I saw Anchorman on Tuesday. It's better than the reviews give it credit for, like a pretty good SNL-type movie. Good, but not for full price

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>Will doesn't say it, the Weatherman (ex Daily Show guy) does. And it's a lot funnier in context after seeing the preceding scene</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>Haha. You didn't see the movie and you failed to find that random and out-of-context quote funny? (it was Steve Carell, btw, not Will Ferrel)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>True, some lame, formulaic moments, but all SNL skit-films are like that. Considering Ferrell co-wrote this, it's not surprising it's a lot like one of those films</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I'd hardly call that part with the bears formulaic. Tessian just hates anything that contends with his conservative notions of how the world should work : )</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>I thought some parts were horribly stupid. The one that sticks out a LOT is the end with the dog and the bear, that was soooo dumb it made my head hurt. Pleasure Town was also really dumb. But I did thoroughly enjoy the big rumble with the news stations. I didn't know Ben Stiller was in it :P Very funny with the trident</div>

No, but...(spoilers)
