Quote:

Dreamworks has launched their Best Supporting Actor campaign for Kirk Lazarus, the character that Robert Downey Jr plays in Tropic Thunder. Dreamworks is also pushing Downey Jr. for the same award in real life. I wonder if viral web marketing like this will confuse Academy members or if its a genius idea to get free “For Your Consideration” advertising from movie and fansites (hey, we fell for the bait!). Either way, you gotta love the script “Choose the Dude, playing a Dude, Disguised as Another Dude.” Dreamworks also edited together two “television advertisements”, which you can watch after the jump.

Any of you guys seen "Rain of Madness"? It's a fake documentary of "Tropic Thunder". It's not that bad, but there is scene with Downy Jr living with his fake black family (as he never goes out of character) flipping out totally...man this guy is a genius. 1:46 in to this trailer

WOW! Thanks for the heads-up Cox, didn't know about the mockumentary until now and i just go the rls BTW. Does anyone know if Downey's "black" role was accused of being "racist". Well, i know its all a joke but does everybody get the joke?

I think there was some initial murmur when it was announced, but nothing major.

8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!
