Not sure if a sequel is a good idea,
by jimmay

but I do love the first one. It's just absurd enough to cover the fact it's really a pretty witty satire on the cheesy chauvinism of the 1970's.

or if making millions for starring in complete crap has spoiled him. He hasn't done anything funny since 40 year old virgin. I'm sure Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Christina Applegate would come back, though.

In an interview a while back, Steve Carrel said he would "absolutley" return for Anchorman 2 and he doesn't think his character should be taken any further than it is (i.e., keep it a supporting role).

Anchorman is truly one of those only only films that just took me about three times to view it before I started laughing every minute. I can watch it at least once every year now or so to laugh just as long and hard. Bring on a sequel, and have more singing. Hell, make it a fucking musical. My ass is in the seat.

And I hope he wasn't just blowing smoke in that interview. It really wouldn't be 'Anchorman' without Brick, and it'd be lame if they made his character a main player just to cash in on his "Star power." Any cameos (Stiller, Rogen, Vaughn, Wilson, Black, Robbins, etc.) would have to be done tastefully, as well.

It's simple, the smaller the role the funnier he is. Examples? Anchorman, eh. Old School, ha. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Har. Austin Powers, Har Har.
Ferrell sucks...
by thegreatwhatzit
Jul 23rd, 2008
09:54:00 PM
And, gauging the underwhelming boxoffice of his previous film, he's overexposed. Ferrell (definitely no Phil Hartman) is slipping into the Abbott & Costello cycle; after a profitable launch, they made too many lame movies (of course, their legacy was rescued with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN). By the way, Ferrell loathes his fans (declines autographs); one day, he'll beg of the attention.

If only for Ben Stiller's shit-yourself-from-laughing-so -hard performance, that statement is true.

Still, I'm a little curious to see if a sequel can live up to the original and not just hang on a bunch of super-obvious whoa-what-were-they-thinking gags about 80s style.
Wedding Crashers?

Jul 23rd, 2008
10:25:18 PM
Funnier than Anchorman? Seriously? That movie was worth a few chuckles on first viewing, but was basically unwatchable after that. Mostly good just for the shock value of the unpredictable scenes like the under the table HJ, or gay dude in a closet. The writing itself was pretty poor.

He's funny in small doses, try a buddy comedy (and try getting a comedian as a co-star...as much as i love John C. Reilly, he never has and never will carry a movie.)

Or try playing a real person again, like in Old School...Ferrell was hilarious but he actually felt like someone who could interact with the real world, unlike all the rest of his movies where he's off on Planet Ferrell. More and more, lately, by himself.

by bravogolfhotel

Or should I say, "Boy, this thread really got out of hand"? I'm of two minds about this. I love ANCHORMAN to pieces (I even bought the two-disc edition with the alternate version patched together from deleted scenes and dropped subplots), but I'm going to need to be convinced that a sequel would be fresh enough to justify its existence. With the way Will Ferrell is reaching Ben Stiller levels of oversaturation, by the time ANCHORMAN II actually gets made, his career may be riding on it and the whole thing could be drenched in flop sweat.

I don't understand the love for this film. I am neither a Will Ferrell hater or a Apatow team hater, but this film was nothing more than a series of strung together jokes involving one-dimensional characters. I thought the best part was the anchor team gang war and there were definitely other jokes that made me laugh, but not enough to love this film. 40-year old virgin was much funnier and much better. Hell, Dodgeball was much better than this.
Talladega Nights is awful

With all due respect hst666, you're obviously insane.

Comedy is obviously such a subjective kinda thing. Ive never had any luck attempting to convince Anchorman haters of its brilliance. You either dig it or you don't.>p> I may be one of three people on the planet who liked Dewey Cox and Semi-Pro :(

Talladega Nights is "awful"?

Without sounding like a snob, I can't imagine a "hick" getting most of the jokes in that film. I know next to nothing about Nascar and thought Talladega was pretty bloody terrific. And just like Anchorman, Ferrell is backed by a great cast.

May I be so bold to say you know absolutely NOTHING about what constitutes good comedic writing?

Anchorman SUCKED!

Its just the funniest movie ever made. Endlessly re watchable, every nuance and extra are note-prefect. Cameos are understated, its excellent.

Love it. I can see why people don't (it's scattershot and very skit-like), but Brick... Luke Wilson... Public Access... Policia... Sex Panther - when it scores, it scores BIG.

You hit the nail on the head. Parts of it were funny, but came across as a loosely connected series of sketches.

Aye. Personally, I loved that. Harked back to the days of Naked Gun, where they threw so much at the screen that SOME of it stuck. Were there sucky parts? Yes, Ferrell and McKay wrote a LOT of lines that were mildly amusing and witty but not particularly funny... Ferrell spent a LOT of time trying to top everyone else, and it didn't succeed... and Jack Black's cameo was ill-concieved.

They may be trying to make a quick buck (hardly necessary since pretty much anything done by Either Farrel or this writer has generated piles of cash), but the fact that you would use the descriptor "fucking faggots" to describe them says a lot more about you than it does about them. If you're not interested in seeing this film that's fine, but why don't you develop a little bit of sophistication and evolve beyond junior high school bigotry. Usually people who speak that way are closet cases, and in any event such language paints you as a narrow minded slim witted ape. Grow up. Show a little class, and try to formulate an intelligent or eloquent statement.

I'll be happy to provide the landmine or throw you from the chrysler building if you need a push if it will keep you from whining about movies that haven't been made yet. As for your fantasy of being violated by a bear or farm equipment you're on your own, I'm sure you have the required lingerie. If some of you guys who are bitching about this sequel were half as clever as you think you are, maybe you'd be giving Will Ferrel some competition by doing something creative instead of sitting here complaining about how awful everything is. Anybody who judges a film that hasn't even been shot yet is an asshole plain and simple. Everybody thought Heath Ledger would be a lousy Joker, and while I wasn't convinced one way or the other I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut and wait and see. Most people thought Bryan Singer directing a Superman film was a great idea, but I wasn't convinced, again, I didn't rain on anybody's parade. Some sequels do in fact surpass the original. The Dark Knight, Wrath of Khan, Empire Strikes Back etc. Be skeptical all you want, but stop judging things that don't exist yet. If you don't wanna' see Anchorman 2 good for you. I thought the first one was pretty funny, and if the second gets chuckles out of my friends I'll probably pick up a used copy from Blockbuster. Stop taking movies as personal attacks on you.
