  Great, we get a secret link with Harry's anal fantasy...

  by durendal

  Harry, that's just fucking gross. You like the movie, that's fine, but we really don't want to hear about how you'd love to incubate Ferrel's seed in your collossal ass cavity.

  "I can't remember a single piece of movie advertising that's more deceptive, more outrageously, deliberately misleading than the teaser trailer for Anchorman, at least 80 percent of the content of which appears nowhere in the film. The regular trailer is somewhat less egregious, with perhaps only 50 percent of its content absent from the film." [I wish Harry would address this issue]......... "I would have no trouble whatsoever believing that director Adam McKay and Ferrell, who cowrote the script, have absolutely no idea what the hell they were doing. I'd have thought, from those trailers, that Anchorman might be a reasonably cohesive satire -- a poor one, a stupid one, but a cohesive one. But now I think it's only evidence of the literally sketchy Saturday Night Live roots of this embarrassment of a movie, as well as a demonstration of a new low in the genre of the SNL movie. Bad SNL movies -- which are most of them -- are like a single three-minute sketch dragged out over an eternity. But Anchorman doesn't even bother to be a single sketch -- it's a series of barely connected sketches. And not good sketches, either, but instead the kind of sketches that come on after the second performance by the musical guest, when you can't believe you're still watching. And these very bad, barely congealed sketches aren't strung together in any way, just piled on top of one another disjointedly. Anchorman is ninety endless minutes of some of the most stunningly incompetent filmmaking I've ever seen. McKay and Ferrell are so stunningly incompetent, in fact, that they couldn't even figure a way to throw in those uncongealed 'funny' trailer scenes into the disjointed mix. That requires a really special kind of stupid."
