10 Movies That Deserve a Spin-Off More Than Paranormal Activity

2. Tropic Thunder - "The Lazarus Project"

Kirk Lazarus is a character too good to give up. And Downey Jr.'s talent is a given, so flamboyantly dressing the guy in a thousand different roles to continuously bring in the laughs is a-okay by me. And there's so many different paths the movie could take. Dramedy? Straight comedy? Mockumentary? Hell, I'd even throw in a "found-footage" option. But just to have him steal the show in Tropic Thunder and be buried is a crime. In my opinion, he's not finished until he's offended every race known to man. This is Hollywood winking and jabbing at its finest, and I, for one, am not ready to let go.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
