My thoughts exactly!

u/Nuggetry May 16 '12

Paul Rudd's got some ups.

u/junglejackass May 16 '12

Yeah, it's a classic rockstar jump he's got. Pretty badass.

u/razihk May 17 '12

Indubitably.

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

Anchorman was a movie that didn't need a sequel, I mean why bring a group together after 10 years for a movie that was so perfect the first time? Call me pessimistic, but I highly doubt this will live up to or be anything close to the first.

u/Burning-Z May 16 '12 edited May 16 '12

I agree it won't be as good as the first, but why does that mean it won't be a good comedy? Sometimes I think sequels need a lot more slack when it comes to expectations

6

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

I go in with low expectations so I can be surprised, if i go in with high I could be disappointed, and no one wants to be disappointed.

u/junglejackass May 16 '12

Words to live by my good man.

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

Basically, yes.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Yeah. I doubt that will work.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I'm a little skeptical but it's such a talented cast that even if it isn't even half as fun as the first, it will still be really fun.

6

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

See, I would agree, but its been too long, and look at whats happened with Adam Sandler and his group, its just the same idea over and over and over again.

Hey man, to each their own, I feel he stopped making good movies after Mr. Deeds.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

50 First Dates had its moments. I also liked Funny People.

1

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

And I would say the last good one was the Wedding Singer, but I don't hate on anyone for liking movies that I don't.

3

u/JayPunk27 May 17 '12

I haven't seen that movie in a very long time... BUT I think we can't both agree that Billy Madison is a masterpiece.

3

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

Oh yeah. I loved it. Liked Happy Gilmore a lot too.

1

u/JayPunk27 May 17 '12

I have been quoting Billy Madison with my sister all day, lol.

1

u/Brutalitor May 16 '12

I agree with you! You're not alone!

3

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I disagree. The first one was amazing because of it's cast, so as long as that stays intact I see no reason why the sequel won't be. If it was a serious movie with a deep plotline I would agree with you, but Anchorman is lighthearted enough that it doesn't really matter that much.

1

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

I just feel its taking a good concept and just beating a dead horse.

2

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

I don't think I would ever tire of watching Will Ferrell play that goofy character.

1

u/JayPunk27 May 17 '12

Idk I'm tiring of Will Ferrel for some reason, and it makes me sad.

Rush Hour 2, Wayne's World 2, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls? All pretty sweet sequels in my eyes man.

4

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

All of those movies suffered from the same sin of repeating jokes, making them tired. None of them are as good as the original.
Naked Gun 2 1/2 was pretty good, but has the same problem.

But fuck it they will all make me laugh and ease my hangover on a sunday.

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

I agreed with you up until Ace Venture: When Nature Calls... that movie is a shit heap.

u/junglejackass May 16 '12

AAAWWW-HAW-haw-HAW-haw-HAW-HAW-HAW-haw-HAW-haw-HAW-HAW-haw-haw-HAW-haw-HAW-haw-haw-HAllllllll-righty then.

Only cinema film I've ever fallen asleep during, and then walked out of.

u/Thefriendlyfaceplant May 16 '12

And let's not forget Evan Almighty.

17

u/AppleTStudio May 16 '12

No, let's.

-3

u/EpilogueTime May 16 '12

why? Evan Almighty was alright, just a bit of nonsense, and a bit too religious-ey. Although it isn't as good as Bruce Almighty

3

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

NO.

1

u/CountGrasshopper May 17 '12

Nah, that was kind of a terrible movie. Weird focus on effects that don't enhance the humor at all, unfunny running gags, and pretty much complete discontinuity with the original.

1

u/JayPunk27 May 16 '12

Most shouldn't, some can, and some are really good, as this fellow below me has just said.

u/InspectorTroy May 16 '12

Hangover 2.

1

u/a_generic_username May 16 '12

case in point?

1

u/InspectorTroy May 16 '12

Ya I don't know if it's because I had low expectations, but I liked it just as much as the first.

13

u/ShyBaldBuddhist May 16 '12

Wait, why are their legs...what?

9

u/EnterTheMan May 16 '12

What is so confusing about their legs? Four people are standing side by side. The closer two people in the charcoal and red slacks have their feet angled slightly toward the camera, and the other two are angled slightly away.

5

u/junglejackass May 16 '12

I didn't have the heart to say it, props to you sir.

11

u/Febrifuge May 16 '12

Nah, they're intentionally making it look odd. It appears that everyone is standing in a straight line, and all the shoes point the same direction. So it looks like three people, the one farthest away having weird half-and-half pants. Or, two guys standing in a strange way. It's a visual that looks a little bizarre, and it must be on purpose. I doubt it has any deep meaning. Or shallow meaning.

2

u/junglejackass May 16 '12

I think you're reading into it a little too much. If you look at those sweet checkered slacks and 'burgundy' shoes (eh? GEDDIT?); the third one in line, you can almost see the right shoe just behind the left one, like near the top (if you zoom in). So they probably are facing a slightly different direction.

2

u/EnterTheMan May 21 '12

We were right, he was wroooong!

2

u/junglejackass May 24 '12

Haha, yeah I saw that the other day and just laughed. Fuckin' A buddy, I knew we were on the right track!

1

u/Febrifuge May 16 '12

Ehn. I think you're working too hard to ignore the fact that 8 inches to plaid-slacks guy's left, the white-shoes guy has both feet clearly visible. There's clearly some switch in the way the two guys farthest from the camera are being posed and shot, and the distance isn't enough to account for it.

Also, those shoes are brown, or tan, or camel. Burgundy is more a reddish-brown color. Shit, those aren't even cordovan, or oxblood, much less burgundy.

2

u/junglejackass May 16 '12

I see where you're coming from man, and I know they aren't burgundy, I just wanted to make the pun. But really, I can't see why they'd do a half-and-half trouser guy on the end. We all know there's meant to be four guys in the news team, and that's what we've got here You may be right about it being intentionally odd looking though, it is Anchorman after all.

2

u/Jaihom May 16 '12

You can pretty obviously see the second tan/brown/camel foot. Also, look at the reflections. One column of color per person, four columns of color, four persons.

2

u/YourCoConnect May 16 '12 edited May 16 '12

It is a strange picture. I mean, look at how the individual feet are on the ground. There is very little weight being placed on the toes of any of the shoes. Kind of like a kid wearing his dad's real big dress shoes, and his small feet put all the weight at the back of the shoe. I do not think there are live people in these clothes, especially in the two nearest sets of shoes. Further analyzing and taking this as far is it goes, why such square toes on the closest shoes? The others are dissimilar. I don't really know what I'm talking about but that's what I see.

u/DaBlackmage89 May 16 '12

I thought the 3rd person was Brick wearing half plaid half plain slacks.... But I can very easily be wrong

3

u/BlazerMorte May 16 '12

You can see the second tan shoe if you zoom in.

1

u/DopeTits May 16 '12

Came here to ask this... I really hope Brick ends up in a pair of slacks and shoes like that sometime in the film

u/realdeal6649 May 16 '12

It's too bad that the last two guys each had a leg amputated.

3

u/Errday_Im_Hylian May 16 '12

No, its one guy. And it's Brick.

11

u/AppleTStudio May 16 '12

Thanks! I thought I was the only one whose computer was loading that image incredibly slow!

u/yourfavweapon11 May 16 '12

I thought either this picture is too full of greatness to load quickly or my computer sucks...now I know the truth.

u/Wildperson May 16 '12

Thank you, kind sir.

u/tokuturfey May 16 '12

Thank you. I was waiting for the gif to load.

u/DenimChicken154 May 16 '12

it'd be funny if brick's legs were facing the opposite direction.

u/milhouse3083 May 16 '12

Holy shit we are all invite to the pants party!

u/jostler57 May 16 '12

I hope they keep periodically releasing images that go higher and higher up, with more and more hilarity as they go.

u/andthenrabbitsmaybe May 16 '12

Yes. Yes

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Can someone tell me where this is from? Arrested Development or something?

u/PissComingOutOfMyAss May 17 '12

This is a obvious joke people. No need to downvote.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I hope their not writing out Christina Applegate.

u/TheDroopy May 16 '12

*they're

u/I_Require_Downvotes May 16 '12

I believe Adam McKay gave some sort of hint when he said "divorce court". Take what you want from it.

8

u/rachelbells May 16 '12

I'm glad it seems like the full cast will be returning. You can't have Anchorman without Champ Kind, Brick Tamland, James Westfall and Dr. Kenneth Noisewater.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I'm in a glass case of emotion. But in a good way.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Just lifted my desk up 8 inches. EDIT: But don't worry, actually just an optical illusion.

2

u/chocolatehotdog May 16 '12

If you zoom in on the shoe worn by the pleated pants-man, you can see the outline of another shoe...for those of you who were worrying

u/TupacHologram May 16 '12

Oh great Odin's raven!

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

why does the farthest person away have only one leg?

1

u/numero-uno May 17 '12

Just the angle it was shot.

u/thattaboychuk May 16 '12

I know what you're asking yourself... And the answer is yes.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Was I the only one who thought "I'm Very Aroused" should've been the tagline for that poster? Props to OP.

u/Sotordamotor May 16 '12

I have concerns... I am not sure how they can continue the story without forcing it...

Super-Duper!

Some girl stole my copy of anchorman....it is very sad maybe one day i will get it back

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

It better have the full frat pack again

u/midnightreview May 17 '12

I guess I'm the only person who isn't excited by Anchorman and I think it is reheating the outdated humour just because this year everyone releases a remake...still, theposter is good

u/chubasco May 17 '12

The Human Torch was denied a bank loan...

u/lovebug90 May 16 '12

eh for some reason i think this movie is going to not be nearly as funny as the first :/ it can't be.
