Zoolander...2

I have never seen Zoolander.

One of my friends in the military said at his base they used to literally watch this movie every single night, and as a result it became his favorite movie.

I think it's kind of like say, Super Troopers (which came out around the same time), in that it doesn't really hold up if you're looking for more than it really is. I really like the movie but totally can see why some don't.

Lamp said Family Stone is "likable" and better than Meet The Parents -- gotta side w/ Lamp on both counts

na wai meet the parents is super lol

meet the parents is pretty good, zoolander's freakin great... i like ben stiller a lot! he's one of those guys where my opinion of him doesn't degrade at all no matter how much crap he churns out. when he has the right material he's hilarious.

btw lol @ extended the corrections digression in the middle of the zoolander 2 thread

so ilx omg

should I watch it?

i haven't revisited it because i don't feel pressure about being ostracized by a bunch of people that think The Corrections is a good book

erica how have u never seen zoolander, do u not watch tv

haha max otm

i have been posting to ilx 4 2 long

LOL why is it one of those movies that's always on? I watch TV but I guess I don't really flick much. Either I watch when I know what's going to be on or on Netflix/Hulu.

I know it's weird that I haven't seen it tho esp since I'm pretty sure I'd really like it.

yeah its on all the time, prob the best viewing experience is just to stumble upon it

had no idea this many ilx ppl hated the corrections

i like ben stiller a lot! he's one of those guys where my opinion of him doesn't degrade at all no matter how much crap he churns out. when he has the right material he's hilarious.

crix are hatin' this thing

i had to walk around the NYC premiere blockade at Alice Tully Hall last night (to get to some experimental queer films). There were star photos being taken inside, thought i saw Stiller's head.

Will probably see this Friday, albeit with super low expectations.

Just saw this. I enjoyed it, plenty of funny bits. Don't know why it's getting panned. Sure, there's no coherent plot but who expected after the first?

I remembered finding the first one funny when it came out, but I revisited it 2 or 3 years ago and wanted to stick a screwdriver in my ear.

Leonard Maltin gets feisty

Edelstein:

How bad is Zoolander 2? It’s Batman and Robin bad. It’s so bad that it makes you feel sorry for the scores (literally) of celebrities who show up in cameos, even the ones (Anna Wintour, Tommy Hilfiger, Susan Sarandon, Ariana Grande, Kimye ...) who actively resist your sympathy, whom you maybe want to see taken down a peg.

Stiller gets away with targeting low-hanging fruit because he understands chronic narcissism from the inside...

wait who has a grudge to settle with Susan Sarandon?

she's been pretty damn irritating over the last 20 years, off screen usually

off the movie screen that is

i thought the first movie was funny. not really wanting to see this in a theater but a friend's house w some pizza and beer sounds good.

filled with puerile and unfunny gags; along with gratuitous cameo appearances by everyone from Katy Perry to Willie Nelson

see all this sounds awesome

all i want to know is, is David Bowie in this one?

friend's house w some pizza and beer sounds great!

Anchorman 2 (and other lame years-too-late comedy sequels i guess) seem to have lowered people's expectations going in but somehow even those low expectations haven't been met.

anything gif-worthy in this one?

saw the first one over some homemade burritos and beer. i expect i will do the same with this one. surely while shooting the shit

Fucking thing sucks.

Thanks for taking one for the team, flappy bird.

The first one is perfect, shot for shot, word for word. This thing is a mess, and it knows that it sucks. The endless celebrity cameos are an attempt to make up for weak jokes and an aimless script. OMG IT'S NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON! Fuck you. They run with the frivolousness of the whole thing and try to make that the joke, like 22 Jump Street or Anchorman 2. Very frustrating. Oh well.

yeah well fuck you for even seeing it at all

i liked this a lot! so funny. i might even prefer it to the first one. it's on Hulu.
