Ever since seeing it in the theater, my favorite background item is during Ron Burgundy's "Glass case of emotion" scene. Brian has on his desk a simple unsolved 2 X 2 Rubik's Cube sitting on his desk. Such a wonderful tell of character sitting right there for everyone to see.
I may even write up a post on the absurd Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie- a film comprised solely of footage that was not used in the main film. It is pretty amazing that they had that much extra material and subplots that a whole extra movie could be made. Although I can see why most of the footage was scrapped- there's only one really good scene in it- Brick is eating a "falafel hot dog with cinnamon and bacon" he got out of the "food basket at the end of the line." But since they don't exist, Ron tells him it's just a used coffee filter with cigarette butts, and Brian tells him the food basket is just a garbage can. Brick simply laughs and continues eating it.
All right, so this lasted longer than I thought it would.
