<-------- As you can see, I'm a fan, especially of Brian Fantana.
But, yeah, the entire movie killed me. It seems pretty polarizing as I know people who laughed once or twice or even walked out, where as I was in pain afterwards because I laughed the entire way through. Hard.
Something to salivate over in DVD country, this, from an interview with McKay, Ferrell, et al, made me laugh so unstoppably:
Koechner: They’re all meeting in the cafeteria to plot against Veronica, and the way you shot it, you get right away that it’s surreptitious. It’s just low angles, and tight shots on their faces, and it goes all the way around the table, and they’re all just adamant...
Ferrell: “She’s got to be stopped. She HAS to be.”
Koechner: ... and I’m sure it’ll show up on the DVD.
Ferrell: “She’s writing her own stories! I didn’t even know you could do that!”
Koechner: ... and then there’s this whole other comedy piece that takes over in the end. It’s just beautiful.
Ferrell: Yeah, finally at the end of the scene, someone’s like, “By the way, Brick, what is that you’re eating?”
McKay: And he’s like, “Oh, it’s just one of those falafel hot dogs with M&Ms on it.”
Koechner: “With bacon bits and cinnamon.”
McKay: And it’s like, “What do you mean ‘one of those’? Those don’t exist. That’s a used coffee filter.” And he’s like, “I got it out of the food basket at the end of the line there.”
Ferrell: “Brick, that’s a garbage can.”
Koechner: I loved how he would just laugh, then go back to eating it.
Ferrell: “Well, with the food around here, I might as well be eating garbage,” and he’s just laugh and then keep eating.
McKay: He was frickin’ hilarious.
Koechner: What killed me was the way you would go way down, then way back up with it. “What do you mean one of thooooooooooose? Thooooooooose don’t exist.” That to me was funnier than anything else, because when...
McKay: I miss that scene a lot. That was a funny scene.
Fucking classic.
