Looks like another good one:

My fav line...

Reporter: So how'd you learn how to play basketball?
Moon: I saw it a couple times on a TV and said to myself. I can do that!

Love the judo chop he used on the bear.

I love the Milbury inspired beating a guy with a shoe but the best line was, "they love the tender meat!"

ricoFlame · 12-20-2007, 10:37 AM

more of the same from will ferrell. he does what he does well, but it's getting boring.

Agreed!

I think i'll pass on this one. The same ol from Ferrel is getting a tad old.

Agreed. Some his movies are totally interchangeable, his shtick needs a re-toodeling.

Will Ferrel has never been funny.. except on SNL. I really don't understand his popularity.

Sandler has his moments... Snoring on the heater in Little Nicky. Scrapping Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore, ummm... There are others... Uh, .... Oh forget it.

Exactly. And people look at me like I just insulted their mother when I tell thim that I don't think Adam Sandler is funny at all when he does his stupid voices.

Yah, I have to go with Ferrell over Sandler. Anchorman was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.

ricoFlame · 12-20-2007, 02:52 PM

i'm a sandler guy. nice how this thread morphed into this convo.

4X4 · 12-20-2007, 02:56 PM

I'll give credit to Talladega Nights. That baby jesus thing was pretty funny. But I find that these so called "comedys" are a one time view only. You'll laugh a bit and remember the movie to be decent. But you ever watch it again and you suddenly want to take back all the times you told someone it was good.

But I'd watch any Will Ferrel flick 100x consecutively if it got me out of ever seeing that abortion of a movie Borat again.

Russic · 12-20-2007, 03:40 PM

I'm in. I'm not bored of farrel yet. I don't blame those who are because it is really the same old thing, but I'm still a fan.

I concur. I've watched that movie almost 30 times (5 times in theater).

This new one looks good as well. Looking forward to it.

CaptainCrunch · 12-20-2007, 03:59 PM

I just don't find Farrell to be funny at all, he does the same stuff over and over and plays the same character over and over.

I'm actually really bored with him.

Anchorman was a funny movie, but it was funny because of his co-stars not Ferrell who's character made me want to shoot myself in the head repeatedly with a nail gun.

Steve Carroll was the best part of that movie.

Andre 2000 (Outkast) is in this movie.
