    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    After years of false starts, I find it hard to believe it will actually happen.

    If it does, i'm already dreading having to hear quotes from the original everyday of my life leading up to the sequel's release. *sigh* People had finally started to give the quotes a rest, too....

    As long as the cast actually want to do it (and not forced or just for the money) I think it could still work. All the principle cast have said in the past how enjoyable it was and Ferrel can still hold a comedy film with the best of them.

    Don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed the first one. Let the haters hate; all the more enjoyment, in fact

    Don't get me wrong, man.....the movie is hilarious. It's a very funny flick. I just became extremely tired of people quoting the film over and over again. It lasted for many years after the movie was released and really started to get to me. The fact that people were quoting the film says a lot about it's quality, but it just felt like so much in such a little amount of time that I ended up HATING hearing anything about Anchorman.

    I look forward to Anchorman 2. I just don't look forward to hearing some assclown throw out quotes every few minutes thinking he's cool for doing so. I love funny movie quotes and use them often, but there comes a time to hold back a bit, ya know?

    sorry but i've got to be a hater. i cannot stand will ferrell and think that along with jerry seinfeld and jay leno, he is probably one of the most unfunny people i can think of.

    then again, like i've said before, i tend to find american humor inane, idiotic, childish, crude and unsophisticated. i far prefer darker, drier british style humor.


    i just simply don't find most american "comedies" even remotely funny. i actually find most of them insulting to the viewer. i nearly pulled an elvis on my tv the first time i saw the trailer for that american pie reunion movie. that is the last thing the world needs.

    I'm glad someone else feels the same as I do about Will Ferrell. I cannot STAND him and I think he's probably the most un-funny idiot to ever hit the big screen.

    Anchorman 2?

    Funny you should say that, Mike, because normally I would completely agree with you: I cannot stand primitive, formulaic, schmaltzy comedies like Friends and American Pie, but Anchorman is one of my favourite movies. I don't think of it as a standard American comedy though; if I was asked to describe it I'd say it was like a cross between Alan Partridge and Money Python, and that's really what I like about it. Oh well, different strokes and all that.

    With that said, I didn't find the teaser as funny as I'd expected. Still, hope it's great.
