    Old School had an incredibly funny first half and an incredibly lame second half, the plot of which was lifted directly from Revenge of the Nerds. If I ever watched it again I would stop halfway through.

    I liked Talladega Nights but I know a lot of people didn't. I have no interest in the rest of Ferrell's sports movies.

      Anchor Man? I'm not a huge fan of most of his work but that movie is a classic IMO.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

        Looking forward to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. I saw the original a lifetime ago, so I have no recollection. Other than the fact it has a great cast and great review ratings, I have been avoiding any specific details.

          I forgot about that one. I would add it to my short list.

            Favourite Will Ferrell characters:

            Ashley Schaeffer BMW from Eastbound and Down
            Chazz Reinhold from Wedding Crashers

            Anchorman and Old School were good ... I only seen Talladega Nights once ... thought it was nothing special.

              "I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

                there was also Mustafa from Austin Powers ...

                It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                    Just watched Un Prophete (A Prophet), highly recommended, especially if you like gangster movies and don't mind sub-titles. Some brutal scenes and phenomenal acting throughout. It won the Grand Prix at Cannes in 2009.

                      Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ... I saw somewhere that it has a US release date of early December ... seems like rather a long time, what with piracy and all. Anyway ... can't miss cast and brilliantly shot with a real authentic 70's feel (no stylized ameliorated 00's version of the 70's). It's not a fast action spy story for sure, and at 2 hours, requires the viewer to be alert to pick up the nuances. I drifted at one point check a score on my phone, and missed the gist of an important plot line ... took me a while to piece together the missing links. This more about old fashioned suspense and story telling than twists and turns.

                        October Sky - Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Laura Dern. Just finished watching it.....one of my favorite all time movies. The true story of Homer Hickham (NASA engineer) and his 3 friends (the Rocket Boys) of a coal mining town who are inspired by the events of the day (Sputnik launching) and the enthusiams of their HS teacher, played by Laura Dern, and breaking the coalmining life cycle with rockets.

                        Love this movie...

                          Drive - The best new movie to come out since Black Swan. A masterpiece. See this in the theatre.
                          Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

                              I have no idea what I thought of Drive.

                                I just got back from a meeting and my family has Independence Day on the tv. It is one of those movies that trap you when you are surfing. Just a fun ride. The bad guys are about to get spanked.
