Ahhhh... you cant get better than "The Run"
Us sad people down in Bournemouth tend to host regular "Run" nights... Burt was "da man" without doubt.
Watched "Anchorman" the other night. Was dissappointed as I really like the cast, but I found the humour very hit and miss.
Certainly not in the same league as Dodgeball or Starsky and Hutch IMO

I think its one of those comedies you have to "buy into" a bit like "Zoolander" or "Mystery Men"stargurl wrote:memly: Anchorman is my current favourite 'stupidfunny' movie... I don't normally find movies like that very funny but it had me cracking up. When it first came out I found myself quoting bits from it all the time
I just thought a lot of the gags fell flat, but I have a funny feeling this may be a 'cultural' thing.
I am assuming most of the actors are from Saturday night live, this doesnt really have a big following here in England (to my knowledge) so quite a few of these people are not household names.
That said, I like Will Ferrell/Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughan, just not in this

Anchorman is fantastic. I watched it last week and thought... hell, I'll watch it again. And I did, right away.

Some people don't get the Transformers. It's simple. They're big robots. And they change into things. And they fight. This is beautiful and mad. If you do not get this, there is something missing in your soul. - Paul O'Brien

There's a great website here that shows comparisons of panels in the graphic novels to scenes from the movie: http://www.filmrot.com/images/sincity-c ... ncity.html
It's amazing how true-to-source they were!

I read in an interview with Robert Rodriguez that they filmed the three stories in their entirety as lifted directly from the pages of the comics, and that the complete versions of each story will be on the bonus disc.
I hope it is so!
