    One of the weird things around the NAKED GUN discourse is misremembering the "Movie" Movies (EPIC MOVIE, DATE MOVIE, MEET THE SPARTANS) as the only spoofs of the 2000s and not beloved films like WALK HARD, ANCHORMAN, ZOOLANDER, TALLADEGA NIGHTS, and DODGEBALL which were also killing it but died.

    when I was in high school, I found out one of my friends had never seen a movie. this would've been... 2004? so I threw on ANCHORMAN. she loved it! so much, in fact, that she immediately watched WAKE UP, RON BURGUNDY. and I think it ruined cinema for her forever

    Probably more so, given that I marginally like Anchorman and Talladega Nights and The Emoji Movie mostly just fills me with contempt. Also because I've never watched The White Lotus, so he went from "guy writing popular, smart show, I guess" to "dude who runs a kinda toxic set and is a transphobe"

    So many great quotes from that movie. It’s not quite up there with Anchorman imo, but it gets close. “Eat your food Tina, you fat lard!” “Make yourself a galdang kaysa-dilla, Napoleon!” and of course, the classic “I bet I could throw a football over those mountains”

    Years ago I used to work at our local news channel, and I had three big takeaways: - Sinclair Broadcasting is evil - For a certain personality type, filming dangerous stuff is addictive and has a negative impact on yourself and the quality of the news - the movie Anchorman is criminally underquoted

    My usual Christmas routine is to get a group of friends together for a restaurant meal and then a movie. Usually we'll pick something like Jumanji or Aquaman or Anchorman II. Last two years, no one wanted to see any of the movies playing. Not 'I don't feel like going to the theater today' it was that none of the movies showing appealed to anyone.

    Stupid movies, think Will Farrell and movies like Anchorman and Step Brothers. I thought I was top shit in high school and college, that I was so much smarter than the average person and that my tastes were above the general public. Turns out I was just a douche. Now I know that humans are not binary, that you can like two things for two different reasons. I can enjoy something serious like _The Brutalist_ or _The Whale_, and then I can also enjoy something silly like _Eurovision Song…

    San Diego is one of the largest cities in the USA but hardly ever shows up in film (since it is basically "what if LA had basically the same culture but was just generally nicer to live in"). So Anchorman was kind of a "win". :)
