It's happening...and I'm stoked.

Trekker4747 · March 29 2012, 03:10 AM

Huh.

You know, I've got to say I was never much impressed with the first movie.

Maybe I'll give another watch and re-think.

Harvey · March 29 2012, 03:17 AM

I know the first movie is popular, but to me it always seemed like the premise of a comedy short had been stretched to feature length to make it. There are funny moments, but overall it's just to thin for me to remember it all that fondly.

Trekker4747 · March 29 2012, 03:24 AM

The general "idea" of it was pretty funny but I think some elements went too... broad. Like the Steve Carrel character losing his arm in an alley fight (!) and stuff along those lines. It should've, I think, stayed more strictly as a comedic parody of 1970s news media and the machismo in it.

Gary Mitchell · March 29 2012, 03:28 AM

^I know that I watched Anchorman, but I don't even remember that scene or much else about the movie.

Samurai8472 · March 29 2012, 03:56 AM

Huh. I thought this was something I missed last night

But apparently the Ron Burgundy announcement is tonight on an all new Conan.

Snafu? Jumping the gun teamcoco?

I know the episodes are filmed like in the afternoon.

This was one of those movies that the first time I watched it, I didn't quite get the hype. But then as I caught bits and pieces of it on TV and watched it a couple more times over the years, it really grew on me. I heartily welcome a sequel.

This is a joke thread. It has to be.

Caligula · March 29 2012, 01:56 PM

The first had a few good one-liners, but overall yeah.... not that impressed. Allegedly, it gets better with repeat viewings, but I wouldn't know.

Starkers · March 29 2012, 02:11 PM

Yeah I've only ever seen it the once and I wasn't that impressed, and I went with a group and I think I was the one who found it the funniest! I recall the alley fight being funny but the rest...nah not so much.

Ferrell's best roles are still the smaller appearances rather than as the star (ie Mugatu)

Servo · March 29 2012, 02:51 PM

So Will Ferrell has reached the conclusion we all came to 5 years ago; he'll never make anything as good as Anchorman. But a sequel? Really? Kinda seems desperate to me.

And Trekker, it wasn't Steve Carell's character who lost his arm, it was a rival news team member played by Luke Wilson.

Caligula · March 29 2012, 03:27 PM

Yeah, Steve Carell's character had all his digits, just not all of his marbles: "I love lamp."

Beagleman · March 29 2012, 03:38 PM

LOUD NOISES!

Servo · March 29 2012, 03:50 PM

Yeah, about that, you may want to lay low for a while.
