Anchorman (2 Viewers)

[Ellie-Bee]

I saw this for the first time the other day and I can safely say that it is one of my favourite movies. Anyone else like it???

 

[Dreamerish*~]

It looked quite lame in the trailer... and they're supposed to make trailers look good.

 

[RyBo]

it was lame, but it was still funny.

 

[Ellie-Bee]

The humour of it is meant to be lame - it is a parody of American news channels. Duh.

 

[Jago]

Bill Lawson: [narration] There was a time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.

 

[RyBo]

yeah, i got that.

I probably should have said,
"it was lame which made it funny"

Also some pretty serious views in their:
sexism
role of media
high profile celebs setting good example.

But anyway, it was funny., (because it was lame)

funniest bits:
bikie kicking dog off bridge
fight scene
that dumb guy (with glasses)

Some of the best quotes: (including the one Jago shared!)

Champ Kind: What in the hell's diversity?
Ron Burgundy: [clears throat] Well, I could be wrong, but I believe uh, diversity is an old wooden ship that was used during the civil war era.

***

Brian Fantana: That was one crazy party. I am hung over.
Champ Kind: I woke up on the floor of some Japanesse family's living room, and they would NOT stop screaming!
Brick Tamland: I ate a big, red candle.

***

Announcer: You're watching Channel 4 News with five-time Emmy award-winning anchor Ron Burgundy and Tits McGee.
Veronica Corningstone: Good evening, San Diego. I'm Veronica Corningstone. Tits McGee is on vacation.
Ron Burgundy: And I'm Tits... I'm Ron Burgundy

Ron Burgundy: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast!
Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch!
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart!
Ron Burgundy: I saw that! Brick killed a guy! Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident!
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

 

[persephone]

It was funny...stupid funny, but funny all the same.

 

[bazookajoe]

Stupidly funny, seen it many times.

Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be quite honest, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60 percent of the time, it works every time.
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense.

And pretty much anything Brick says is hilarious.

 

[artheterosexual]

Ron Burgundy: Last time I looked in the dictionary, my name's Ron Burgundy. What's your name?
Brian Fantana: Brian Fantana.
Champ Kind: Champ Kind.
Brick Tamland: Brian Fantana.
Brian Fantana: No, you're Brick.
Brick Tamland: Brian.
Brian Fantana: I'm Brian.
Brick Tamland: Veronica.

Where'd you get those clothes from, the toilet store?

 

[Ellie-Bee]

Ron Burgundy: The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show...
[kisses his biceps]
Ron Burgundy: and see if she likes the goods.

***

Ron Burgundy: I'm going to punch you in the ovary, a straight shot right to the babymaker.

 

[katietheskatie]

brick was the only good thing about it.

"i love carpet! i love .. desk!"
"are you saying that because you actually love them, or just because they're there?"
"I LOVE LAMP!!!"

 

[icecreamdisco]

"you are a smelly pirate hooker!"

uneven movie, but the good outweighs the bad.

 

[Orange Juice]

didnt really like the movie, but the fight scene was great...

 

[evilc]

'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.

[dead cactus]

milk was a bad choice!

 

[Cab31]

[katietheskatie]

"i killed a guy with a trident!"
"brick you should lay low for a while, you're probably wanted for murder .."

i probably butchered that quote, but its still funny.
