I love me some Will Ferrell, in my opinion one of the funniest men on the planet today, he repeatedly pushes the boundary of comedy in a way that even the best improv stand up hasn't done in a long time (beginning when Drew Carey beat humour to death as the host on Whose Line Is It Anyway).
Anyhoo, mix Mr. Ferrel with other comedic talents such as Dave Koechner, Paul Rudd and His Comedic Highness the Steve of Carell, we just know that Anchorman 2 is going to be one long laughfest. With a little bit of 'oh no, you didn't' in the middle somewhere.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
So here, for your viewing pleasure, a little teaser for Anchorman 2.
Due to honour, gratitude and a sense of belief in society, a strong tradition has grown in certain areas of Japan to perform the 4th Movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
A beautiful piece itself, which I am sure you'll recognise, is performed below by 10,000 Japanese singers. Yes, 10,000!!
Jimmy B is coming back with what looks like another amazing, action packed. stunning movie.
And for a change, I think I might even go and watch it in the cinema / movie theatre.
I've not been to a cinema since 19 December 2003, when the 3rd part of the Lord of the Rings Saga was released, I just don't like them. Everyone crammed in to a small area, sharing the movie experience with complete strangers - just not my thing.
With the new era of deluxe cinema experiences I think I'd like to take Mrs. Jumblerant out and show her what modern snack eating and soda drinking is all about.
And, in this glorious celebratory year for Queen Elizabeth II, I'll get to see a bit of Ol' Blighty in the process!
I guess its nothing too serious but I have recently become somewhat discombobulated by something that really shouldn't disturb me.
A few newly created fruit.
Yes, I know that fruits are the means by which many plants disseminate seeds. Many plants
bearing edible fruits, in particular, have propagated with the
movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition, respectively; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Including my parents.
So why should my nose get out of joint because we have a few new fruits? Because its odd. It's Dolly the Sheep all over again.

So if you're going to muck around at least take 2 serious fruits and make them into something funtastic - pineapple and kiwi, coconut and banana, strawberry and a guava.
This is what the world can look forward to:
Tangelo - A citrus fruit hybrid of a tangerine and a grapefruit Grapple - Apple that has been specially treated so that it tastes like grapes. Aprium - Complex crossing of a plum and an apricot. Orangelo - A cross between a grapefruit and an orange Plumcot - Another plum/apricot hybrid. Pineberry - A white-looking strawberry with flesh tasting of pineapple.
Maurice Sendak dies at 83; artist and writer best known for "Where the Wild Things Are".
I never read this iconic book as a child, but oddly enough, my wife bought a copy for our 3 year old just last week, so I read it just the other day.
I didn't realise that illustrating a book could be so deep and meaningful, but here is Mr. Sendak explaining his way in life. I found this short video to be even more interesting than most books I've read in the last 5 years;
A stunning, out of the blue, not heard of before shock.
Ricky Gervais, who is not my favorite comedian, although I find his work interesting, came out with an amazing, pilot for a show.The show, which follows care-worker Derek Noakes and his colleagues in a retirement home, was generally well-received by even the most ardent critics of Gervais.
Personally, I was confused at first, then charmed, and then won over.
Its a good pilot - I just wonder what the series will be like.
Actually I'm not. Even though I do tend to live on Facebook over the weekends, he ain't no friend of mine! But the new video he has put up regarding his latest movie “Casa de mi Padre” is very funny.
And I have produced it here for your delectation:
And as long as we're on the subject, here is some more Will Ferrel amazingness:
So you remember in my last post I wrote about the iPad (3) aka The iPad?
Its just down here ↓Anyway, I wasn't the only one to be underwhelmed by the new iPad. This chap went out and did some serious testing of his own.
we decided to set up a little test and see what happens when the iPad 2 and the new iPad are placed side-by-side. Could anyone actually tell the difference? Find out in the video below:
Scary stuff eh? I think we'll be sticking with the iPad 2 for the time being.
And anyway, I'm still waiting for my hover-board and meal in a pill that we were all promised in the last decade!
My favorite TV show of 2011 was Game of Thrones. It had great acting, some very interesting plot lines, and for someone as bitter and twistde as myself, some great 'wow' moments.
Being a Brit I tend to recognise the actors in any UK show due to the limted pool of talent, and here was no exception. However, instead of going with the normal plot of 'he's a well known actor, he'll survive anything', heads come flopping off as if there's no tomorrow!
Definitely worth watching, and if you don't believe me, ask Homer (well Matt G. anyway)
And here's the real thing for my pal 'Roro'who probably still hasn't watched it!
So that was nice. And then I guess he got a deal on some Tabac, so he moved to that.
All well and good. And then Old Spice decided that they actually wanted to make money, and so they started advertising all over the place. IndyCar, posters, banner ads and then they revolutionised TV advertising by created some amazing ads. And some not so amazing ones.
I've been a Formula 1 racing fan for many years now, going back to my childhood in the 80's.
Fast women and loose cars; its what I do.
Anyway, I've been living in a country that doesn't have an F1 presence, for the last 15 years and even though I'm originally a Brit, none of the UK based drivers really excite me.
And then I found him when our eyes met over a YouTube video.
A driver who is hungry for a win, has proven himself in the past, is willing to push the boundaries slightly, and best of all, works for a British F1 team.
Lady and gentlemen, I present to you - Vitaly Petrov. My new Formula 1 driver.
And why the hero part in the blog title? Because as well as having to deal with the British media on a daily basis, garner sponsorship for himself and, it appears, fight for his drive every season, he still has to drive exceptionally fast around a track with other, like-minded nutters.
Sadly Dan Wheldon died in October in Las vegas whilst racing in IndyCar, so these guys are not just fancy hair and interesting accents. This is serious stuff.
