Has Brendan Fraser gone off the deep end?
Seriously? |
Well,it's good to know the man who starred in such modern classics as Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and The Mummy Returns hasn't abandoned quality control.
|
lol, yeah I know... his track record isn't exactly the greatest. But really? Selling your soul with a anamorphic animals movie?
|
My 11 year old brother doesn't even want to see that movie. He thinks it's stupid, which it is!
|
Meanwhile, Anchorman 2 gets denied by Paramount... :(
|
He has hit a new low that can only be reviled by Eddie Murphy and that god awful Doolittle series.
|
wow
the 4 chan crowd is going to have a field day with this shit i bet |
wait wait wait... Brendan Fraser had some form of critical recognition?
this guy? the one on the left, who got his 'big' break by proving to the world that yes, it was possible for someone to act even dumber than Pauly Shore buuuuuuudddddy http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9WXHlferjb...ncino_man2.jpg this crap movie has all the markings of a big paycheck for the stars. integrity only matters when you're hungry, and by the looks of him in that trailer, dude hasn't been hungry in a while. |
And picture this: he is making more money than (probably) any of us will make in our entire lifetime to star in this.

anchorman 2 does not need to be made

^ exactly. Will Farrell is not and has never actually been funny.

that's exactly it. why is that line even remotely funny? it has little to do with Farrell and everything to do with either the environment or the entourage around him.
put his movies on mute and try focusing on what he does. oh look it's the awkward face 'not' directly staring at the camera. that couldn't possibly be the subliminal trigger that tells people this is supposed to be funny. at least Mike Myers acknowledged and played up to the fact that SNL prepares pretty much all comedians since their original crew the same way (stare at the crowd and wait for the laughs). Farrell just got lucky. oh! awkward boner! HILARITY |
I don't analyze comedy. I either laugh at it or I don't.
|
yeah i didn't listen when one of our teacher's told us that we would never be able to watch movies the same way again before starting into a session on critical viewing. she was right haha

I don't think it's fair that you're dismissing techniques for making people laugh and ignoring the laughing people. |
that's not what i'm saying. what i'm saying is Will Farrell is not funny, the people and situations (the ones that aren't forced by his behavior) around him are, but he is not.
the funniest thing i saw him associated with was that Landlord clip. he didn't actually need to be in that clip for it to be hilarious (the little girl wins) but HE doesn't seem to actually add anything to a scene. Anchorman was painful to watch, maybe it's because i actually like Eric Dolphy's music and took offense to his treatment of it for a cheap laugh early on, but i didn't find anything else in that movie to be anything besides mind numbing. |

While I respect your opinion of a certain person being or not being funny... I think most people can agree that we don't watch comedy movies and disregard everything but a single actor and what he does or does not do. I just think your argument would be better suited if you were critiquing a solo stand-up act by said actor. |
Here's the thing. I don't even know if I would want a sequel, because sequels are usually crap and diminish the value of the original. And I think Anchorman is basically pretty much the greatest film ever made. So I don't want to have to lower my standards for a reboot. Even if it's a great comedy, I'm sure I'll be disappointed.
How could it be bad though? The only guys you have to bring back is the news team, and each of those guys still have game. It's really a "dream team" of a cast, what with Ferrell headlining with Carell and Rudd. Will Ferrell is funny though. It's like... a fact. Because people laugh at what he does, and he has done many different things that people have laughed at. How can every single laugh be a result of "his environment and the people around him" and not his own actions? That's just ridiculous. And f you think Anchorman is not an extremely popular movie amongst my generation you are terribly mistaken. It's a cult classic that would draw significant attention if a sequel were to be made.
