You hated this film and yet you quote "Tropic Thunder". I guess that tells us all we need to know.

You mean, how he disliked this and found tropic thunder funny?

If you're trying to assume anything more than that off his post, it says a lot more about you than him to be honest.

In my opinion, Tropic Thunder is a great rip on hollywood and actors and the current state of movies. This is a mediocre movie with non-involving drama, poorly paced action, and some bad acting all around. Even the kid was like a charicature of a real Autistic person...

And yes OP, you NEVER go full retard. Might never come back...

The funniest part of this whole thread is the fact that the actor who played Simon (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0400816/) had an uncredited cameo in Tropic Thunder

What the Bearded Wonder wrote. I've seen vastly superior portrayals of Autistic individuals in other movies/TV. Don't get me wrong, it's not Miko Hughes' fault but more of the director(s)/writer(s). I felt Simon bogged down a lot of movie and the film overall lacked substance and style.

You should not mock Gage.. Gage will come and slice your achilles heel with his fathers scalpel. And Zelda will mock you since you will NEVER WALK AGAIN!!

But he didn't go full retard. As Kirk Lazarus would say:

"Check it out. Miko Hughes, 'Mercury Rising', look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Cracked top secret government encryption. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded."

^^This. The movie was good, the performances were good, if the OP didn't like it, fine, don't watch it, don't comment about it.

Yes OP, you should watch Scorpion King or Fast and The Furious. Forget you ever watched this film and do not come to this board. It will save all of us (including yourself) from a lot of pain.
