ok, I was loving this movie just for the trailers, but after seeing it now, I can safely say that this is the funniest movie of the year. and its one of the best comedies ever too.

will ferrell is a monster as Ron Burgundy with enough jokes and situations to make you laugh during all the movie :funny:

but then you also have the supporting cast, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and specially Steven Carell, he's a genius. 100 times funnier than in Bruce Almighty :rockman:

and then of course all the cameos which I wont spoil for now cause there are so many and its always funny :bob:

all the scenes with Ron Burgundy doing the news are excellent and all the scenes with Carrell too.
he was the best of the supporting characters but still not enough to beat Will Ferrell. Ron Burgundy is trully a legend.

ANCHORMAN IS THE FUNNIEST FILM OF THE YEAR AND ONE OF THE TOP 10 EVER

http://www.christina-applegate.net/movies/anchorman2004/pictures/anchorman01.jpg



Spoilers and cameos below...























- Jack Black's scene kicking the dog is awesome. I coudlnt stop laughing. when he ask's ron what are his favorite things I knew something with the dog coming up but I never thought he was going to kick him down the bridge :rofl:

- the battle of the network scene is a classic. :rofl: all the guys coming in for the different teams: vince vaughn, ben stiller, luke wilson and tim robins who was funny but Im thinking that something happened to Owen Wilson and they called tim cause really Owen was the only one missing.
and watch for Carrell's character during the battle. he gets the best kills: a trident??? rofl: and then the grenade :rofl:

Sounds good, I'll put it on my To watch list :)

He did a little mini segment with ESPN yesterday. I nearly pissed myself when I saw it.

I'll probably go and see this movie next week or something.

I forgot to say, there are a lot of scenes they cut that are on the trailer and not in the movie.
I read they already have planned like a 4 hours cut of the movie (Y)

Me too :funny:

the Espn(or should i say Espen) skit was hilarious

OOHH i forgot about that one :rofl:

Will Ferrel is one of the funniest people in the world. I have never seen him do bad in a movie. I thought the Trailer was pretty funny but I wasn't sure. Now that I hear from other people it's funny i will probably go and see it.

the ESPN skit was hilarious... he just throws the stool on the desk and runs away :D gotta see this movie :rockman:

:rockman:

I'm defenitely going to go see it when it's released over in Europe (probably 2040:p) it looks great.
I loved the skit they did for the MTV Movie Awards 2004 with Jim Caviezel, that was ace!

I've been anticipating this flick since I saw the trailer back in may or something. This will definitely be the best movie of the summer, man. I guarantee it!

Hakeem, I saw this movie last night and I agree with you 100%

I loved it

atleast 2 or 3 laughs per minute.

Great supporting cast and Will Ferrel was brilliant.

Great Cameos aswell

10/10 :rockman:

i just got back from the theatre and it was pretty good. the dog part was hilarious, amazing cameos too. i give it an 8/10.

A friend of mine said it was one of the dumbest movies he's ever seen. :|

:kader:

A friend of mine said it was one of the dumbest movies he's ever seen.

I haven't seen it but I agree (Y)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I saw it was really good but I still rate Dodgeball higher I mean any movie with a pirate is ace.

On a seperate note when did Christina Applegate become so ugly. Age hit her like a ton of bricks. I mean there were times in the movie I thought her face had been badly burned or something.

thats exactly why I think the movie was so good. It wasnt stupid comedy like Dumb and Dumber or Dude, Where's my car?.
this one actually felt like a normal comedy but with nonstop laughs :rofl:
plus the idea of it being a real biography makes it even better :funny: (Y)

You see I loved Dodgeball for the bit of randomness it brought. You couldn't see what was going to happen next alot of the time. Anchorman I thought was bit too predictable on the delivery of jokes. I still score Anchorman high up there though I mean I will go see it again before I see any of the crap I saw in the previews.

if you ever compare a masterpiece like Dumb and Dumber with a sack of **** like Dude, Where's My Car (or Dude, Where's My Pistol So I Could Shoot My Self In The ******* Head), I'll kill you :(

Funniest ass movie that I have seen since Bruce Almighty, oh man what a genius Ferell is unbelieveable, Brick is the ****. In conclusion this movie = lots of :funny: :funny: :funny:

Girl leaves brief-case.

Dude finds brief-case.

Girl goes half-way cross country.

Dude has no car.

Dude has friend.

Dude's friend has car.

Kidnappers chase dude for briefcase.

Dudes get half-way cross country.

Dudes battle for girl.

Kidnappers try to kill dudes.

Dudes are unkillable.

Girl is already married... :(

Bus comes.

Bus has hot chicks.

Hot chicks need massages before shows.

Dudes deny.

Dudes walk down road.

That it the ******* BEST PLOT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(H)

Dumb and Dumber > Every movie except Goodfellas, The Godfather, and Scarface. (H)

hope this is shown in the major cinemas in london cus a lot of films i want to see are on at the smaller ones and only on for a week over here

like eurotrip

ok. Im going crazy over this movie. Ive seen it twice in 4 days :| :p

Dodgeball was way funnier. This had about 10 funny ass scenes but most of the stuff I could go without laughing but I was in a good mood so I did laugh a lot...

Anchorman was way better than Dodgeball. But still not as good as Old School.

"Man, its hot. Getting milk was a mistake."

"where did you get that hand granade?"

"i don't know"


the fight scene was the funniest thing i've seen in a while. we had people in the theater falling out of their chairs. and when ben stiller yelled "POLICIA" the whole theater almost died laughing. it was a wierd movie to me, kind of like a comedy that doesn't care if its funny or not, its just there, and if you like stupid sensless humor go watch it. i loved it.

I just saw it today.

It sucked.

Dodgeball was wayy funnier and comparing it to Old School is just an insult to Old School.


the only thing funny about the movie was Steve Carell.

San Diego is german for Whales Vagina.

You know most of that movie is improv. Will Ferrel is a genius.

I thought Dodgeball was fun yeah, but I dont know why I dont loved it. actually, right now if I think about it the only really funny scene I remember is when the big black guy comes to pick up Ben Stiller in the scooter :rofl: but besides that scene, the rest wasnt all that good for me :(
I think my main problem with the movie is that Vince Vaughn good here. dont know why. he didnt seem to like what he was doing.

and comparing it to Anchorman, I cant stop quoting Ron Burgundy. or laughing by myself while remembering all the scenes with Steve Carrell :rofl:

and Old School, its awesome, better that Dodgeball IMO but since Anchorman is only one week old, and I loved it so much, im going with Anchorman for now.
Ill have to wait till anchorman comes on cable and they start showing it everyday. I know I watch Old School every time they show it so Ill really compare them then :p

and hey, I love that everybody has different taste in movies. SUPER-DUPER! (Y)

YAY

It's one of those DVD movies you should borrow from a friend or get it cheap. Or you could download it...

It's decent, but it's not that funny.
Personally, I don't think it's worth the trip to go to the cinema for this one.

brilliant movie.....

funniest moments:

1- POLICIA :D

2- go f**k urself san diego

3- the kick of the dog

4- when Burgundy cries on the phone LOL

5- the Bear talking to the dog

6- when steve carell at the end sleeps with the bear and it says

that he ended up as a political advisor for G.W.Bush hahahaha

shez

I laughed my ass off at the retard weather man. :D

He was pretty damn funny.

Other memorable scenes:

Whales Vagina (H)

"You've got a massive erection"

All the cameos

**************

Parts I didn't like -

The dog talking to the bear

The flute scene

I say Dodgeball < Anchorman <<<< Old School < Dumb and Dumber

Doesn't compare to Old School or Dunb and Dumber

this movie is sooo funny and cool i wanna c it agian but i think that white chicks was funnier

meh, funny movie, but some of you took it too far saying you laughed through the whole movie... some parts were extremely sad... like every scene which involved Christina Applegate talking, or any scene with that guy (not Ron, not Rick, not Champ, but the other ****in idiot who ruined the entire movie) talking...

Steve Carrell is a ******* god amongst men in this movie... everything he did was brilliant, and how he did it (Y)

not a bad movie, but not the best... 3/5

yea i agree dodgeball was a good movie also

Ya, i saw this movie opening night. Have been counting down the days of its release since way back in January. And i wasnt dissapointed in the slightest. A truly epic film. my only quips with it are that half the jokes from trailers werent in movie. I also wish Owen Wilson played the character of Tim Robbins and Ben Stillers amazing latino character had some lines. But some GREAT news to all those who loved film as much as me.

The director said they had over 4 hrs of cut material. He said that with the movies DVD release, hell have a seperate movie called 'wake up: Ron burgundy' featuring all the scenes which were cut.

Now im counting down the days til the DVD release, which im guessing will be early November.

Ya, about Dodgeball, i didnt have the highest expectations, and i was actually quite surprised with how funny it was. Unfortunately, the NONE of the characters on Vince Vaughns team were funny AT ALL. the tall skinny guy, black guy (BRUTAL), awkward teenager were all just plain unfunny. the nervous guy with glasses (stapler guy from Office space) was decent. Vince Vaughn played the 'straight character' well, but it was a waste of his comedic talents. and Rip torn, old guy on wheelchair, i couldnt stand him. The announcers were alright, but really they couldve done SO MUCH more with that idea. The worst part of this movie was its casting. Ben Stiller/Vaughn were no brainers, but other than that, pretty awful job.

Funny parts:

- Hank Azarria as young hoops o'hallohan
- referee yelling 'Dodgeball!!'
- Ben Stiller was amazing throughout
- Chuck Norris and David Hasselhoff made this movie great
- the idea of dodgeball tournament
- espn 8
- the whole dodgeball tournament
- the portrait in stillers office (him wrestling bull)
- the end in credits "******* Chuck Norris"

Overall 7.5/10. This movie couldve been easily a 10 if it was made better, and the average joes roster wasnt so painfully unfunny. Again, that black guy was just plain brutal.

my god, i saw this movie on the weekend, it is hilarious...the guy that plays brick had me in tears with the things he said......it's a must watch for everyone.....i think old school was still better......but this is up there with comedy of the year:rockman: :rockman:

Wow, both movies were dissappointments. I didn't laugh at all and I got uncomfortable everytime my little brother laughed (9 years old) and noone else laughed. I was like, "Dude, that's not funny." :rolleyes: I was like the only person who Armstrong was before he introduced himself. :| The most entertaining movie this month has been F9/11 and that says a lot.

-brick, where'd u get that gernade???

- i...don't know





AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



lol, he made the movie


:Bow: Brick

Just got the news today. Some bittersweet news i guess.

Anchorman will come out on DVD on December 28. Most movies come out quicker than this (spider-man 2 came out a week before, and is on DVD early November). This could mean theyre spending more time on the extras, so thats a good news. Its worth the wait, but still, come on.

damn thats some bad news, but that means i can get it for my bday

but i just saw it a couple days ago and its safe to say i wasnt let down. people were saying its better than old school but i think there about the same. burgundy was brilliant, brick made the movie in my mind, so much more, its safe to say ill be seeing it again.

another good part is when everyone is yelling in the office and brick says
- I DONT KNOW WHAT WERE YELLING ABOUT
then he says
-LOUD NOISES
and then
-i read somewhere that there periods attract bears...bears they can smell the menstration

i was almost on the floor

Just bought the "gift set" yesterday, this is the funniest movie since 'Old School' and i think it deserves its own thread.

One thing id like to say, to me, the best part of the movie was all the confrontations between Burgundy and other news teams (Vince Vaughn as 'Wes Mantooth'), all climaxing at the big 'gangs of new york' type fight scene, possibly the greatest scene of all time. I think a movie all based on that would be an amazing idea if they made a sequel.

My one problem with the movie was that Owen Wilson wasnt involved somewhere. The character of Tim Robbins (who is out of place in this film with this cast) wouldve been perfect for Wilson. My other problem was all the scenes left out in theatre version, but there on the bonus disc so thats settled.

totally agree, funniest movie of the year. and these were my comments after seeing it:

I really thought this is one of the best comedies ever.
I cant wait to see all those scenes again. the dog, the battle of the networks, the jazz flute, and so much more.

ANCHORMAN IS THE FUNNIEST FILM OF THE YEAR AND ONE OF THE TOP 10 EVER

the Battle of the Networks scene is one of the funniest scenes (if not the funniest) in cinematic history




edit: and yeah, Owen Wilson instead of Tim Robbins would've been the top of the iceberg since already got Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Jack Black :D

Just watched 'Wake Up Ron Burgundy'. Much better and different than i thought. I pictured it just being a huge collection of deleted scenes, but instead it was actually a different storyline altogether, more like a "sequel" than anything. Some genuine great moments in this movie. If they cleaned it up a bit, they couldve released this in theatres as a sequel.

The crazy thing is that, even though they released the original movie as an Extended edition, than made Wake Up ron burgundy, they still have a LOT of deleted scenes on the disc. For a comedy, this is the greatest DVD ever released, with all the features, and ive yet to listen to the commentary either.

And Hakeem tell me whats on that 3rd disc you got, im really pissed mine didnt come with one.

Its a shame most people wont even see this as theyd prob just buy the standard DVD instead of the 2 disc set. Really, i see no reason why they couldnt have just made one 2 disc edition instead of releasing numerous versions, a lot of movies do that anyway. the obvious reason would be to make more money, but i dont think thats the only reason.

My only problems with this DVD set were that they didnt provide any deleted scenes/bloopers/additional footage for the best scene (networks battle). And that the 'wake up' movie didnt have a scene selection option, which for a comedy is sorely missed.

Cant wait for 'Talladega Nights', coming out in 2006. Like Anchorman, Will Ferrell and Adam Mackay are writing and Mackay is directing.

Im going to try to watch some of the extras today and Ill you know about that 3rd disc :)

ok, just watched the Best Buy Exclusive 3rd Disc and it contains 4 featurettes:

1- Today's Headlines: all of these are extended versions (not shown in the Disc 1 extras) of various scenes. there's a few new scenes though like one of Veronica Corningstone going out on a date with a guy.

2- Special Report: these are different takes of the scene with Champ Kind talking about how he ****ted a squirrell :p and different takes of the scene when Ron insults San diego.

3- Commercial Break: its a behind the cameras, kinda short actually (maybe 3 minutes) where we have Brian Fantana walking around the sets in his underwear :p
there's also a behind the camera with Luke Wilson getting ready his arm that is going to be cut off. Will Ferrell and Tim Robbins (both in character) are close by laughing at him :p

4- Ron Burgundy Exclusive: Bill Kurtis (the narrator)conducts an interview, in character, with Ron Burgundy, Veronica Corningstone and Brian Fantana, about journalism and their personal lives.


I havent seen the second disc so I dont know if these are repeated or not but they're definetly NOT in the first disc extras so Im guessing they're really exclusive stuff :D

WTF!?!?

Its not on 2nd disc either, i feel jipped.

:f***:

I found this on another site, talking about gift set...

This 2 DVD Limited Edition Gift Set includes the never-before-seen full-length feature film Wake-Up Ron Burgundy and the Widescreen Extended Edition of Anchorman, plus exclusive bonus features and a collectible premium item (Ron Burgundy's Month to View Journal).

EDIT: I found out the third disc was only released exclusively to Best Buy stores:(.

I saw some of it last night, actually really early today after the ball dropped, really funny, i'm gonna have to see the whole thing.

thats what I said :| :p

I was hoping you were either wrong or that the footage was already on disc 2.

Have you watched 'wake up' yet, what do you think?

nope, not yet. had to watch the Garden State extras first yesterday and then I didnt have time to watch disc 2. maybe today or tomorrow.

Owen Wilson instead of Tim Robbins?? what have ya been smoking man? I want some :p

All those guys do movies together (Jack Black, Vince Vaugh, Luke Wilson, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell), and all of them were in the movie except Owen, so naturally.....

Great comedy!! I loved this movie!

Will Ferrell is a comedic genius!!

U KILLED BAXTER!!!!!!

What!?!?! There is a 2-disc version? God dammit! I'm gonna have to return mine to Best Buy, because I bought one that was a single disc and then it had the bonus Best Buy disc. How did I miss the 2-disc version? :( :( :(

This movie was so f*cking hilarious, the part with the black panther perfume or whatever its called (saw it a long time ago when it came out in theaters), and then Ferrel goes "it smells like gasoline" holy s*it what a funny ass movie....

I don't think it was that good... okay at most IMO, i believe Meet the Fockers was better.

I got the Anchorman DVD and it has
1) the movie itself
2) the new storyline (version 1.2)
3) the exclusive third disc.

I wish they did this with all the movies released on DVD :(

you bought it at Best Buy?

this movie was average at best, extremely cheesy

Originally posted by Hakeem
you bought it at Best Buy? Yeah.

Ya, i called Best Buy, the third disc is only sold is the US Best Buy stores:(

Just finished watching Anchorman and ultimately I have to say I'm a little disapointed. From the comments I read I thought it would have been a lot funnier than it was. Don't get me wrong, I was laughing out loud quite a few times but just not as much as I expected.
I also noticed that an aweful lot of (really good) scenes were cut from the movie (I got the DVD rental version) that should have stayed in the movie. Maybe the Director's cut DVD Special Edition (if there is such a thing) would be better.
It also featured some great cameos. Jack Black, Tim Robbins, Vince Vaughan, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, great stuff!
Overall, very funny. But not as funny as I expected it to be.

Also, the "Afternoon Delight" song is awesome, love it!
I noticed that Rob Machado (pro surfer) is in the Afternoon Delight music video for some strange reason, he plays the bass. Is he a friend of Will's or what?

This is him.
http://www.surfrider.org/20th/photos/images/Rob_Machado_jpg.jpg

the parts you missed are either in the deleted scenes or are on the second movie 'wake up ron burgundy', which is only available in 'gift set'.

It is a funny movie, its just not as funny as old school though. That movie is legendary (H)

I only brought the normal DVD release over here, I got a bunch of free postcards with it :(

well, its hard to compare any comedy to Old School.

Itd be like going into every Al Pacino movie looking for something better or equal to the Godfather.

and if you combine the laughs from the second bonus anchorman movie, youve got a lot of laughs. the scene where the 4 of them are in car and Champ is professing his love to Burgundy, and everyone is ignoring Champ. Brilliance (Y).

He Punted Baxter!!!!!!!!!!!
