MJWalker45 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If he did anything other then change his name and outfits, I wouldn't mind watching Will Ferrell's movies. Old School was fine because it was him in little doses, Kicking and Screaming was ok except for his freaking out over coffee, and Talledega Nights was horrible. I only watched it because I was stuck on a plane and the other movie was Lassie re-runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyHubCaps Posted January 28, 2008 Share 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.I'd like to point you to a little movie called Elf. I defy you to watch that movie and not be charmed and not find it funny... except for the last 20 minutes, which kind of sucked.And to try to shift this thing back on-topic, I saw the trailer and though it was cool that the Spurs were there. There is a longer trailer with the names of the teams around a conference room table. They showed some of them closely, but I don't remember which. I wonder how many made up teams there are... I plan on seeing this movie to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman077 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Woah. A comedy about an underachiever? What an original idea. And Will Ferrell's in it? That's going to be a stretch for him, but I think he can do it.Seriously though, I liked Kicking and Screaming, I liked Anchorman, I loved Blades of Glory. But, Talladega nights wasn't that funny, and this is just one sports comedy too many. Sig courtesy of LEWJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMUBrent Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Looking forward to this movie. I like quite a few Will Ferrell movies (Anchorman, Blades of Glory, Old School, Talladega Nights), and I would take him over a "comedian" like Jimmy Fallon any day.

TFoA Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 All I know is, Semi-Pro, judging by the previews (and a sneak preview I saw), will be nothing but gold (if you're a fan of Ferrell.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I still think they are missing a major opportunity by not turning this into a documentary of the current ABA...but I guess that it would only give the league press Joe Newman doesn't deserve.

chuckymack Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Quite honestly, if a Will Ferrell movie is the way to keep getting movie roles for Will Arnett and Woody Harrelson, then keep em coming.Also, Jackie Earle Haley!Jackie Earle Haley's playing the lead role, Rorshacht, in the upcoming 'Watchmen' movie, by the way. It's being directed by Zach Snyder of '300' fame. Yes, I'm a comic-book dork, and yes, I'm super-stoked about it. Sigs are for sissies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I love most of Will Ferrell's movies, except for Blades of Glory, that thing is so forced.Thank you for that link. The first one I did was pretty funny. I like the names of the supporting actors they have in there. I've done in twice and I've drawn Steve Carell, Ben Stiller, and David Koechner... I guess this is Will Ferrell's legacy. (The name of the character in my first test was Ron Merlot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob66 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I saw it, it sucked horribly, I enjoyed the other actors in the movie far more than Ferell. As far as the unis are concerned in the movie the Tropics face the Nets and The Spurs, from what I recall the Nets unis were blue with some red side panels and white stars I think, and the Spurs wore black unis with black lettering and white outlines. The Tropics unis were pretty cool looking for a 70's retro theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eRay Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 i saw it saturday, and i thought they played the pacers too, but i might be mistaken. and yes, everyone else in the movie was better than will ferrell. even the extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
