Before I get carried away, yes I saw Quantum of Solace, TWICE!!! I saw it opening night, which was Friday, then a few days later on Monday. It was badass and better the second time. Twilight is still on my list. I was also accused today of being an uncool High School Musical watcher. That's not true! I only saw the first one! Fuck you Lauren! You watch Corner Gas and think that's good! And Gossip Girl is awesome! Fuck you Lauren! You hurt my feelings.... anyway.... ahem....
ANCHORMAN mother fuckers!
Okay, the first time I saw this movie, I didn't like it, at all. Let me explain why. I was at this school event called Fast Blast, we fasted for Africa, 30 hours without food, it was fun, we stayed the night at the high school, which became our playground. In the library, where the girls stayed, all cozy and warm, we put on Anchorman for entertainment, which it wasn't because we were all too hopped up on caffine, to many people to entertain me already, and to much potential fun to be had. I got through 20 minutes before declaring it retarded.
What one needs to know before watching Anchorman:
- pay full attention, the entire movie consists of quotable lines.
- don;t be on a sugar high, though it helps to be slightly tired so things become more funny
- disregard the fact you see gross 70's chest hair a fair amount of times
- pretend for 1 hour and 36 minutes that Ron Burgandy is not Will Farrell.
Okay, let's begin.
It was fucking hilarious. I did all of the above, which made it better. The only reason I even gave this a second shot was because a guy I know kept quoting the film the other day and it made me laugh. This thing truely is a gem as far as funny lines go.
The forced action was retarded though, like the news anchor fight in a back lot. What.The.Fuck.
Clearly the best part was the news team itself. I hated Christina Applegate's character, she was annoying and bitchy, but the guys, together, reminded me a lot of the comedy created among the crew in Employee of the Month. Priceless.
Brick, played by what's his face from the Office was PHENOMENAL! Everything he said was gold. He plays a slightly retarded guy on the team, the weather man, and never understands the situation. At the end, in the bear pit, everyone is fighting bears off them and he is riding one like a horse, then he cuddles with it later on. The best line in the whole movie was when the news team is complaining about this new girl taking their air time and yelling at their boss and Brick just stands up and screams "LOUD NOISES!" just to be heard. Did I ever laugh! That was an amazing scene.
Anyway, you want the quotable movie of the decade, that's the one. Give it a shot, or two, if you're like me, and see how it turns out and what you remember.
I am tired right now, so I can't remember dick, but yeah, check that shit out.
