I have some sad news to report, which is why I have this tear drop tattoo: Adam McKay has announced via Twitter that Paramount has passed on Anchorman 2. (Do you think if it had been 2010, Nixon would have announced his resignation on Twitter?) Paramount owns the project, so it can’t be made at another studio.
The question is, how sad should we be? Sure, I probably would’ve bought a ticket to Anchorman 2, but Adam McKay and Will Ferrell always have a billion projects in development at any given time, so it’s not like we won’t see the jokes that would’ve gone into Anchorman 2 somewhere else. It would’ve been nice to see that cast back together now that they’ve all become movie stars in their own right, but as a wise man once told me, you can’t build a house in the past and try to live there, and you can’t sleep at our frat anymore, you’re 29.
The question is, why would Paramount pass? I did a quick search for the last Paramount project I covered on FilmDrunk, and oh would you look at that, it was the f*cking magic eight-ball movie. They passed on a project millions of people want, but plan to spend millions on one NO ONE IN THE WORLD WANTS. Does anyone think we’ll actually ever see a magic 8-ball movie? Might as well feed the money to David Lynch’s cow. I don’t know how a person who makes these kind of decisions can feed himself, let alone be allowed to run a company. So do me a favor and write your congressman, and tell them everyone at Paramount should be thrown in retard prison.

Burnsy, American poet.
Go fuck yourselves, Paramount.
*holds back tears*
Excuse me… I need to go buy a suit.

The biggest problem in Retard Prison is that everyone has shivs. They all got the short end of the stick.
Boy, that didn’t escalate quickly enough.
Sarah Palin believes movies are fucking miracles but disagrees with you trying to imprison her son.
Paramount hires executives from the toilet store.
. . . now that they’ve all become movie stars in their own right. . .
None moreso than Lobster Dog. I heard he’s banging Paris Hilton’s chihuahua nowadays.
When reached for comment Anchorman cast mate Vince Vaughan told an ICE CREAM CONE “I want to be on you. . . I want to be on you.”
Oh no, Lobster Dog is gonna’ get crabs. :(
Retard prisons only have three walls.
Retard Prison guards are armed only with Paddle Balls and strobe lights.
Retard Prison showers are the site of many Gang-Huggings
So basically I set ‘em up and Patty B knocks ‘em outta the f’n park?
I can live with that.
Paramount Execs demand that their meetings be catered with Rwandan cuisine and Pepsi Clear.
G’D IT! I blame Michael Cera.
Retard prisons don’t need security fences, the guards just tie the retards shoelaces together. They’ll never escape!
Retard Prison? I smell a new TLC show.. oh wait thats right they’re already doing it. Check your TV guide for the exciting new season of Celebrity Rehab!
