HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A FUCKING MOVIE!!!@!

It seems a couple times each month we get updates on sequels in development for Anchorman, Zoolander, and Old School. How they don't know if they are going to happen, they can't get funding, they can't get a script.  Production dates keep getting pushed back.  These are the people that we put on the pedestal as the upper echelon of the creative force and they are saying that they can't put something together for a few million dollars?   Will Ferrell, you just made $20 million on your last movie, Anchorman 1 cost $26 million and you can't get funding for it?

Meanwhile dozens of filmmakers out there are taking chances on shoe string budgets and maxed out credit cards and getting no way to showcase their film because Ben Stiller decides he wants to screen Reality Bites at Tribeca for its 15th anniversary.  Way to remember the good times Ben by saying those times are impossible now.

I guess it's okay if they just don't want to do it, maybe they are taking the stand that they don't like sequels.  Or maybe they just want to leave the past where it is and move onto different projects.  How do you explain Ben Stiller then though?  I'd hope he'd want to go back to his roots at some point if he really cared.  You don't think a good amount of people would like a Zoolander sequel you have enough time to do a 3rd Meet the Parents, and they might consider it actual thought worthy work. They could hate the character too.
