How did they get away with this?

scientology is more powerful than you can imagine.

>>81905901
they never say, AHAHAHAH LOOK AT ME JEWISH BIG NOSE AND THE HOLOCAUST! AHAH

its been a while, but wasn't the big twist in this movie that noone knew that it was tom cruise until the credits rolled

>>81906225
Kind of overstating it, it's just that it was Tom Cruise.

>>81905954
>Jews vs. Scientologist

Meh, its like stealing from Beelzebub to pay Moloch.

>>81906270
was he not in any of the promos or anything?

How accurate is Lester Grossman to real life Hollywood?

>>81906225

No, it's pretty obvious it's Tom Cruise.

>>81906225
I think it was that they never announced that Tom Cruise was in the movie, so him showing up at all was the surprise

I actually just finished rewatching this for the first time in a few years.

People forget that Tropic Thunder came out at the lowest point in Tom Cruise's career. Like this is prime oprah couch jumping, full retard Scientology, firing his publicist TC shit. He was on the cup of JUST.

Then Tropic Thunder came out and they smartly hid his involvement in the movie. Like nothing leaked there were no cameo trailers. Nada.

So when you meet Les Grossman in the film for the first time you're legitimately like wait.. is that fucking Tom Cruise? In a comedy?

And then he ends up being the funniest thing in the whole movie. It's maybe 5 minutes of total screen time but it's a pitch-perfect send up of Hollywood Jew producers and he kills the performance.

Also, he came up with the idea for the character himself.

>take a full step back and literally fuck your own face

>>81905901
Lel. I don't think he's supposed to be Jewish. Btw, Grossman means something like "Great man" or "Big man".

>>81907682
>Grossman Family History. Jewish (Ashkenazic): descriptive nickname for a large man (see Grossmann).
Nevermind, he's supposed to be a yid

>>81907682
He's absolutely supposed to be a Jew they don't try and hide it at all. His office has a massive Hebrew glyph right behind his desk and everything.

To answer OPs question:
They got away with it because Ben Stiller co-wrote and directed it. And it was exaggerated but accurate.

>the SNL comedian heard some unfortunate news, which especially worried him as a new dad. "I hear a crew person say, 'Did you hear what happened in New York?' And I'm like, 'What happened?' 'A guy tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square.'" Hader, who had already been "a little anxious" because it was the first time he had been away from his infant daughter, Hannah, had a "full-on panic attack." He desperately tried to call and text his wife Maggie, when Cruise noticed his concern. "He comes over and he's like, 'Are you okay, man?'" Hader explained the situation. Cruise then asked when Hader was supposed to return to New York. Not for another two days.

>"He thinks for a second. 'No,' he says. 'We'll get you home tonight.' And in that moment, Tom Cruise, as Les Grossman, in a karate gi, began to direct all my coverage," Hader recalled. "All my footage, all my close-ups. Boom! We do three perfect takes. Boom, boom, boom. Everyone's chest-butting each other, some people are chest-butting themselves, people are going insane." Two days' worth of work, Hader said, "and he got it done in 45 minutes." Then Katie Holmes came up to him and handed him a piece of paper with his new flight information. "You're on the red eye tonight," she told him. "I'm like, 'What?!'" Hader said. Because Cruise got him out of work and on a plane that night, he was able to surprise his wife and daughter by 7:45 the next morning and check in on them in person. "So that's what it's like to work with Tom Cruise," Hader said.

When is Tom going to get behind the camera already?

>>81908094
Long overdue desu

I go back and forth on how I feel about him as a person cuz you get stories like this and then shit like setting up real good craft service tents with his own money. But you gotta listen to him or his people on Scientology shit.

Regardless, professionally? Holy fuck I would kill to work on a scene together with him.
The man loves making movies and he's fucking *good.*

Not memeing, Tom Cruise is a national treasure when it comes to movies. People tend to just see Mission Impossible and scientology now, but he's done some straight up goddamn impressive shit. And weird shit. He was in Legend for gods sake. And he was amazing in Born on the Fourth of July.

and lets not forget how ultimately badass he was as a grey haired hitman in Collateral.

Tom Cruise circlejerking is the only circlejerking I approve.

The man is a legend

>>81908473
I wish we saw Tom more on unusual roles for him. He was great as a villain in Collateral, and awesome in a comedic role in TT. Him only doing action roles is such a waste

>>81908594

Well he's done it all in his younger years, I guess the feeling for him is "do I slow do now that I'm getting older or ride a motor cycle out of a C-130 onto the great pyramid of giza?" He's got the money, the fame and brass to push action to the envelope that the new guys can't and the old guys are too busy putting on prosthetics and talking in hushed tones for Oscar bait.

Tom Cruise is just a fucking winner, plain and simple.

Hes a manlet. He is publicly identified with a known cult. Yet he still fucking crushes it. His movies are never bad. People still like him.

He's a fucking winner.

Tom Cruise is the sole reason why I think there may be some benefit to scientology. He must be getting something valuable out of it to be operating at such a high level for so long.

Prosthetics, come on now.

>Michèle Burke (makeup designer): I was Tom’s go-to makeup person from Interview With the Vampire on. I did a lot of big, iconic looks for him. I got a text saying, “Tom wants to have hairy arms.” And I was thinking, Oh, OK,we can get hairy arms. Then they were like, “We want him to have a hairy chest.” Then suddenly it was like he’s going to have big hands, and I’m sitting there thinking,This is getting bigger than I expected. Then they started sending me pictures of other people who looked a bit like this. You know, with the gold jewelry, the hairy chest. I thought,OK, now I’m beginning to get the picture, this is full-on.

>Barney Burman (makeup designer): I had about a dozen people making the silicone prosthetics for his head, neck, chest, and hands. We made him special gloves. I did the sculpting, someone else did the molds, someone else was casting them. I had six different people punching hairs into the scalp piece, so his entire head was one-at-a-time, hand-punched hairs; his arms were hand-punched one at a time; his chest was hand-punched.

>Connie Grayson Criswell (lead hair-puncher): It was kind of a pain in the butt because we were punching with very curly human hair. Curly hair is very hard to punch because it has a mind of its own.

Check out Cruise's Nerdist podcast interview. He comes across as a great guy. It's Nerdist, so the hosts are a bit cringeworthy and the questions are all soft as shite, but they do get out of his way and just let him talk.

Jewish people I've known are usually entertained by jokes about their stereotypes, as long as they're not mean-spirited. Cause they know those Jewish stereotypes as well as anyone, and they chuckle because they know they're true. I'm sure they thought it was all hilarious.

This is like talking to a child.

I am aware what the symbol means, but I'm saying that it's there because someone was a fan of Max Cavalera. Do you finally understand?

I think it's just that general area where it was filmed fit the movie, you've got a Jewaboo, a scene where they rip off a Jewish jewelry store and an American Jew criminal flying in to sort shit out after it goes wrong.

Man that movie's memorable as hell even beyond Brad Pitt's turn as a pikey, it still blows my mind that Tommy went on to be Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire.

Stiller is Jewish, the other co-writer Ethan Cohen (not Coen) is Jewish as well. The character was suggested by the film's producer, Stuart Cornfeld (probably Jewish) so as a joke the writers based the character on him.

>Cornfeld: Tom read the script when there was no Les Grossman and said, “I think you need another villain other than just the 12-year-old drug king. What about some greedy pig studio executive who really represents the gross part of Hollywood?”
>The appearance and personality of Les Grossman, the hotheaded and foul-mouthed Hollywood producer played by Tom Cruise in Stiller's film Tropic Thunder, is reportedly based in part on Cornfeld.[1]

Is the character Jewish? Yes. In the same interview, Cornfeld also mentions:

>Stiller: Tom choreographed all his own moves. I remember watching him do this stuff and thinking this is so frigging funny.
>Cornfeld: Most directors, if an actor in that situation said, “Maybe I should dance,” suddenly, the script has additions to it. All of a sudden the secretary is saying, “Oh, Mr. Grossman, you’ve got to practice your dance routine for your daughter’s bat mitzvah,” or something like that.

It's also a parody of scummy Jewish producers like Weinstein. The same way Ari Gold in Entourage was a Jewish stereotype and parody of a famous scummy Hollywood Jew agent, but was allowed because the show was written and produced by Jews.

So it's Jews making fun of Jewish stereotypes, it's allowed, because it's their own hypocritical arrogance. If it was blackface or jewface directed by a goy, they would have gotten the ADL on their ass (as it is, the NY times still condemned the movie for its use of blackface and jewface, but overall no lobbies complained)

The only other notable use of blackface recently (Roger in Mad Men) was also by a Jew (Weiner), even if it was meant as critical of blackface itself it still triggers librul PC fascists. Redpill: Jews are the biggest racists -see also Sony leaks, Amy Pascal on Obama-
