Photograph from Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller’s new movie. Robert Downey Jr. is in it (look closely, that’s him in the middle). At first I thought “backlash”, but in the movie he plays an Oscar-winning actor that wins a part in a war movie that was originally casted for a black guy, so I guess he’s one step removed from controversy. Either way, it looks nuts.
