Don't Look Up (Adam McKay, December 24 2021) Movie • Page 13

for me it's that I can't tell if it's making fun of Brennan and Dale or not, whereas Ricky Bobby Ron Burgundy and Terry are all making fun of toxic masculinity rather than these guys are a little weird

 

Honestly can’t stand Talladega Nights and The Other Guys is completely forgettable. Literally forgot all about that movie.

 

Always thought The Other Guys was a step-down from the other three Ferrell/McKay flicks (although still very funny at the time) but it's hard for me to sit down and watch those movies after hearing them quoted ad nauseam in high school and college

Talladega Nights is up there with Anchorman and Step Brothers though. Was probably my favorite growing up.

 

Don't particularly care one way or another about Adam McKay but I loved The Big Short, stylistically and thematically

 

It's funny because as minor as it was, that felt like Michael Keaton's comeback role, and a few years later he was back for good

 

I know I've said it before, but the "Aim for the Bushes" scene in "The Other Guys" is probably the hardest I've ever laughed during a movie.

 

You’re thinking too hard about it. It’s absolutely making fun of Brennan and Dale haha. It’s just amazing slapstick stuff.

 

The other guys is easily the best of those four but I never found step brothers all that great and anchorman and talledega nights, while hilarious when I was a child, have been worn into the ground by popular culture and are more tedious now than anything

 

wat

 

I'm admittedly sensitive when characters are autistic coded which I feel like they are

 

Keaten's whisper-shout "What the hell is going on here?!?" is an incredible line delivery

 

Same. I was dying when I saw that in theaters.

 

I'm so glad they got The Rock to do that before he only played invincible characters.

 

Weirdly don’t think I’ve ever seen The Other Guys

 

I just see them as narcissistic and incredibly strange/obnoxious man-children.

 

Hated The Other Guys the first time I saw it. Second time watching it, loved it

 

Anchorman is still a classic of that era's humour and it holds up well today, I will not hear the slander

 

I'll never forget the two hour long silence I experienced showing my friends "Anchorman" for the first time, partially because it was the uncut version, which was the only one you could find at the time.

 

Not all actors are good at improvising, to be fair. Lots of them are disastrously bad at it.

 

Yeah improv isn’t the easiest, I wouldn’t assume a Nickelodeon star of a terribly scripted tv show would be good at it either haha

 

Keaton is so fucking hilarious in The Other Guys, he steals that whole movie
