Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey may seem like a relatively unlikely pair for an animated movie. Then again, they are two stars at the top of their game. It could very well work.

Guy Ritchie may be having difficulty getting RocknRolla out, but at least he’s nabbed a culprit to face Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes.

Robert Fure rumbles in the jungle with “Tropic Thunder” and pisses his pant suit while farming lead.

Controversy is all over the place as Kevin calls for a boycott of Tropic Thunder due to insensitivity to fat people while Neil takes some shots at Tim Shriver. Nothing is sacred, and everyone should be offended at this week’s Fat Guys at the Movies.

I am not here to talk about the controversy, I am here to bring you more funny videos from the faux documentary within the faux production of the real movie that is Tropic Thunder.

Some have suggested that this movie goes too far with inappropriate language, situations and characters, but unlike some movies, Tropic Thunder isn’t just going for shock value. At its heart, Tropic Thunder is a parody of its own industry and nothing more.

Everybody is all up-in-arms about the new film Tropic Thunder, but so few people have seen it yet. If you think you might be the least bit offended by this movie, you can stay home… or you can drink until the movie isn’t offensive at all.

Robert Downey Jr. delivers the worlds most awesome sound bite and provides greater insight into the madness that is Kirk Lazarus.

Apparently the character known as Iron Man is a badass — who knew? And as of this morning, there should be few dry seats in the world of tech support, as the DVD details for the summer’s second biggest superhero flick have been released.

It appears that with Tropic Thunder just over a week away from its theatrical release, not everyone is laughing at its often ridiculous premise.

The battle lines have been drawn! Etan Cohen and Robert Downey Jr, both involved in “Tropic Thunder,” divide into different “Sherlock” camps.

We’ve got over two dozen new looks at Ben Stiller’s upcoming “Tropic Thunder” including a few behind the scenes shot of the man himself giving direction.

You won’t want to miss Robert Downey Jr’s thoughts on “Iron Man 2″ or his reaction to “The Dark Knight!”

With Comic-Con over and done, we want to take a moment to pause and look back, at the year so far. We do this in a format that we like to call “Ten Things We Liked, 5 Things We Didn’t.”

I fibbed a bit in the title above, and I’m sorry. Technically though, Marvel still has yet to sign Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. to direct and star in the inevitable (and already scheduled) sequel, so perhaps this post will prove prophetic…

Variety is confirming this evening what many of us reported back in early June as rumor: Robert Downey Jr. will play a swashbuckling version of Sherlock Holmes in a Warner Bros. film helmed by Guy Ritchie.

Is it a little odd that I am ready to forgo the theatrical release of Paramount’s Tropic Thunder in hopes that I could just skip right to the DVD release?

I am beginning to think that Ben Stiller’s upcoming flick Tropic Thunder is more of a character study on the egotistical nature of Hollywood — wrapped in a big flour tortilla of hilarity.

Fan favorite and “Iron Man” star Robert Downey Jr. has traded his repulsor cannons for Colt Peacemakers in “Cowboys and Aliens.”

In the latest rumors to come out of the Marvel rumor mill (which has, by the way, been working overtime this week), we now think we know that Leonardo DiCaprio is very high on the list for the lead role in Captain America. Interesting…

We’ve already talked about Robert Downey Jr. possibly playing Sherlock Holmes in Guy Ritchie’s upcoming big screen adaptation. But what about a swordfighting, boxing Sherlock Holmes?

After the runaway success of Iron Man that kicked off this summer and the imminent success of Tropic Thunder in August, Robert Downey Jr. is on fire — not literally, but almost.

Can I get a warranty before Hulk smashes my Blu-Ray player with over an hour of extra footage? Maybe Captain America can just lend me some of his signing bonus to buy a new one.

I know that this is about as off topic as we’ve been around here, but seeing as I dedicated a significant chunk of my afternoon to following Steve Jobs’ Keynote at the Apple Worldwide Developer’s Conference today, I feel that it is somewhat relevant.

Now that Tony Stark’s cameo in The Incredible Hulk is in one of the film’s TV spots, it is time to start speculating as to who the real surprise cameo will be…

From the set of his new acting gig, a supporting player on I Love You, Man, Jon Favreau talks about the future of Iron Man, his role, and what summer movies he is looking forward to.

Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. scuffle over Tropic Thunder. And the two best things about this… 1) Jack Black doesn’t scat at all, and 2) they don’t even mention The Love Guru.

The Soloist will be released on November 21 and has already garnered some Oscar buzz. Keep your eyes on FSR as we will keep close coverage on the film.

Despite his off-camera problems in the mid-1990s, Robert Downey Jr. has always been a truly great American actor. So why shouldn’t he move on to playing an American icon, maybe Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, perhaps?

That’s right folks, I am absolutely not kidding when I say that I have not seen a better trailer this year than the one we just posted, right here, for Tropic Thunder.
