leopard88 3,197 Posted December 13, 2007 I guarantee - that's funnier than anything in the movie.Seen the movie already??? Wow, tell us how you did that.I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he hasn't seen the movie. Instead, he is making a prediction based upon his experience with previous Will Ferrell movies. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothamite 24,493 Posted December 13, 2007 Yep, that's what I meant.I saw it when it was called TALLADEGA NIGHTS, and I saw it when it was called KICKING AND SCREAMING (don't ask). I think it was the "Overachieving American Man" series. I guess it's more of a Quadrolgy with Semi-Pro.Yes I just made up a word.Sorry, Shakespeare. You didn't make it up, you just misspelled it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leopard88 3,197 Posted December 13, 2007 His "Quadrolgy" is completely different from "Quadrilogy"?Like so. They may mean the same thing, but they're completely different words -- like "big" and "large." I believe "synonym" would be the term to describe them.Now, where IS that thing? Oh, here it is. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
powersurge 65 Posted December 13, 2007 Wouldn't we all just if that were scrolled across the screen as the epilogue?"Senator and Mrs. John Blutarsky, Washington, DC""Nothing is over till we say its over.

B-Rich 1,230 Posted December 13, 2007 Several Points:1. Maybe it's me, but I like some of Ferrell's work. Some of his stuff-- Kicking and Screaming, Bewitched, Old School, and his role in Wedding Crashers-- I could pretty much forget and live without. However the way he pulled off his role in Elf was a hoot, Talladega Nights was pretty funny, and to me Anchorman was rolling on the floor laughing. To me and a lot of my forty-something friends, that movie is almost a classic in the vein of Animal House, Caddyshack, and the lesser-known Hollywood Knights. Add in our typical interest in sports, and we're all looking forward to "Semi-Pro"2. Flame is close; Ferrell and McKay actaully planned a "Mediocre American Man Trilogy". However, I am not sure that this movie is the third; apparently, the first two in the trilogy featured characters with the initials RB and the use of a colon in the title: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. There has been some internet rumors of the third movie being titled: Booby Trap: The Tale of Rusty Butte. Don't know.3. At any rate, the look of the unis in the trailer and on the website is seventies-sharp-- love that Pacific blue, orange and yellow combo for the Tropics. Can't wait to hear the backstory on how they came to be the "Flint Tropics"-- probably Jackie Moon bought a Florida franchise and relocated it....4. Rams80, I would definitely recommend Loose Balls. Great history, lots of backstory, insight, and some REALLY funny stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordie_delini 58 Posted December 13, 2007 Quadrology would be the study of the number 4. A Quadrilogy is a set of four. Ta da - Latin Man to the rescue! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

udubs03 6 Posted December 14, 2007 I must be retarded or something, because I thought Blades of Glory was absolutely flippin' hilarious.I'll join you in your retardedness...Blades of Glory is hilarious. Will Ferrell also does a pretty nice job in Stranger than Fiction, IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary 789 Posted January 28, 2008 Bumping this up, I absolutely want to see this movie. Looks very funny, reminds me of every other Ferrell movie though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDuffy26 0 Posted January 28, 2008 The movie does look pretty neat, most notably because I love all of those start up leagues (ABA, AFL, and WHA) that actually made it more than one season. I wouldn't mind seeing a non-comedy movie about a league like that, much like a "The Natural" or "Bull Durham" sports movie. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well... um.... was I supposed to say something?...Well, that's one heck of a "Throwback" jersey. Was that stripe really the "in" thing in the '70s? It's a good thing, based on the trailer, that this is a basketball movie because who knows what we would think if this was a golf movie.... 3-wood? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadwayBlueshirt 4 Posted January 28, 2008 Will Ferrell is a great actor. He's also only acted in one movie, Stranger Than Fiction, and it was fantastic.Everything else isn't acting, it's being a jackass in :censored:ty movies. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
