Anchorman 2 The Legend Continues 720p Mkv WORK

Nine years ago, the first "Anchorman" was a genuine cult hit, one of those films - like the far more legendary "The Big Lebowski" - that only become an almost-memorized, repeat-as-needed favorite thanks to endless TV showings and DVDs. But how do you do a sequel, after all these years?
Nearly 10 years after the first film - and 40 or so after Ted Baxter -- the clueless anchorman stuff isn't exactly fresh. Some of the film's political jabs at the right wing - they make Ron's new employer a big-bucks Australian, in case you don't get the Fox News digs - are too obvious.
What makes Anchorman as legendary as its title suggest is a quotability and fun quotient that exceeds that of other Will Ferrell movies and other comedies in general. The memorable lines of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy are as numerous as the main character's purported leather-bound books. You don't have to throw a dart far on Google to find a trendy t-shirt with one its lines or a YouTube video tribute to its quotability.
Narrated by legendary newsman Bill Kurtis, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues catches us up from the 1970's to the early 1980's. Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) and his lovely wife Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) are now in New York as a husband-and-wife anchor team. When their old-school boss Mack Harken (the pitch-perfect Harrison Ford) passes over Ron to offer Veronica the primetime anchor chair, Ron flips out, leaves her and their clueless son (newcomer Judah Nelson), and ends up back in San Diego drunk and on the mic at Sea World. He gets a renewed chance to read the news again when a cable producer (Spider-Man character actor Dylan Baker) offers Ron a job on the graveyard shift of GNN, a cable channel backed by an Australian airline magnate (The Campaign's Josh Lawson) dedicated to the revolutionary new concept of 24-hour news.
