  - Oh. Holy sh*t I read that wrong. - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:23 3
    - So, to answer the actual question: less. Only because Semi-Pro ruined my expectations going forward of any Ferrell movie. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:26
    - Were there parenthesis or something? -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 12:25 1
      - Yes. Kind of like when I see "Spawn." I see "Spawn (dummy)." -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 12:28
  - JUST ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Aug 5, 12:23

- Less...I want to see it less and less with each commerical - amoxy Aug 5, 12:20
- Having seen neither, I'm more anticipating Hot Fuzz. - musubi Aug 5, 12:20 5
  - that's obvious, since it came out 3 years ago. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 12:21 1
    - Considering I see like 5 movies/yr since the kids, that's not a revealing as you'd think. (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 12:23
  - Hot Fuzz is awesome for the first 90% of the movie. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 5, 12:21 2
    - Huh. I thought it sagged in the middle but the beginning and end were fantastic -- nm - amoxy Aug 5, 12:23 1
      - I loved it, but the end really did not wrap up the way I would have liked. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 5, 12:23

    - I quite like it. It's fun, at the very least. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 12:31
    - it did, imo. Bradley Whitford just slays me since its so unlike Bradley Whitford. I'm glad to see it make it to the fall lineup, even if its Fox's - crash davis Aug 5, 12:26 7
      - Should I pick up right after the pilot, or is there a better choice? How many eps have aired? (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 12:31 6
        
        you probably should just as to understand Colin Hanks's relationship with his ex-girlfriend -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:33 1
        
        reagen is right, but I feel you can see the quality arc go up. as to # of eps, I think eight, but imdb should be checked later -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:34
        
        they're pretty self contained. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 12:32 3
        
        Ok, but now it's on your head too, ReyRey. - musubi Aug 5, 12:34 2
        
        whew - if I get in trouble, at least I won't be alone -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:35 1
        
        That kind of response isn't filling me with confidence. (nm) - musubi Aug 5, 12:39
  - Please let her know that she's in our thoughts here. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 5, 12:22 2
    - will do - gracias -- nm - crash davis Aug 5, 12:25 1
      - The whole family is in our thoughts. -- nm - lileve Aug 5, 12:46
