[Slaky]

Anyone seen it? I sure have not.

[PenFoe]

Anyone seen it? I sure have not.

I assume IAN saw it once for each of us.

[Tinker to Evers to Chance]

Anyone seen it? I sure have not.

I assume IAN saw it once for each of us.

He had to see it that many times to start liking it.

The movie was good, but needed a good editor to chop out some of the longer running segments.

[Spoilers]
The fight scene, in particular, should have been halved or quartered.  It tried to top the previous movie's brawl, but instead it just came off as bloated and repetitive.  It was a turd on top of what had been to that point a solid movie with plenty of laughs.

The notion that Burgundy and his team created 24-hour news cycles, complete with breathless weather coverage, wildly speculative "reporting," amped-up car chases, and insipid animal stories was pretty inspired, but it could have been even more cutting.

I seemed to have been the only person in the 1/4 full bijou who laughed heartily at the racial humor. When did it become passé to make fun of black people? A few people uttered uncomfortable titters at the dinner table scene, but previously were fully onboard with laughing at Champ's unwanted same-sex advances. So: Laugh at the gays, ok; but laugh at the blacks, get scorn and off-put nose breathing.
