Title: Anchorman 2
Post by: Limey on March 05, 2013, 10:20:54 am
Looks like the whole original cast is back, plus Kristen Wiig and Harrison Ford.  WTF? (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/mar/05/harrison-ford-signs-up-for-anchorman-sequel)

what a lay-up that was.  I must say, the first time I watched Anchorman, I thought it was the dumbest movie ever made.  Then, for some reason, I watched it again, and it was like a whole new world opened up.  I could not believe how I could possibly miss such comedic genius the first time around.  There is hardly a week go by that I don't tell someone..."It's science", or "60% of the time, it works every time"...I mean, there are just so many common applications of the Anchorman one-liners.  Really a life changing movie.

I had exactly the same experience.  I watched it the first time in disbelief that Will Farrell - a man who makes me laugh just by doing nothing - could've made such a clunker.  Of course, since then...

I'm a little annoyed that the trailers are starting to divulge big plot points.  I get that it's a Will Ferrell comedy, not a Chrisopher Nolan film, but jeez, I like a little surprise.

Just seeing your Avatar, GBB, and thinking of the enormous ad campaign associated with this movie, I can't help but wonder if we're dealing with an Airplane 2 equivalent, as in still entertaining but not nearly on the same level and get as many to the theatre as quickly as possible before word of mouth kills it.

He's already made a number of sequels, they're just different sets of characters. 

And in the spirit of the season, I'd just note that I too like the Christmas Jesus best.

Me too. My least favorite is Jesus singing lead vocal for Lynyrd Skynyrd.

While I appreciate the aesthetics, I can't abandon the constitutionally mandated separation of church and rock and roll.

Except of course for that whole Spirit in the Sky thing.  That was great.
