Tropic Thunder is playing at Park Place Cinema. In Morrisville. Maybe for several more weeks, than on it will go, to Carmike/Blue Ridge. A DVD release will no doubt follow.
The movie has made headlines for it's success at the box office and for it's use of the R word.
California's first lady Maria Shriver has written about it.
So has her brother Timothy Shriver.
Marcia Brady has pledged not to see the film.
Whether folks go see the movie or not, the R word is being discussed. It's a step. Yes it is.
UPDATE 8/29 - Likely the discussions will get a bit more..... interesting. McCain's running mate has an infant son with Down syndrome. As a high profile special needs parent she joins the likes of Gene Stallings, George Will, Julie Newmar, Dale Evans & Roy Rogers. But politics is a far different kind of high profile. I hope the discussions are productive ones.
