a good actor

robert downey jr., man.
he's great, not to mention gorgeous.

i watched ben stiller's tropic thunder yesterday with amanda and liz. it was such a funny and gross movie.

in the movie, robert downey jr. plays a white man playing a black man or as kirk lazarus, downey's character, put it, he's "a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude" which doesn't make sense unless downey was referring to himself playing lazarus playing sergeant lincoln osirus.

i think my favorite scene with him though, is when he takes out the contacts he had to wear for the movie and shows the audience his brilliant blue eyes. (in the film he has blue eyes.)

← aren't cosmetics amazing?

speaking of favorite scenes, jack black also stole the show a few times.
sure, his scenes are more for crude humor, but they've still found a soft spot in my heart.
i especially like the scene where he has just been shot by a missile and he's rolling on the floor in a burmese (?) dress screaming "my ass! my ass!"

my goodness, that movie had such a star-studded cast.
tobey macguire from the spiderman movies, top model tyra banks, tom cruise from... lots of movies, jennifer love hewitt from the ghost whisperer, and of course, the cutie matthew mcconaughey. (:

i also watched the first half of sherlock holmes two days ago.
robert downey jr. was also in that one.
my goodness, he has an amazing accent.
jude law wasn't half bad himself.
gosh, i love men. *______*

EDIT: shoot, in my obsession with men i had neglected to mention why i thought robert is such a good actor: if i hadn't know who he was, i would never have guessed that sergeant osirus was actually played by a white man! robert really nailed the character of osirus. from his gruffy voice, to his attitude, to his behavior, to his accent... what more can i say? he's not just a good actor but a great actor!

please watch the movie when you guys have time just for robert, haha.




EDIT again: just finished sherlock holmes. robert. downey. jr.! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
