As of last week, the possibility of a movie based on ‘MacGruber,’ was just an insanely stupid idea, something that was being “looked at.” But now it looks as if it’s about to become insanely stupid reality.
Will Forte tells Jimmy Fallon that the film based on the “SNL” sketch has been written [by Forte, John Solomon, and Jorma Taccone (of The Lonely Island)] . “We’re going to make it in Albuquerque,” he says. “It’s me and Kristin Wiig and cast to be determined.” But he was quick to point out: “It’s maybe a little different than what people are thinking.”
And by that I can only hope he means “not incredibly lame”. They should make it an origin story. It could be two guys sitting on a couch, and one says, “Hey, dude, remember MacGuyver?” It would be… rather short.

“We’re going to make it in Albuquerque”
This “idea” should have took a left at Albuquerque.
This is such an awesome idea! I wonder who Tim Meadows and Kevin Nealon will play!
I think this is a great idea! I mean, look at Night at the Roxbury or the Stuart Smalley movie, they were awesome.
Patty and Selma don’t like this.
C’mon, you all know MacGuyver could make a kick ass movie out of nothing more than a paper clip, a dick joke, and one of the Wayans brothers (the good one). He’s that good.
*turns to chapter 1 of How to Write a SNL Movie by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey*
Hmmmmm… “Just tell the same joke 212 times. THE END.”
When approached for comment, Richard Dean Anderson fashioned a gun out of a box of fruit loops and a paper clip and blew out his brain
This is a worse idea than letting somebody shit on your coffee table.
Based on this and Waldo, Hollywood seems to be making movies specifically to spite the commenters here. That said, it would be really stupid if they made a movie about me fingering Megan Fox.
Is it sad that I always get kind of excited about these movies? Just for a second or two before I come to my senses. But, my first reaction is always to think it will be awesome.
Kind of like this post.
It would start out, a long time ago… in a vagina not so far away… one man… two fingers…
Will Ferrell, Darrell Hammond, Jeopardy movie in 5…4…3…2…

This is gay.
Crappy – so YOU’RE the other person who remembers Riptide! I’ve been waiting a long time to meet you. I’d like to show you my robot I’ve been working on when I’m not fixing my giant helicopter.
This idea is so lame Bill Murray won’t head-butt it.

Wicked. While you’re here, may I give you a tour of the rocket ship I’ve built in my junk yard? I have a trailer that serves as mission control. I like to go on adventures while my white trash family looks at blinking lights and gauges.
