The First Casa De Mi Padre Theatrical Trailer Has Pumpkin Escobar Laughing
So there’s been about two different trailers to CASA DE MI PADRE. I guess the two released so far could be considered teasers, but the second one I covered seemed to have a lot of footage, but not a lot of dialogue from the cast. Regardless, as a fan of Will Ferrell, it looked pretty [...]
SNL Legend Dan Aykroyd Joins Will Ferrell’s Dog Fight
I love Dan Aykroyd, like his cast member Bill Murray, he’s one of those comedic legends that nobody forgets. I mean, of course, he’s not perfect and like Murray, he’s made a few bad choices when it comes to movies in recent years. It’s hard to glance over glaring mistakes like YOGI BEAR (for Murray, [...]
Funny Or Die Director May Be Directing A Real Hollywood Movie
So I don’t spend hours on the computer looking up funny videos, or doing anything except writing articles for you lovely folks. I used to spend time reading Wikipedia articles, just to educate myself on obscure topics because the people that contribute are just as detail-obsessed as me. So when I look to find something, [...]
Zach Galifianakis Gets One Brother For The Price Of Two In Dog Fight
Zach Galifianakis was some unknown Greek comedian back in the day, it’s just so surprising that one movie would blow him up so much. Granted he was completely genius in the role, but I guess that’s all it takes nowadays to gain international stardom and recognition. Now people are actually looking up his comedy, when [...]
Jason Sudeikis Gets In A Dog Fight With Will Ferrell And Zach Galifianakis
I used to love Saturday Night Live. During the Farley, Sandler, Spade, and Schneider days, I couldn’t help but roll around in hilarity any time those four would come on stage. I mean, how could you not laugh at Farley in “Lunch Lady Land”! That was my generation of SNL and although all four became [...]
Due Date Writers Preparing Swear To God Script For Will Ferrell
DUE DATE didn’t really impress much but Warner Bros. has gotten the writing team behind it to work on a script for Will Ferrell. According to Deadline, Warner Bros. has acquired the pitch that will have Will Ferrell as a hedge fund manager who believes he has seen God. Writers Alan Cohen and Alan Freedland [...]
John C. Reilly Says That If A Stepbrothers Sequel Is Worth Doing, They’ll Do It
I will absolutely admit to missing the boat on STEP BROTHERS during its theatrical release (A bit ironic when you factor in “Boats N’ Hoes”). After ANCHORMAN and TALLADEGA NIGHTS, I was really off the Will Ferrell movie bandwagon, and STEP BROTHERS looked like more of the same to me. I only picked it up [...]
Boats ‘N Hoes! A Prestige Worldwide Album Is In The Works
All of the credit in Will Ferrell’s film career is always aimed at ANCHORMAN, and the same goes for writer/director Adam McKay. The Kidd hears constantly about how funny ANCHORMAN is… how quotable… and after revisiting it a few months ago after my initial assessment that it sucked, I’m still sticking firm to my position [...]
Jeremy Renner And Noomi Rapace Turn Hansel And Gretel Into Witch Hunters
Jeremy Renner’s star continues to rise. After his memorable turn in THE HURT LOCKER, everyone wants to get involved in the Jeremy Renner business. First, it was being cast as Hawkeye in THE AVENGERS. Then it was landing the co-starring role opposite Tom Cruise in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 4, and now he’s on the verge of [...]
Anchorman 2 Ain’t Dead Yet
Jump for joy, ANCHORMAN fans. The sequel that you have long been hoping for that the kibosh was seemingly put on a few months ago isn’t quite dead yet. It’s on life support and probably being sustained by a feeding tube, and it might not even have substantial brain function… but it’s still technically alive. [...]
Adam McKay Gets Serious With His Ideas For A Lee Atwater Biopic
When Adam McKay’s name comes up as a filmmaker, you automatically think comedy. Whether it’s ANCHORMAN or STEP BROTHERS or TALLADEGA NIGHTS or THE OTHER GUYS, you’re fairly comfortable with the idea that Adam McKay’s movies are going to attempt to make you laugh. In the future, that might not always be the case. In [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Other Guys
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD The Kidd isn’t a big Will Ferrell fan. I’ve really enjoyed him in a few movies – OLD SCHOOL, ELF, and, on a more serious note, STRANGER THAN FICTION. But, when it comes to his comedies, particularly when he pairs up with writer/director/producer Adam McKay, it always feels as if I’m watching [...]
The Virginity Hit Red Band Trailer Will Teach You What Not To Do If You Want To Get Laid
Out of nowhere, a small film hit Comic-Con about a bunch of guys who decide it’d be a great idea to set up a camera and film their friend losing his virginity to a hot chick, and the hijinks that occur after she find the camera. THE VIRGINITY HIT really surprised everyone, as no one [...]
Anchorman 2: What Could Have Been
There are a lot of fans who truly believe in the power on ANCHORMAN to make people laugh or rattle off ridiculous quotes from the movie at the worst possible times. I don’t share your sentiments. A few months back, after hating ANCHORMAN for years, I allowed myself the chance to go back and re-visit [...]
Adam McKay Could Do The Boys Next
I haven’t been the biggest fan of director Adam McKay. After recently going back for a second viewing, The Kidd doesn’t find ANCHORMAN the least bit funny (besides some moments here and there), and TALLADEGA NIGHTS actually put me to sleep (as just the idea of NASCAR often does). However, I will continue to give [...]
