This was not nominated for Best Picture. Should it have been? Discuss.

Over some of the shit that was nominated? Absolutley.

Not the biggest fan of the Kong remake, but I’m still with T Dizzle. People are falling all over themselves about how these nominations for the Oscar are “daring” or whatever, but that’s b.s. It’s everybody out there patting themselves on the back as usual. I think it just really communicates how bereft of creativity and imagination and interesting ideas the American film industry really is.
Then again, I thought “Anchorman” should’ve been nominated last year, so take my opinion with a grain.

Anchorman should be nominated EVERY year.
Just because you’re gay doesn’t make you daring. Especially if you’re directed by the same hack fuck that directed the Hulk (no offense Tam).

I thought Anchorman was pretty bad, and I love Will Ferrell. But yeah, I thought Kong should’ve been nominated, and I really don’t know how Revenge of the Sith wasn’t nominated for Best Visual Effects. The beginning and ending were amazing.

Anchorman = possibly the greatest comedy ever. It really is a shame the Academy doesn’t see fit to include comedies in their best picture category.
I love lamp.

Dan — Were you a fan of Dodgeball? A friend of mine stated drunkenly the other day that the world could be divided into two kinds of people: those who liked Anchorman, and those who liked Dodgeball. And the people who like Dodgeball are wrong.

If liking Dodgeball is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. Wait, I mean…oh whatever.

Anchorman is so not funny. Watch it again. It has its moments, but overall it was just a vehicle for Will Ferrell and his unfunny (with the exception being Steve Carrell) costars.

Heh - I have both Dodgeball and Anchorman on DVD. Dodgeball is to Anchorman like Milwaukee’s Best is to Anchor Steam. You drink it every day, you’ll always have the runs, but in a pinch, it does it’s job. Or some other, better comparison…

Daniel, I’ve watched Anchorman some 30 odd times. It gets better each time.
And Paul Rudd is fucking magical in that movie.
February 28th, 2006 at 6:11 am
Yeah, Dodgeball definitely has its moments. Anchorman is amazing, though. I’ve seen it a few times at this point and it holds up.

Did you honestly think the jazz flute scene was funny? I didn’t even smile! Funny moments: “whale’s vagina,” “I’m kind of a big deal,” and the crazy fight scene. Otherwise, I dunno, it just didn’t seem to gel for me. The trailer with Burgundy drinking during the newscast was hysterical (”We’re on? …I don’t believe you.”) — but then they went ahead and cut it all up for the opening credits and ruined it. Who directed it?

Dan it was directed by Adam McKay, former SNL writer.
The jazz flute scene was not as funny as the rest of the movie, but you make it sound obscenely bad. The cartoon scene is a tad lame. The rest of the movie is pure magic.
“Brick, I thought you said this was a short cut.”
“FAN-tastic!”
I didvide the world like andrew, but it’s people who like Anchorman and people who like mee the arents.
That movie was crap.

Well Adam McKay should stick to writing! J/K…I enjoyed it the first time I saw it in the theaters, but upon second viewing it didn’t hold up. It just seemed very, very forced. I’ll pay it a revisit though.
My favorite Will Ferrell thing ever is the insane boss sketch from “The Best of Will Ferrell SNL Vol. 2.” Amazing.
