Watching Tropic Thunder (based on a post by Gideon).
I'm in the middle - heh! It's an update on the Three Amigos!
Which is cool because I love that scenario.
I always thought, given the right treatment (handled seriously), the basic plot of the Three Amigos could play out as an excellent action film - it's basically the Magnificent Seven (Seven Samurai), except the warriors don't know they are volunteering to save the village from real criminals (they think it's part of their show business careers, but must come round to becoming real heroes through combat).
Man, I'm all over the place with my movie references tonight!
