mpp · 02-29-2008, 08:58 AM

Elvis The Fat Years · 02-29-2008, 09:43 AM

It's rated R.

Trotskilicious · 02-29-2008, 09:52 AM

I feel like perhaps the only person on earth that thinks this movie is gonna be funny.

i dunno. i find the old spice commercials hilarious.

waltermcphilp · 02-29-2008, 11:57 AM

dear will ferrell,

stop playing the same characters over and over. thank you.

sppunk · 02-29-2008, 11:59 AM

This movie is apparently unwatchable.

Eulogy · 02-29-2008, 12:02 PM

oh wow, it's at 27% on RT. that's surprising to me. check that one off the list then.

Trotskilicious · 02-29-2008, 12:58 PM

What's wrong with it that wasn't wrong about Talledega or Anchorman?

Caine Walker · 02-29-2008, 01:00 PM

my guess would be, "it's not funny."

Trotskilicious · 02-29-2008, 01:06 PM

I dunno, I was laughing at the clips that I saw. Seems to be pretty much the same movie as the other two, just with basketball. I don't see what's wrong with that.

and yeah the Old Spice commercials are pretty special. The one about "yesterfar" and cavemen...probably the best.

Nimrod's Son · 02-29-2008, 06:08 PM

rom what i've heard about people who have seen it, all of the funny comes from people staying in character, and that the jokes and scenes themselves are not funny

Trotskilicious · 02-29-2008, 10:49 PM

I mean all I know is that it's filled with funny people, but *shrug*

Catherine Wheel · 02-29-2008, 11:22 PM

I saw it tonight. Its pretty funny. It's much better than Blades of Glory and Taladega Nights. It's not quite as good as Anchorman.

The supporting cast play it pretty straight. Most of the humor really comes from Ferrell. He really carries this one. He plays the usual narcissistic type he played in Anchorman and Blades of Glory.

redbull · 03-01-2008, 12:52 AM

the main thing setting Anchorman apart from the rest of Ferrel's work is the jazz flute bit and HEY AQUALUNG!

neopryn · 03-01-2008, 01:57 AM

that and the supporting cast

Yeah i mean everyone in it has great lines, too. Anchorman has a kind of improv magic to it, as well.

Eulogy · 03-01-2008, 12:48 PM

Anchorman is a total classic. i need to watch that again.

Trotskilicious · 03-01-2008, 01:05 PM

I can't watch it anymore i think I can quote the whole thing from beginning to end.

Trotskilicious · 03-01-2008, 01:05 PM

HEY EVERYONE! COME SEE HOW GOOD I LOOK!

redbull · 03-01-2008, 01:12 PM

mr burgundy, you have a massive erection

Trotskilicious · 03-01-2008, 01:16 PM

Don't act like you're not impressed.

Trotskilicious · 03-01-2008, 01:16 PM

"I hear their periods attract bears. They can smell the menstruation."
"You hear that? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in danger!"

"It's anchorMAN not anchorLADY and that is a scientific FACT."

Trotskilicious · 03-01-2008, 01:27 PM

I didn't look anything quite like Domino so I don't know if "unwatchable" is the word I'd use.

Of course the last two movies sppunk has seen was Atonement and the Queen so I'm pretty sure he's weirded out by movies if he's not completely bored.

smashingjj · 03-01-2008, 01:43 PM

sppunk is blind, things are unwatchable for him easily

Trotskilicious · 03-01-2008, 11:06 PM

THis is true as well. Good point.

Yeah it has so much improv quality. It really is an awesome movie.
