Anchorman Vs Dodgeball FITE!

My iMDB is evidently on the blink -- say what?

dodgeball! Dodgeball! DODGEBALL!

Okay, now those collection of letters don't even look like a word.

OMFG! I hope the terrorists hold out on all-out victory before I can see and savour these two films.

― Enrique (Enrique), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 09:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Dodgeball looks like its gonna be disappointingly run-of-the-mill but Anchorman looks pretty damn solid.

The tagline is funny but the trailer is not.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm having a premonition:
Anchorman = classic.
Dodgeball = dud.
FREAKY!

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 2 June 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm having a premonition:

The cinematic preview for Anchorman was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC

― stephen morris, Sunday, 18 July 2004 14:56 (twenty-one years ago)

This movie was so incredibly classic.

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.

anchorman is 10 times funnier than any other movie mentioned on this thread

― s1ocki (slutsky), Sunday, 18 July 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Quite a decent movie. We've already nicknamed a fellow at work who's not the sharpest crayon in the box, "Brick", in honor of the film.

"I'M RIDING A FUZZY TRACTOR"

― Alan Conceicao, Sunday, 18 July 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

it was a dud. it isn't funny, well some parts are, but mostly it seemed to drag and the others that were not will ferrel were not very good.

― g--ff (gcannon), Sunday, 18 July 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Almost everything in this movie = funny
Other things in other, less funny movies = not

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Sunday, 18 July 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

― TheRealJMod (TheRealJMod), Monday, 19 July 2004 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

??!? almost nothing worked. maybe one joke in 10. and every time something did work there would be some stupid clunker tacked on to the end ("it's a bilingual bloodbath" yeah good one) (we couldn't get away without ben stiller showing up could we)

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

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 19 July 2004 05:07 (twenty-one years ago)

i guess this = ground where criticism cannot tread, cos i just sorta smiled weakly through most of it, esp the last third, but if you all really did lose it then ok!

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 19 July 2004 05:10 (twenty-one years ago)

incredibly fucking funny - did any other freaks and geeks fans spot guidance counselor james rosso? and of course seth rogen.

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 19 July 2004 05:12 (twenty-one years ago)

totally mystifying.

Agreed that VV was great.

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

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Monday, 19 July 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

see, none of these jokes make me laugh reheated like this. in fact, i don't think i laughed at that one the first time 'round.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 19 July 2004 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Wait, I thought you laughed so hard your jaws hurt?

Which jokes DID make you laugh?

― Scott CE (Scott CE), Monday, 19 July 2004 06:30 (twenty-one years ago)

most of em

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 19 July 2004 06:34 (twenty-one years ago)

the funniest bits are the ones i can't remember, it was just the way ferrell inflected certain lines and stuff. and when in rome! the "set-piece" gags weren't nearly as funny as the throwaway stuff (except maybe the dog/bear confrontation, holy shit a funny dog joke in a movie!!)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 July 2004 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i liked the cod-epic language used in the dog/bear subtitles

"go in peace"

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 19 July 2004 15:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I loved all of the "Great Beard of Zeus!" exclamations from such a character. But I was a little disappointed that they didn't work the "I heard their periods attract bears." bit in at the end.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Monday, 19 July 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it was implied!

(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.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 19 July 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

haha contra amst these are sounding pretty good to me reheated! but when i walked out of the theater it was all the animated bit, the singing bit, the cowboy's homo yearning bit...

maybe i should go see it again.

― g--ff (gcannon), Monday, 19 July 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

ya amst otm on the cod-e. lang.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 July 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't think i've used the phrase "dog/bear subtitles" before this thread.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 19 July 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

the only part i was wasn't in hysterics over was the news teams throwdown. cameos killed it. and tim robbins as the pbs anchor is only a little funny.

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!

Vince Vaughn's funny because he mails his parts in - he obviously didn't give a damn about Dodgeball or this, but he'll still get comedy parts left and right.

Christina Applegate was terrible.

My one ILX post while on vacation (I have to kill time while waiting for a taxi) -- good, not great, but I´ll definitively see it again. Seems to be either overpraised or overtrashed, though. I have a hunch the Metallica movie is much funnier.

the metallica movie is funnier in a slow grind kinda way, but neither movie is like 'shipping news' funny or anything.

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?

― NI, Sunday, 17 March 2013 22:22 (twelve years ago)

step brothers.

― dylannn, Sunday, 17 March 2013 22:23 (twelve years ago)

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!'.

― NI, Sunday, 17 March 2013 22:26 (twelve years ago)

cheers d

― NI, Sunday, 17 March 2013 22:26 (twelve years ago)

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

― Beatrix Kiddo (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 18 December 2013 23:50 (eleven years ago)

three months pass...

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.

― ▴▲ ▴TH3CR()$BY$H()W▴▲ ▴ (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 20:05 (eleven years ago)

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.

― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 20:12 (eleven years ago)

No.

― Gritty Shakur (sic), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 21:31 (eleven years ago)

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.

― djenter the dragon? (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 21:49 (eleven years ago)

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

― ▴▲ ▴TH3CR()$BY$H()W▴▲ ▴ (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 15 April 2014 21:53 (eleven years ago)

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

― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 2 June 2014 05:44 (eleven years ago)

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?
