Talladega Nights

[Nega-Brent]

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is about to be unleashed upon us and I could not help but notice... that I have absolutely no desire to see this film at all. I've seen the trailers on television and it just seems like Will Ferrell's become the new Chevy Chase and Eddie Murphy. He's playing the same obnoxious and moronic character he played in Anchorman only with a different job and a lousy accent. Shouting and screaming random lines of dialogue just isn't funny anymore, at least not coming from Will Ferrell.

So, am I alone or is Will Ferrell just not funny anymore?

I think he can still be funny, but he does the same act over and over again. Much like what happened to Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey, and would've happened to Chris Farley had he not died. Carrey is the only one who was able to evolve from his crazy character into a quality actor.

So if this is your first Farrell movie you'll love it, if not you'll probably say "that was funny, but I've seen it before."

Looks awesome to me. =)

Three quotes from this movie already today, what a relevent film!

"If you stay in Larissa, you will find peace. You will find a wonderful woman, and you will have sons and daughters, who will have children. And they'll all love you and remember your name. But when your children are dead, and their children after them, your name will be forgotten... If you go to Troy, glory will be yours. They will write stories about your victories in thousands of years! And the world will remember your name. But if you go to Troy, you will never come back... for your glory walks hand-in-hand with your doom. And I shall never see you again." - Thetis (Troy)

I guess the moral of the story is that all legends die young.

I would like to see it..shit he named his kids "Walker" and Texas Ranger"..I thought it was funny but yet some people don't like this type of humor and I can understand it.

I only thought one part of the trailer was funny, where he says, "Help me Jesus. Help me jewish guy. Help me Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to put the fire out!"

[Gundampilotspaz]

Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft to put the fire out!

Who hasn't made a Tom Cruise magic joke in casual conversation?

That isn't too original.

Actually, I haven't. But whenever scientology is publicly mocked, it's a good thing.

[Battle_Pope]

I haven't either, and I tend to agree with set.

[FaultyClockwork]

That was the only line I found funny too.

Comedies these days are bleh often, so I don't know why anyone cares about the release.

I went to see "Nacho Libre" & saw the trailor for this. It did not appeal to me at all. Especially 'cause it deals with NASCAR.

I fucking hate NASCAR. \(>o< )

WRC, BTCC, IMSA, F1, JGTC, NASA CUP, Le Mans for the win! ( ^o^) <3

Yeah, that does look really good as does Evan the Almighty.

Guys, what about "The Marine"? That looks comedy of the year.
