92y:

Reconsidering Anchorman

In 2004, Will Ferrell starred in Anchorman, a film about Ron Burgundy: “San Diego’s top rated newsman in the male dominated broadcasting of the 1970’s.” At the time, Slate called it “messy, crude, and brilliant.”

On November 4, a panel of film critics (Jessica Winter, Scott Foundas, R. Emmet Sweeney, Nick Dawson and Christian Lorentzen) will screen the film at 92YTribeca and argue the question: “Was Anchorman an important turning point in contemporary cinema?”

What do you think? Start the discussion early, and reblog your comments.

Also, plans for 11/4.

And, yes, absolutely turning point in contemporary cinema.

Also, screening criteria for potential boyfriends. Can they identify jokes as from Anchorman? No? Next.
