Anchorman; The Legend of Ron Burgundy

I've been at a pretty low ebb all week and was flicking through channels last night trying to find something to make me laugh of a Saturday night, when I stumbled upon this.

I don't go to the cinema much any more, and stopped reading reviews years ago - at least until after I've seen the film (I am currently reading Pauline Kael's film reviews 1965 to 1967, but I digress). This means that I can come across some films many years old as though they've only just been released.

Anyway, I'd never heard of this before. And I barely know Will Farrell or anyone else in it, though I see one of them is on the front page of the Observer Magazine this morning!

If you have similarly been living in monastic conditions vis-a-vis oddball American movies of the noughties, I should tell you this is absolutely bonkers, in an Airplane kind of way, and cheered me up considerably...
