Wow! This announcement is causing, uhh, pleating in my pants, is, uh, causing a bit of an illusion here. It's not me, its the pleating.
I honestly couldn't be more excited. In my opinion Anchorman was easily the most quotable movie of the 2000's...more so than Superbad, Knocked Up, The Hangover, Wedding Crashers, The Breakup, Pineapple Express, Old School, and narrowly, narrowly edging out The 40 Year Old Virgin. And honestly, that's all I look for in a comedy, can I carry out entire 10 minute conversations with my friends in just movie quotes? That's it, if the answer is yes, the movie has done their job.
That's why a part of me wishes they'd just release the DVD in conjunction with the theatrical release, I'd love to get a jump start on memorizing the script line for line, like right away. It's always awkward those first few weeks after a movie is released when people are running around quoting lines, but not quite getting the quotes right, and then 6 months later when the DVD is released and you've all watched it you end up with that awkward, "shit, so all those times we laughed at that line for the last half year, it was just made up?" I mean there was a year long period where two of my friends attempted to quote the Joker from Batman, and then the DVD came out and everyone thought they were idiots. Didn't get a single line right...Sure they had the main points, like "A Year Ago," and "you look nervous," but they couldn't have been more wrong about the rest of the words that made up the sentences...which was hilarious in it's own right.
