Downey Not So Soft : Quote of the Day 8/19

“I get it. This is so high brow and so f--king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie."

- Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) discussing his feelings on the rival superhero film of the summer: The Dark Knight.

A pretty good time to use this quote:
When you are Robert Downey Jr. indirectly explaining why "Tropic Thunder" was absolutely horrific.

A terrible time to use this quote:
When you are an average library internet-user and you are sick of the increasingly pretentious and condescending nature of the plot lines in your favorite free online porn series.

The winning time to use this quote:
When you are a blue collar worker, sitting down to a viewing of "The Matrix Revolutions" with Keanu Reeves himself, and you are being convinced by Reeves that the only way to truly comprehend this film is to attend 'college' classes in his basement where you stare at a variety of images ranging from knife-murdering, to projectile vomit, to adorable puppies, while a random mix of techno, early 80s funk, and classical baroque music starts and stops all around you, and you can't leave until you manage to make it through 7 hours of these activities without changing your facial expression.

Note, if you wonder why we're so insistent on mocking Keanu, just look at his latest thrilling venture

    I guess people forget that Marvel fans and DC Comics fans are complete at odds against each others brand.

    But that's ok. It makes for great blog posts.

    And that, knowing Robert Downey, Jr., he was probably kidding.

    Also, where's the love for Tropic Thunder, guys? I personally found it hilarious. Plus, I learned the greatest lesson an actor can ever learn: "Never go full retard."

    Yeah, I was curious if it was just him being ridiculous, in which case I totally approve.

    Also, I must admit, I haven't actually seen Tropic Thunder, that's just the report I got. Hmm, I'll have to see it to decide.

    hahaha 'never go full retard'
