I don't know, it wasn't "slow" in a bad way. You'll like it if you know a bit of English history (the film does however take a few liberties - alright so it rearranges the whole sequence of events) and the legends surrounding Robin Hood. It's an origin story, meant to flesh out how Robin Hood came to be an outlaw and showing how he was in a sense betrayed by the King. It's not a tale of his exploits as an outlaw (unless they make a sequel to it).

 

It would have been fine if they'd titled this "Robin of Loxley" or something, since it shows him becoming Robin hood only in the lat 10 minutes or so of the movie.

Ridley Scott talks his 3D, 2-part Alien prequel

 

Ridley Scott is now firmly looking at his 3D "Alien" two-part prequel as his next project, the "Robin Hood" director telling UK paper The Independent that he expects the venture to take no prisoners.

 

"The film will be really tough, really nasty. It's the dark side of the moon. We are talking about gods and engineers. Engineers of space. And were the aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would go in and clean up a planet?" says Scott. "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindoff is polishing the first prequel's script set three decades before the events in the 1979 original film.

 

Scott takes a friendly jab at "Aliens" director James Cameron, seeing the success he had with the first sequel as a challenge he has to at least match with these films - "Jim's raised the bar and I've got to jump to it."

 

Meanwhile, Digital Spy reports that actress Gemma Arterton has indicated she'll meet with Scott about possibly starring in the planned prequels. Scott was apparently so impressed with her work in recent British thriller "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" that he wants to meet with her for the main female role.

 

Arterton however has a busy schedule including Richard E. Grant's cowboy comedy "In With the Outlaws", and the Ruth Rendell novel adaptation "The Keys To The Street".

 

 

Gemma is too beautiful for the movie....but i can see why Ridley Scott chose her.

 

 

no nudity or bare bodies, but enuf to make u fap in office

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy - The Rich Mahogany Edition (Blu-ray)

f**king worth owing anyday !!

 

The Supplements: Digging Into the Good Stuff

 

 

Okay. Deep breath. The Blu-ray of 'Anchorman' has all of the voluminous extras that were on the original DVD, the bonus disc with 'Wake Up Ron Burgundy' (an entirely separate feature in and of itself, more on that in a minute) as well as some new extras that are exclusive to this "Rich Mahogany" edition. We're going to be here a while, you might want to pour yourself a cup of coffee.

Feature Commentary This commentary features McKay, Ferrell, Andy Ritcher (who isn't in the movie but who did appear in 'Talladega Nights'), Kyle Gass (again: not in the movie), Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Christina Applegate, and, most baffling of all, American jazz legend Lou Rawls. It's Rawls who makes the best entrance saying, simply, "I'm Lou Rawls and I'm still wondering what I'm doing here." Still, that velveteen voice classes up the whole operation which while not reaching the batshit genius levels of Ferrell and McKay's musical commentary track for 'Step Brothers' (still probably the best non-Steven Soderbergh commentary track ever) is still pretty nuts. Ferrell and McKay, right out of the gate, are on fire. If there was ever such a thing as a commentary track-as-performance art, then this is it. A must listen.

 

Deleted & Extended Scenes (SD, 53:56) THERE ARE SO MANY! And what's amazing is that these scenes are entirely separate from the 'Wake Up Ron Burgundy,' a movie that is made up of deleted scenes and abandoned subplots. 'Anchorman' might set some kind of world record for the sheer number of deleted scenes. I wouldn't be surprised. Some of these are pretty hilarious, others not. But if you're a super fan, they're worth slogging through.

 

Bloopers (SD, 7:46) These are more straight-up outtakes than anything else and are reasonably funny.

 

"Afternoon Delight" Music Video (SD, 3:50) There's a funny scene in the movie proper where Ron Burgundy and the boys have an impromptu musical moment set to Starland Vocal Band oddity "Afternoon Delight." (The one about getting busy, midday.) Well, this is a full-blown music video for the same song which, it turns out, is just as weird.

 

ESPN Audition (SD, 1:55) This is a funny little bit with Ron Burgundy auditioning to be an anchor for upstart sports channel ESPN (which is actually chronologically accurate - the network began in 1979). This is only halfway amusing but he lets some good zingers fly, stuff like "Who would want to watch a 24-hour sports channel?" Yuk yuk yuk…

 

'Wake Up, Ron Burgundy' (HD, 1:32:53) The most special of all special features is the full-length 'Wake Up, Ron Burgundy,' a movie comprised of outtakes and abandoned subplots that they couldn't fit into the actual movie. This is a startling piece, not only for how well it works, in that distinctly oddball Ferrell-McKay way, but in the amount of big time actors that were cut, entirely from the feature film (people like Maya Rudolph, Chuck D, and Justin Long). It's really amazing that this film, a curio that was packaged with the original film for a limited time and has since been relegated to eBay and other secondhand locations, has been given a new life with the "Rich Mahogany" Blu-ray. You're not an 'Anchorman' diehard if you haven't seen 'Wake Up, Ron Burgundy.'

 

Intro-Commentary This is so weird! It's a small, maybe twenty minute "intro-commentary" for 'Wake Up, Ron Burgundy' by Will Ferrell and "third listed executive producer" Aaron Zimmerman (aka Adam McKay doing a crazy character). You will giggle extensively; well worth a listen.

 

PSAs (SD, 3:41) These are brief, hilarious public service announcements addressing the concerns of the time (chiefly: hippies). Very funny stuff.

 

Awards Speech (SD, 3:12) I'm not even sure what this was for, either part of the movie or some other throwaway bit, but anyway, it's Ron Burgundy picking up some kind of basic news award several years in a row and, predictably, making an a*s out of himself.

 

MTV Movie Award Interviews (SD, 10:14) For the MTV Movie Awards one year, they had Ron Burgundy interviewing famous people: Burt Reynolds, Rebecca Romijin and Jim Caviezel. The Burt Reynolds interview is the funniest, but the Jim Caviezel segment is worth watching just for his weird hair. This might be proof that you can just drop the Ron Burgundy character into any situation and it'll be funny.

 

Specials Included in this section are three, electronic press kit-style bits. "Cinemax: The Making of Anchorman" (SD, 9:29) and "Comedy Central Reel Comedy - Anchorman" (SD, 8:31) both cover similar ground and are both so indistinguishable that I can't really distinguish between them, and I just watched them both. Somewhat more interesting is "A Conversation with Ron Burgundy" (SD, 16:41), which is done as a kind of informal interview/lecture, hosted by 'Anchorman' narrator Bill Kurtis.

 

Rehearsals (SD, 9:09) Are more bits of the very talented cast improvising. I believe this is the section where you watch David Koechner fumble the famous "I sh*t a squirrel" speech, over and over again, which is sort of a delight.

 

Playback Video (SD, 5:10) These are videos made for the "remote" news stories. Watch, as David Wain, director of 'Role Models' and member of hilarious comedy troupe Stella, walks behind Paul Rudd and makes a disparaging remark about his smell! Damn that musky Sex Panther!

 

Commercial Break (SD, 2:04) More funny nonsense. If you are going through all of the special features, you might be a little exhausted at this point, and if so, it wouldn't be a crime to skip this.

 

 

HD Bonus Content: Any Exclusive Goodies in There?

 

 

But wait! There's more! They've used the extra storage space on the Blu-ray disc for an even greater amount of special features! Ahhh!

Raw Footage "Good Takes" (SD, 39:26) There is even more riffage to be had! These are extended and alternate takes, which, if you haven't gotten sick of them already, are pretty funny.

 

"Afternoon Delight" Recording Session (SD, 3:12) This is actually pretty charming: footage of Ferrell and the boys recording their rendition of "Afternoon Delight." It goes a long way in proving that there's no task so menial that these guys can't turn it into a marathon of silliness.

 

Happy Birthday Loews (SD, 3:15) This was something they recorded for the 100th Anniversary of the Loews theater chain (which has since merged with AMC). This is surprisingly funny, as Ferrell-as-Burgundy spins a made-up history of the famous chain. Brief but hilarious, and well worth a watch.

 

Cast Auditions (SD, 13:03) This is some great footage of various actors auditioning for the movie. What's surprising is how on-point they are coming into the audition, and how funny they are at improvising. I really cracked up at an extended moment between Fred Armisen, as the disgruntled nightclub owner, and Ferrell. There are some choice moments in here, for sure.

 

Alternate Universe (SD, 4:38) This is tucked away in the "Cast Auditions" section and features actors trying out for OTHER roles than the ones they actually got. While this is interesting and sort of off-topic, there are some gems: most notably Maya Rudolph doing a great, sexy job as the female news anchor Veronica Corningstone (a role that went to Christina Applegate).

 

Table Read 6/2/03 (SD, 18:37) While I thought this was going to be a full-length table read, does give you a look at the movie at its most embryonic form, including some actors subbing for the performers that eventually won out.

 

Promotional Material In this section we get the teaser (HD, 1:50), the trailer (HD, 2:32) and a TV Spot (SD, :17) that proclaims itself the winner of the weekend box office… even though 'Spider-Man' won…

Ron Burgandy is awesomer than Chuck Norris ! :chucks:

You guys watched Schindler's List? I watched a couple of weeks back and is a must watch :thumbsup:

 

Also, check out 12 Angry Men. Its a short and lite movie and a very good concept.

 

seen both and they are very, very well made movie.

If you liked Schundler's list i suggest 'Hotel Rawanda' to you to. almost the same concept and i liked Hotel rawanda more than Schindler's list.
