"Tropic Thunder" clips and trailer
The Tropic Thunder trailer
Those of us who have been seeing the ads for Tropic Thunder and groaning at what looks to be another lame inside Hollywood joke for straight guys might be surprised to learn that:
A. It's actually quite funny; and
B. One of the central characters is gay
This second point in particular might come as a surprise because no one seems to have mentioned the fact anywhere, likely because it's a bit of a late-story twist and there's lots of other things going on to discuss. But if you're curious to hear more about which character is gay and how it's handled, check out our review over on the main page. If you'd rather not be spoiled, you can check out these clips and trailer instead!
You also may have heard that 22 groups for disabled people are calling for a boycott of the film for its use of insensitive language regarding the mentally handicapped. Check out the first clip and see what you think.

One more after the break...
Note: This one contains some spicy language.
