Tell me Ben Stiller's making a new comedy, and I'm already snoozing. Tell me Ben Stiller's making a new comedy featuring Robert Downey Jr. as a black man, and consider my ticket already purchased.

The film is Tropic Thunder, an action/comedy that bitingly satirizes a group of prestigous individuals that are wholly deserving of such a skewering: Hollywood actors.

Downey Jr. plays Oscar-winner Kirk Lazarus, an actor who takes his craft so seriously that, upon the discovery that his role was originally written as being black, he dyes his skin to stay true to the character.

From Iron Man to this. Awesome.
