Maybe it’s because I can’t stand Will Ferrell anyway, but c’mon. Naming a journalism school after a fictional character? Oh, geez. :rolleyes: ---

I’ve been hearing about it since it was filming just up the road from my workplace. Most of the NY street scenes were filmed along Peachtree Street in Atlanta. With additional scenes filmed in [Woodruff Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodruff_Park). My workplace was all “Will Farrell (and whoever else ) is filming there!” I just found it an inconvenience. ---

It does seem even here in the UK that it’s getting pushed pretty hard. I’m not sick of it yet, but i’m sort of meh on the first one rather than an actual dislike, so it’s fairly easy to ignore. ---

Oh, geez. :rolleyes: [You’re a bit late on that one.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=708103) Personally, about 50% of my awareness of _Anchorman 2_ comes from the SDMB. If y’all would shut up about it, maybe I wouldn’t get sick of hearing about it. ---

I’m looking forward to it actually. I really enjoyed the fist one. I could use a good comedy right about now. That and I just love Steve Carell’s character. ---

I enjoyed the first one and I’m looking forward to it, but I agree the media blitz has been a bit overboard. Ron Burgundy on ESPN! Ron Burgundy truck commercials! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/am-i-the-only-person-whos-sick-of-hearing-about-anchorman-2/676283.md?page=2)
