JackFetch Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Will Farell as an ABA basketball player in the 1970s. I don't think there is really anything else to say about it. http://www.semipromovie.com/ See the real trailer here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 When will the world realize that Will Farrell is not funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I think he's funny. Just not in the same movie every year. He keeps remaking Anchorman in a new setting, and it's old. He was his funniest on SNL. The problem is that now he gets to control what he makes, and he doesn't see what a hack he's become. It's what would have happened to Jim Carrey if he had kept doing Ace Ventura like movies. Will could learn a lesson from him and do serious movies, but he likes easy money.

Missy Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Was Stranger than Fiction any good? Had he not been in it I would have seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I never saw it. I don't know why though. I wanted to see it when it came out. I'll watch it and get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Was Stranger than Fiction any good? Had he not been in it I would have seen it. It was all right. The graphics and visual effects were fantastic, and I liked the premise but the actual story frequently bordered on cheese. Ferrell was decent in it, not great.

chrno_the_sinner Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I personally LOVED Stranger than Fiction. Ferrell's acting was nicely subdued, and the supporting cast was good as well. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. There's a nice message in it too. I really recommend seeing it, for Ferrell showing us that he can be a decent serious actor if nothing else.

Guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Man, I think I'm the only person in the world that still likes the guy. I don't care, Good Cop Baby Cop is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 The "Baby Pearl" stuff is only funny because of Pearl. Any other actor could have played Farrell's parts... better I might add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I should emphasize that I also enjoy his movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Anyways, every comedian in the world reaches this phase. Get's hot for a while, becomes popular, keeps doing what made him popular, people hate him for doing what people used to love him for doing, disappears for a while, makes a comeback. Jim Carrey, Dane Cook, Will Ferrell, if I listened to everyone around me, I'd never laugh at anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 For the record, I've never found Will Farrell to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 I loved Will Farrell on SNL, and completely adore Anchorman, however, his movies have become redundant. Outside of Stranger Than Fiction, which I personally liked, he's been doing the same act in different movies since leaving SNL, and it's become tiresome.

JackFetch Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I just watched Stranger Than Fiction, and I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I thought it was good too. I fell asleep at the end though. But, I fall asleep at movies I watch at home a lot lately. It's not indicative of the movie, it's more about how fucking tired I always am. Makes reviewing stuff for Dread Media a bitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Didn't he do a Woody Allen movie and was apprently pretty good in it? Melinda and Melinda I think. I think he has done this many of these types of movies now that he would need to take a 5yr break before trying something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'm sorry. Did I hear "Woody Allen" and "good" in the same sentence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Don't hate on Small Time Crooks I wasn't. I was hating on everything he's ever done equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
