    > There was the rather strange Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, released shortly after the feature film came out in 2004. Essentially, director Adam McKay had shot so much material while making Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy, and abandoned so many story ideas (including a whole subplot about a fictional terrorist organisation) that it was cut into a separate 90-minute release. (It wasn’t great, but an interesting curio nonetheless.)

    I miss when studios and directors would actually edit movies properly. If Anchorman were released today on Netflix, it would have been a 2 hour 15 minute slog, with 10 minutes of laughs here and there, rather than the sharp and hilarious 90 minute comedy that it was.
