Funny avatar. I guess you are technically in compliance with your rule.

Re: So I finally watched \"zoolander\"..
 

I thought Will Ferrell could get boring on SNL, but I thought Anchorman was great fun, and so was Old School. I didn't think I was going to like either one.

I don't like Adam Sandler at all, and think Ben Stiller is reasonably talented but mostly just fairly likeable. There's something kind of Steve Guttenberg about him in that he always seems almost overmatched by even very unexceptional material, but he's a little better and more likeable. If he's writing his stuff, he should fire his writer and get some new ones. Meet the Parents was a huge disappointment, and I had wanted sooo much to like it. I thought he was great in Something About Mary, but I'd just as soon go see a Paulie Shore movie as his Dodgeball movie.

I might one day give Zoolander a try, and I'll probably give Starsky and Hutch a try. I have a feeling I should try S&H first, because Zoolander looks like it could put me off him forever.

S&H sucks.

Zoolander is funny, not because of Stiller (who is funny in it, although I dislike him in general) but because of Owen Wilson. The more you watch Zoolander, the funnier it gets.

See I don't like any of the Old School, Anchorman, Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers movies (am I forgetting any?) much at all, but I loove Zoolander. I agree that it gets funnier with repeat watchings.

and its just as I suspected, all the people who said this was one of the funniest comedies ever, don't have a very good sense of humor.

Thats the only reason I finally watched it, was cuz so many different people would talk about how its ben stillers best movie, and oh even if you hate ben stiller you will love zooland, its top 5 comedy of all time, etc. ugh. I wont say it was awful, there were funny parts, but for the most part, it was boring, and not that funny. Now that I've seen it, I'll never see it again.

oh, and yet another unfunny will ferrell movie. With the exception of his small part in "old school" and a cameo in wedding crashers, has he even been in anything worth watching? I don't get why hes so hyped as being awesome. I never watched him on SNL, cuz SNL isn't funny, so I dont think it could be from there either.

Zoolander = funniest movie of all time and it's not even close

Will Ferrell = very funny

Re: So I finally watched \"zoolander\"..
 

Ironically, I agree with everything you said. All of the thoughts you've had I used to have. I was even forced into watching zoolander by a friend. Afterwards I was like "dumbest movie ever". Then, for some odd reason, after ending up in a situation where I had to watch it a second time, it became mildly amusing. It creeps on you. Before you know it you will actually laugh at the movie and start to love it. I know it sounds odd but it's true. And ya, will ferrell sucks.

Re: So I finally watched \"zoolander\"..
 

I think movies like zoolander are (for the most part) based on expectation...

I went into this movie thinking I would hate it, and I think it's f'n genius. I have a feeling I would have liked it less if I went into it thinking it would be amazingly funny.

Re: So I finally watched \"zoolander\"..
 

Zoolander: No, Matilda, we don't think we're in some machine in outer space contacting Earth.

Hansel: "Helloooo.. Heh-Helooo"

Zoolander: Oh! Snap!
