We will admit that last season Parks and Recreation was not exactly our favorite new show. But this year it has really come into its own and is maybe one of the funniest things on TV. (Not that we have a lot of choices for sitcoms anymore.)
Don Cheadle has been cast to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2.
Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's best friend and his future armor-clad cohort War Machine. In a scene toward the end of the movie, he longingly gazes at a silver suit of armor as Iron Man flies off and says, “Next time” (such a rad moment in an already bitchin’ movie) setting up Rhodes transformation into War Machine, and a much larger part, in the sequel, which Justin Theroux (Tropic Thunder) is currently writing.
But there won’t be a next time for Howard.
If you can get through the first five minutes of Tropic Thunder without panting for breath because you’re laughing so hard, you might want to see someone about that.
Ben Stiller’s latest directorial effort is the funniest movie we’ve seen in 2008, and when we say funny we mean weeping, snorting, wailing, slapping the person next to you, pleading for a break because you’re afraid you might pee your pants hilarious.
Go with us on this one: Justin Theroux is mad sexy!
Get past his stupid hat and get down with those stunning brown eyes. Hello!
We were never much of a fan of Theroux’s, but while interviewing him for Tropic Thunder, we were shocked to find ourselves lustily swimming in his eyes, wanting to jump over the table to plant a big wet one on him and giggling like a school girl.
