Imagine being Warner Bros., turning down Home Alone, watching it stay in the top spot of the box office for 12 weeks into the next year and then seeing what you’ve chosen to make instead falter as it happens. You at WB chose to make a movie like Nothing But Trouble and then watched it fail hard while Fox rolled in the dough with Home Alone. A true “kicking myself” moment right there.

Tropic Thunder was one of my favorite movies in 2008. This movie, along with Iron Man, made me fall head over heels in love with Robert Downey Jr. And yes, blackface is so politically incorrect to do in movies now, but Ben Stillers direction and writing contribution helped balance the over the top satire of Downey’s character. Hell, the dude was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for this role. I just really glad he didn’t win, because all hell would have broke loose in the Black community if he did!!! Bruh!!! All in all, it’s a great film. You have to watch it. Bonus tip, watch the extended version. Way more funnier scenes included.

The humor definitely works still today. I also hate when people say garbage like, "I wouldn't be made today".

On the last two days of school, I borrowed my brother's Napoleon Dynamite movie. I hadn't seen it, but turned it on for students if they wanted to watch. I had 4 classes throughout the day, and I watched the first half 4 times, and the next day, I watched the second half of the video for 4 class periods. The more I watched It , the more I laughed. It just got funnier and funnier the more I watched it. Just seeing the clip made me laugh again. I love the movie.

You left out the biggest reason why 21 Jump Street was such a surprisingly good comedy: the show it was based off of was not a comedy. It was a show with a flimsy premise that mostly played it straight. That it was able to be converted into a campy comedy was a huge surprise. It’s the equivalent of following up the Tim Burton Batman movies with the Adam West show.
