‘Anchorman 2’ trailer has it all: Bowling balls, scorpions, and a suspected vampire

By Adam Rosenberg Published October 23, 2013

Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 news team return on December 20, 2013 in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, and the latest trailer is here to give you a better sense of what’s up with the bumbling foursome. They’ve left the uncivilized lands of San Diego to lend their talents to the 24-hour news channel GNN, based in New York City. Nothing seems to have changed though. Ron, Brian, Champ, and Brick all still possess that lovable blend of sweet naiveté and inappropriate ignorance that made the first movie and endless font of beautiful one-liners.

You definitely get a sense of that in this new trailer. You can also see hints of some potential showstopper moments. Check out that brief snippet of what appears to be a full-blown, all-hands-on dance number. Why are the guys running through Central Park brandishing weapons? Another news team pile-on, perhaps? Also, why exactly is Ron feeding an oversized milk bottle to a shark?

Netflix says it has used AI in over 300 titles and there’s no stopping it now

AI in hollywood is no longer just en experiment.

The Hollywood argument over whether AI belongs in film and television production may already have been overtaken by reality. Netflix has confirmed that its creative partners used generative AI workflows across roughly 300 titles in 2026, with the largest concentration of work happening during post-production.

Keep in mind this number describes AI-assisted production workflows and not 300 completely machine-generated films and shows. Regardless, it does show how quickly the technology has moved beyond isolated experiments.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical

Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.

In an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the premiere of The Odyssey, Nolan explained that he still doesn't own a smartphone, despite living in a world where QR codes, digital tickets, and messaging apps have become everyday necessities. His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
