Since Seeing Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

I saw a stupid movie just four years ago. Will Ferrell starred in it, and he’s a funny guy.. The plot was so insipid I barely liked the show. In Iceland it takes place, where Lars and Sigrit vie with Eurovision singers in a contest with their song. The movie played on Netflix during Covid times. I listened and endured their vulgar “Ja Ja Ding Dong.” As I remember it, the dumb song kind of rhymes. That film was this American's first and only taste of a competition Europe likes a lot. I’m sure this famous contest isn’t a huge waste of time like that lame film that had me thinking “What??” I bet that Eurovision is a wonderful event. I even heard on Youtube this year’s winner Nemo sing “The Code,” a catchy tune. My time was better spent with “The Code” than the “Fire Saga.” Nemo is supremo.

Andrea, what a creative approach to the contest, using “that lame film” that “was this American's first and only taste of a competition Europe likes a lot.” You were positive on Eurovision at the end, and your “Nemo is supremo” was brilliant :) Congratulations on your podium win!

It's a terrible movie, and I am surprised Silent One liked the movie

I’m not a fan of Ferrell for the most part. He is ok but leans more toward dumb and dumber humor. Good poem pondering the distasteful take on Eurovision and the unfamiliarity with the event.

Yeah I am not into dumb and dumber humor. I am not sure I like any of Fellell's movies but I actually like lots of comedies. Such as the one called Anyone but You that takes place in Australia.

It was really funny... I think you need to understand the humour... I guess you are not in to that kind of humour..

As clunky as Will Ferrell's stuff often is --- that's how edgy the Eurovision contest is. ~ Just sayin,' 'Way Out There'

I heard that Europeans liked the parody with Ferrell in it, but to me the movie wasn't my kind of humor. So how is Eurovision edgy?

Andrea, you are so very versatile and have created a great story of personal familiarity with the contest. Really well done and fun to read.

Delightful informative read. First I heard of the contest. Sounds like I have been missing some lovely entertainment. I guess Will Ferrell is alright...I just never left Laurel and Hardy -- shows how dated I am.
