so i went and saw 300 again, this time with my wife, because there's nothing else to do in port angeles, wa except smell the reek of the sea. anyway, we debated going to see blades of steel or whatever with will farrell, because the choice was that, 300, or that ice cube channels bill cosby movie which makes the ghost of eazy (mothafuckin) e rise up and choke a bitch in despair. we picked 300, but we discussed our mutual hatred of will farrell movies (excluding elf, which she likes for some unfathomable reason, probably having to do with estrogen) while we waited in line with a bunch of really depressed, quasi-hobo white teens. anchorman and talladega nights were both utterly unfunny and insipid, and considering those two movies led us to speculate what sort of stupid gross-out hijinks might occur if will farrell teamed up with the farrelly bros to film the lamest goofball grossout comedy OF ALL TIME.
we figured it would be called "lemon party" starring will farrell as an aging out-of-work gay porn actor with a longstanding dream to make the ultimate octogenarian gay porn flick of all time. along the way, he runs into tubgirl (played by sarah silverman) and falls for her despite his previous homosexuality (and what would a farrelly bros movie be without convenient deus ex machina), stealing her from gordon goatse (played by ben stiller). disgusting pratfalls and poop jokes ensue, many lols are had by the watching teens, and a scene where will farrell fellates ben kingsley seems initially shocking but drags on for ten minutes too long while farrell attempts his godawful improv schtick. morphix buys 35 copies of the blu-ray release and lets his twin brother cornhole him atop the stacked cases while the bleach op theme plays in the background.
also why aren't jon heder's fifteen minutes of fame up? and why is will arnett attached to crap like this? i weep for thee, gob. :gloomy

should have watched grindhouse instead

what happened to you china? you used to be cool

Your wife must be pretty cool if she wanted to see 300 :bow
Will Farrell's success leaves me dumbfounded. The man is not funny at all, and is a true disgrace to movie comics everywhere. I am proud to say that I have never seen a movie with him in it

arnett and ferrel are buddies. They are doing another movie together right now, they are filming it here in Michigan lol.
Arnett's best non-AD role is on 30 Rock
-
you'd think even LESS of him if you DID, pd. :'(
remember when we could all come together and hate a night at the roxbury? i miss those days. :'(
-
he wasn't bad in stranger than fiction... he wasn't good either.
-
cheebs, that makes me weep. isn't arnett married to amy poehler? couldn't he pay her to beat farrell to death with her 11-inch clit?
-

I left a Christmas party early once just to avoid seeing Elf.
There's something about his face that makes me nauseous. How does this man make back-to-back-to-back $100 million grossing movies with such ease? :-\
-
I liked Elf.
-
I didn't know you were a masochist.
-
elf was cute but it was more of a family film than a straight up comedy.
-
I liked Old School.
-
Will Ferrell isn't bad, I loved Anchorman.
-
gays
-
I don't know how my loving the cock affects my taste in comedy, but whateva, girlfriend. :-*
-
that's not just loving the cock, butter cheeks, that's lining the cocks up in an iowa truckstop and slobbering on each one until morning when the cops find you slathered in a cocoon of jizzle and stuck to the restroom stall like some sort of giger monster's sexy sexy victim
-
I liked Old School.

no you didn't, owen wilson and vince vaughn are about as funny as coming home and finding brian peppers fisting your mom

I had to watch Taladega Nights on a plane ride :(

Wedding Crashers was awesome :(

What's with US airlines forcing people to watch such trash? My parents told me that when they were on the plane to Hawaii a few months ago they were forced to watch Crystal Lake or whatever it's called; the movie with Keanu and Sandra Bullocks. Ugh. Apparently the airlines justify this by offering up a vote, but the options are equally sucky - sort of like November 2004, but hundreds of miles above the ground
-
oh god, the lake house. i had to watch that and the massively unfunny vince vaughn/jennifer aniston romcom "the breakup". i prayed for terror to take my life, hopefully by plowing my flight into universal studios.
-
wedding crashers is the only dvd i've ever purchased blind and utterly regretted. i can't believe how completely unoriginal and wholly unfunny that movie was. the only redeeming quality was isla fisher. the rest of it was pure refuse. i'd rather have the dark shake defecate directly into my mouth than watch it again.

I think they did a vote on my flight to Vegas, but I forget because I just watched Entourage on my iPod.
-
No YOU suck Drinky :(
-
i'm just tired of the whole "manchildren what can't grow up" goofball comedy subgenre. it's funny when it's completely surreal, like billy madison; it's not funny when it tries to make a point or be touching, like anything those two talentless fuckwits will farrell and vince vaughn star in.

It's sort of like the last day of high school, where you just watch movies in every class, and you get to vote. I rememeber my science class had pretty good taste - they collectively voted for Saving Silverman over Finding Nemo and Attack of the Clones. And when my english teacher decided to show RADIO I was quite glad that I was skipping that class to head off to see Return of the King.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Could have been the movie. I haven't seen it myself, but Will Farrell is pretty versatile in his roles. It's not like he's Adam Sandler playing the same character every movie. Starsky and Hutch? Zoolander? Talladega Nights? None of those movies tried to "make a point." Just good clean fun.
Like I said though I haven't seen Blades of Glory, and for all I know it could have been complete shit. I hate Heder so I'll agree with you there.

Saving Silverman is probably one of my most favorite underrated comedies. That movie is the shit.

Dude, we could be like best friends or something.
But I would have voted for Radio. That's like the best comedy ever about a distinguished mentally-challenged football player.

Radio is one of the worst movies of all time, and the fact that it killed Cuba Gooding Jr's career instead of bagging him an oscar is proof enough of god's existance. How hard is it to play a distinguished mentally-challenged person in a movie? So many decent actors have done it to great success, yet Gooding turns in one of the ugliest preformances ever.
And this is coming from a total sucker for sentimental movies.
-
forrest gump lol

did you just say you have a standard for distinguished mentally-challenged performances?
-

Hey now!

Will Ferrell isn't bad, I loved Anchorman.
I've never seen Anchorman but Ecro and I are going to be watching it tonight at his house. We'll probably put it on shortly, actually. :) I hope I like it!
-
Next thing you know you guys will be saying that you hate Zoolander.

Anchorman is REALLY bad. I'm sorry. I like most of his older movies. But that shit is terrible.
Sorry, Ichirou
-
Your wife sounds awesome Drinky.
The only Will Farrel movie I like are Old School and Anchorman. And even then it's only like. It's not love. Harold and Kumar > Anchorman
-
Will Ferrel's main strength has always been TALKING REALLY LOUD. The Weekend Update bit where he was physically unable to control his speaking volume, the Harry Carey skits, and the bit on Norm MacDonald's CD about the first men to have gay sex are all pretty fun. Everything else not so much (the cheerleader skits were a huge warning sign, dammit).
Also, I really liked Vince Vaughn's schtick in Wedding Crashers. It got weaker as it went along (opening > beach house > third act), but I enjoyed it. It's kind of hard to argue either way cause it's just schtick, but I liked Caddyshack and Stripes, and those were pretty much the same.
PS Remember the Ben Stiller Show? Janeane Garofalo, David Cross, Bob Oedenkirk, and Andy Dick. I've been associating him with that 90's alt-comedy movement, and only mentally re-filed him under Frat Pack like a month ago.
-
anyone remember the mystery men movie? yeah, that movie rocked.....
-
Will Ferrell isn't bad, I loved Anchorman.
Anchorman had like one joke in it. Terrible movie
-
I hope we can all agree that Steve Carell>>>>>>>>Will Farrell
-
abso-fucking-lutely.
carell, despite his comedic roots, is a very good and versatile actor. farrell is a human pratfall with a penchant for falsetto and showing his pasty ass. carell takes roles and makes them his own; farrell makes himself his own role. farrell has zero nuance and is just a big bumbling sight gag sans the chris farley styled self-loathing that might make him honestly amusing. farrell makes me pine for martin lawrence, which oughtta be some kind of crime.
-
Okay, I didn't think Anchorman was so bad. It wasn't as funny as a Sandler movie, but I liked it.
-
I hope we can all agree that Steve Carell>>>>>>>>Will Farrell
Carrel proved himself to be one hell of a actor with LMS. I curious about his "Get Smart" movie with Alan Arkin.
-
Grindhouse is worth a four hour drive.
End of thread.
-
Steve Carrel as Maxwell Smart was an inspired bit of casting. Unlike Will Ferrel in the Bewitched movie. wtf.
Anyways, I think the Napolean Dynamite guy is more annoying than Will Ferrel.
-
I hope we can all agree that Steve Carell>>>>>>>>Will Farrell
duh
-
PD doesn't even watch the office or the daily show.
Chris Farley rocked.
-
Stephen Colbert should do some acting.

Will Farrell is a tall version of Jack Black. Worst F----- Would Not Watch Again
-
Jesus Christ you people hate EVERYTHING

Jesus Christ you people hate EVERYTHING
I don't :(
-
The fact that Will Farrell's shitty ass movie made more money than Grindhouse did this weekend is a fucking joke.
Again:
People are dumbasses
Kentucky is proof.

You don't honestly expect fucking astronomical numbers for Grindhouse, do you? America isn't fucking "country of nerds."
Not saying we aren't stupid, but the country doesn't have to support every cult following movie all the time.
-
I expected Grindhouse to do better than it did. I wasn't expecting astronomical numbers but I was thinking it'd do a good $25-$30 million on the first weekend. This year has been weird for movies so far, what with the Wild Hogs phenomenon and all.
Didn't Pulp Fiction make like $95 million in total? And it's all been downhill for Tarantino from there, financially speaking.
-
the wild hogs thing is unfathomable. i guess old folks have felt neglected; the last big movie made for their cretinous demographic was, what, the passion?
-
The people who go see Wild Hogs are the same folks who went to see Meet the Fockers and are eagerly awaiting Meet the Little Focker, that's my theory.
-
Jesus fuck, I saw Anchorman in theaters with a bunch of friends and we all thought it was fucking hilarious. Parts of the movie have me rolling every time I watch it.

That's also where Freaks and Geeks/Undeclared/40 Year Old Virgin's Judd Apatow really got started.

okay, will farrell was funny in undeclared, when he played one of those 30+ year old losers who never leave a college campus.

-
now that it's been 6 years, lets reassess. do we have a better sense of will ferrells range now then we did before?
the answer is no. he is still terrible. his shrill yelling was funny the first time. then it never stopped. jesus this guy is the worst.
also I will not bump any more threads I promise.
-
Bored, Barry?
-
as bored as I am, I can never match having to sit through Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
-
All these thread bumps, it's like going through a Bore museum
-
no one's holding out hope for Anchorman 2? :teehee
-
I am.
But then again, I thought Talladega Nights was hilarious.
-
Ferrell is a bit like those 3D stereograms, everyone can see the cool depth and magic apart from me.
-
Will's a funny guy, but totally uninspired these days. The last time he made me laugh was in Step Brothers. Aside from that he's pretty much sleep walking through every role.
-
Nope, Will Ferrell is as stupid and shitty as he has always been.
-
I haven't seen a Will Farrell movie since 2007 (Blades of Glory :yuck )
-
Having said that, Anchorman 2 will do pretty well. It will remind frat bros of the time they saw the original movie, which is around the same time they had to jack off the pledge master and eat a jizz cracker during rush week.
-
Will Farell is awesome.
Old school <3
-
I was just thinking about 2007
-
This is the best thing Will Ferrell has ever done:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haHlFA_bDkI
Note that you cannot hear him speak.
-
They were filming scenes for Anchorman 2 right outside the building I work at. Didn't get to see anyone though. So I guess look forward to shitty 1980s Atlanta setting?
-
The Other Guys is fucking funny.
-
Yeah, Wahlberg is funnier in that movie. But Ferrell is the straight man in The Other Guys.
-
Stranger than Fiction is a really well written movie that Farrell still almost manages to poop all over
-
God loves all his children, even Will Farrell
