Yeah, me too. But.. I am not really sure where they are heading with this movie. The first one was good because.. it was a satire on sexism. I am not keeping my hopes up, but I will see it regardless.

Austin Powers did well.
Wanes World 2 wasn't bad.
Clerks 2 was done right.
For what it was Jackass was Jackass.
The Big Lebowski > The Hudsucker Proxy.

Umm no Clerks 2 sucked. Wasn't even in the same vein as the first. It was some retarded chick flick like Knocked Up.
 
So we've established that:

Austin Powers, Wanes World, and Jackass all made for sequels that still appealed to and were enjoyed by their respective demographics.

Since they've got such a heavy-hitter cast to sign up for the gig says to me they had a script that was good enough to justify the movie.
 
Def want to see Steve Carrell back in the sequel...well the whole damn news team really. Rudd, and even that crazy looking slack jawed guy...Koechner? Applegate does a good job too.
 
I can honestly say that I have never laughed at a single thing that Will Ferrell has ever done. I've seen several of his movies, but I just really do not find him funny at all and his movies fail to deliver in any respect, not just in humour. The same thing goes for Vince Vaune and all of the others in that same vein of comedy.

Watch: Stranger Than Fiction.

If you still think he can't act then you've got no ability to judge such things.
 
if nothing in a Will Ferrell movie or a Vince Vaughn movie has even made you laugh, then you are dead inside

Dodgeball
Old School
Anchorman
Wedding Crashers

You may not like certain actors, but saying there was nothing funny in those movies is not really possible

That's a question for the Coen brothers.

But my guess is magic.

Anchorman is my favorite Ferrel movie! The only possible sequal that would make me more excited is an incredibles 2 announcement.

You live in San Diego and eat at PF fucking Changs. You're opinion on aesthetics is worthless. Jesus fucking christ, you live in a city with phenomenal asian food. If you had any taste, at all, you would have a couple awesome asian places picked out, instead of a casual dining chain.

I eat at PF Changs maybe one or two times a year. I'm not asian... as such, I couldn't possibly care less about authentic or "awesome" asian food.

Italian food fucking PWNS asian food.

Anchorman sucked.

Incredibles was awesome.

I loved Anchorman.. and the gratuitous shots of San Diego 😀. I must rewatch it because punting baxter scene made me lol for 10-15 minutes.. i missed practically the next 10-15 minutes after that scene.

To Jules' credit, Asian food SUCKS in San Diego. It's absolutely abysmal. Just drive 2 hours north to LA, and it's like night and day in terms of Asian food. I have to do this at least once a month to get my Chinese and Korean food fix. I myself really don't have much of an interest in Italian food, because it's so saucy and heavy. But, when I do have it, it's decent in SD. It's decent as Italian can get, but Asian food in San Diego is like having Mexican food in China, served by Chinese people who had a passing glimpse on a magazine on what Mexican food might be like.

Oh, and WOOT at the new Anchorman movie. I doubt it'll be as awesome as the first, but I'll be watching it 😀

I don't think any of these movies are funny. Old School and Wedding Crashers is unwatchable for me. I can watch Anchorman but don't like to. I liked Dodgeball but didn't find it particularly funny. But hey, opinions are like assholes, right?
