I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly . . . Oh! Is the camera rolling? Well, then, let the broadcaster finish his drink before delivering the news. Which he does, on camera, without shameand thats the way Will Ferrell tears up the rest of 2004s Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. (He’s abetted by Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and Fred Willardall of them excellent in polyester and plaids.) In 1970s San Diego, the arrival of a hot, blonde, and actually capable woman (the very game Christina Applegate) is more than a threat to this cologne-addled crewits downright emasculating. First the women take our jobs, then they make us give up our free-loving, jazz-fluting freedom! But they will never, ever take away our bottle of Sex Panther musk, which sadly remains illegal in nine countries. Outdoor movie screens at dusk. (PG-13) BRIAN MILLER
