Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

20100622:
What a collection of actors. A good small laugh here and there. I like the spoofs of West Side Story. After reading the production notes, while it might reduce the humor and make a movie harder to film, a scripted take followed with improvised takes makes adds a different sort of style. Good enough comedy, especially if you're a fan of Will Ferrell.

Main:
LOL: 60% of the time, it works every time.

20 scenes
Fell asleep soon after "I'm Ron Burgundy?" (end of 8).
Though my eyes were open and closed during the "yazz" flute (scene 9)
I woke up at Corningstone's sign off (part of 14).
Thus, I watched scenes 9 through 14 over after finishing the movie.

Credits:
Credits roll with scene takes. The scene takes end when the songs start rolling. Then at the end there's a scene that follows after the first encounter with the second best news team.

DVD Menu:
Note, each page in the DVD menu has a short line from one of the characters.

Special Features:
*Bloopers - most are okay, some good ones
*"Afternoon Delight" music video - haha
*A Conversation with Ron Burgundy - pretty good watch
*Ron Burgandy at the MTV Movie Awards -
"My first question for you is. You are electric."
Ron just interviews Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, which is a little funny.
*ESPN Audition - Ron Burgundy auditions for "Espin." Sort of funny.
*Deleted Scenes - most are alternate scenes. so many. the best one was "Secret Admirer." Second best was "Ron's Interview Style." Actually, "Doug or Glenn" might be second best. So many though...
*Cast just has information on the main cast. I only skimmed through Will Farrell.
Filmmakers is also just text.
*Production Notes - I read the majority. Started skimming at the end where they talked about the set and how they didn't feel the need to accurately portray everything in the 70's. But to get the feel.
