Talk:Tropic Thunder

Concern about images

I am a bit concerned here.

On the one hand, it's great that we have screenshots of guns from the movie. On the other, they're obviously from a bootleg of the movie (since "Tropic Thunder" has yet to be released on DVD or Blu Ray). I am worried that if some studio Politburo member happens to be looking for bootleggers to harass, they might come by this site and see our images. And we might get in trouble.

Thus, I am sorry to say that I think it would be best if we take the images down for now. Of course, I will not do without democratic consent from my fellow admins. What is your opinion? -MT2008 23:44, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Then we might as we get rid of the images for Pineapple Express. Cause that's full of photos I took from a bootleg download. And then what about my Unit page? A lot of the recent pics are from episode's I downloaded from mininova. Does it count since it's a TV show? Cause I got a lot of photos that I painstakingly took watching every episode again

I explained to you since I made that post that I don't care about ones that exist already. Also, no I'm not so concerned about "The Unit", because Unit episodes are available any time from iTunes. My issue with Pineapple Express is that it's obvious that it had to have come from a bootleg because the movie isn't out on DVD yet, whereas The Unit is available on iTunes and DVD. That's all I'm saying. Don't post screenshots of movies that haven't been released on DVD yet. -MT2008 06:03, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

And I won't from now on. -Ex

The images from the UNIT or any television show is not an issue. It's been released already via television. What's to keep someone from DVRing the show and screen capping from that? It's obviously NOT a bootleg if it's been on TV. But bootlegs from theatrical release films should be avoided. I only screencap upcoming movies from trailers or clips that have already been released to the general public. MoviePropMaster2008 05:29, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

DVD

I just bought this on DVD and if its okay can I screencap it on wednesday? -GM

How's it look

Did it come out alright? I need help with that CAR-15, but other than that, it looks pretty good. -GM

The military advisor was probably in on it.

Given the nature of this movie, I'd fully expect that not only was the military advisor in on it, he may have actively encouraged it.
