Pulling a Nicholas.
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.

While I wasn't interested in seeing Anchorman for years because I didn't think I'd like it, I've kinda softened on that stance in the past year or so and think I need to watch it at least once, if only because people quote it and make references to it so much. A friend recently told me that I might not laugh much at any of the jokes the first time, but I'll probably find myself thinking about the lines later and want to re-watch it. That's actually pretty much what happened when I caved in and watched Superbad six months after it came out. Actually, I'm already thinking I need to see The Hangover for the very same reasons, though I don't have high expectations.

I find that those movies are much more entertaining when you watch them with the type of people who love them. The humor becomes how funny they think it is, which helps get you in the frame of mind to find the movie funny yourself.

The Hangover is much better than Anchorman in my opinion, but I do think Anchorman is maybe the only good thing Will Ferrel has ever done.

When I saw the trailers for The Hangover, I had no doubt in my mind that it was going to be a stupid movie that I definitely would not see. However, after a few weeks of being released, with everyone saying how hilarious it was and seeing how on Rotten Tomatoes, it was killing in user ratings, I went out and saw it. I agreed with everyone that it was really really good and I've seen it three times. It wasn't one of those stupid "I drank too much last night and don't remember a damn thing this morning" films and is absolutely hysterical. I made my parents in their mid-50s see it and they loved it as well.
I hate Will Ferrell as much as any actor, but I can tolerate Anchorman compared to some of the absolute crap that he's been in otherwise. The only other movie I remember really liking with him was "The Producers."

The Hangover is much better than Anchorman in my opinion, but I do think Anchorman is maybe the only good thing Will Ferrel has ever done. He was one of the better SNL comedians during his tenure. Not for his most well-known characters or anything, but I liked him as the father yelling at his off-camera kids to get off the shed in the backyard. The father who blows up at his family during passive-aggressive, otherwise calm dinners. The sketches that inspired Night at the Roxbury (which I never saw because the sketches were so good, but not something you could build a movie out of, considering none of the guys really ever talked). And the Bill Brasky sketches, off the top of my head. As for movies, I remember liking him fine in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. I didn't like him in Old School, a movie I was cautious of to begin with. I was unimpressed by Talladega Nights, another one I was wary of seeing. I hated Step Brothers, which I was forced to watch. I don't remember him at all in the first Austin Powers movie (so disappointed with that movie that I never bothered with the other two). I don't remember him in The Ladies Man (which I was dragged to. Again, another one that worked great as SNL sketches, but too thin to sustain a whole movie.) I actually would like to see Semi-Pro, just because Andre 3000 is in it and they're all playing basketball in the '70s. Except for Anchorman now, everything else he's been in, I have no interest in seeing.

Why are we so off topic in this thread??? Full song comes out tomorrow on iTunes!!! Maybe because a)the song's not out b) we all pretty much know each other in this forum and go off topic conversation all the time and c)most people probably will barely register that this comes out. That it has this many responses is what I would have guessed it would have in a full run had the side chat not happened.

I'm all for having some kind of off-topic thread just on the Alternative/Rock section so we can actually discuss various other things other than each other's opinions on music.
Yes, I just sort of said the word "other" three times in one sentence. Awesome :)

Amazing how my views of him have changed over the last few years. Ah, I'm going to miss that show...

Finally played the song/video on my own time, thank you very much. (I'll be seeing them tomorrow.)
I really like "Forever," "Call Me" is really well done and the year it came out, I downloaded A Beautiful Tragedy. The title track was my favorite song. Based on the alleged less-metal, more-rock direction of their second album, I was not prepared to be punched in the face by this song. Maria's screaming and snarling through the whole thing while the band blasts out churning, chugging riffs. This song is awesome! I'd be all for more melodic rock, metal-leaning or otherwise, but what a delightful surprise! I may chart this, but there's a reason radio has so far been ignoring this.

Considering the album will have been out for more than two months by the time this goes for adds, can't we sort of treat "The Promise" as a follow-up single of sorts and you can just make a new thread?
