Come anticipate ANCHORMAN with me

It not only exceeded my expectations, it kicked my expectations' ass and left them for dead on the side of the road in a cloud of dust.

"MILK WAS A BAD CHOICE!"

"I'M RIDING A FUZZY TRACTOR"

"I stabbed a man with a trident!"

actually the secret hero is vince vaughn who is genius as per.

Agreed that VV was great.

"Not a word from you guys? really? Even the guy who can't think said something!"

Which jokes DID make you laugh?

(subtlety!)

the main character made practially no coherent sense, not least because of the "great beard of zeus!" exclamations, which were some of the funniest things in the film.

maybe i should go see it again.

there were very small children in the audience when i saw it. they freaked out when jack black kicked that dog over the bride. i thought they would be traumatized. but when the dog was shown to be alive they cheered!

Christina Applegate was terrible.

As you were. Venezuela´s wonderful. Seeya Friday!

And now something I'm sure all you gentlemen have been craving...http://www.sex-panther.com/.

Awesome!

sorely tempted to enter this

So I have to join the group to see the photos? Way to celebrate diversity "Burkbeck"!

if this is the first mainstream comedy film of the past 20 years that you've seen and you were in pain laughing at it, what would be the next film starring same/similar people to watch?

step brothers.

loved almost all of it, except that cack-handed 'cat shit on plate' scene where you could tell ferrell and other guy were improvising - both talking too fast and kinda smug (like 'woah we're breaking new ground here!') and not reacting to each other in any believable sense. this part really stuck out like a sore thumb, didn't fit the feel of the film at all and kinda just wasn't funny. "get this guy a steak. get him a steak now", naaaahh. should've saved it for the outtakes. minor minor gripe though, just seems weird how this was left in - poss a bit of hubris slipping in, like 'we're so funny we're awesome at EVERYTHING, even the crap we make up on the spot!'.

cheers d

oh yeah and carell's character would have been much much funnier if he'd be silent for 90% of his time onscreen. too hammy, and not in the good way

i think this was added for the extended dvd cut

weird revive, btw. i watched this tonight.

ahh i was going to ask if it was only in the uncut version. makes more sense now

"Ron, were you RAPED?"

How weird is it that, without a doubt, there's been some soldier in Afghanistan who's made it back to base with his team and gone, "Well. That escalated quickly."

very weird

not very weird

kind of weird

About this weird. (holds hands apart)

*winks, spreads hands a little wider*

You have a great day, fellas. We'll see you around the bend.

Did anyone see part 2

I saw it yesterday. Too long. Also needlessly cruel and "edgy", lots of race baiting, lots of scenes that should have ended 5 minutes earlier than they do. The cameos at the big newscaster fight at the end was the best part. Will Ferrell was the worst part of this.

It's a parody of the first movie, basically, it's like if Adam Sandler remade it and HAD TO SCREAM EVERY OTHER LINE or speak it in a loopy, stupid 5th grader voice. Again, the racist stuff was effing awful, especially since they justify it by having him dating the black female newswoman (to the point where he meets her family), and then she just completely disappears when he decides to go back to his ex-wife, like the script writers just completely forgot she existed.

Is the end worth struggling through the rest of it? My wife and I tried to watch this last weekend and gave up about 35-40 minutes in. The race-baiting stuff was so off-putting.

No.

Okay, didn't think so, but wanted to hear someone else tell me. I didn't expect this to be great, but I was shocked at how awful it was - even with the supposedly "funnier" R-rated cut.

Yeah it was horrible. And the ending is a rip-off of the first movie, just replace the gorillas with a shark.

Also like 10 minutes into this movie Ron is yelling insults at a show dolphin, which probably isn't the best look post-Blackfish.

its lols so far

was that Thor at the funeral

awful

what

trigger warning: a person yells at a fish/seamammal

i remember this movie (2) being funny at first and then kinda losing a bunch of steam in the middle, much like most comedies

stepbrothers remains the only actually funny will ferrell movie

srsly it turned out woeful but the Adam bruneau review above is hilarious

like, "you prob shouldn't watch movies" hilarious

i thought it was funny. i mean that review is otm but i laughed enough to forgive the awful stuff and how scattershot the movie was as a whole. its like they just shot 4 hours of scenes without any storyboards or even much of a script and had to cobble a movie together at the end. and yeah there's a ton of yelling but isn't that every Will Ferrell movie?

i guess this is a year old at least now but i just saw the ron burgundy scotch in a store

whatever shred of yourself is left free to hate something so pointlessly stupid these days, have at it
