"Missed it by THAT much"- Maxwell Smart


Watched Get Smart with the girls today! We were sitting right at the back laughing our heads off (I think we were the only ones laughing so hard (except for the one old lady infront of me) everyone else was fairly quiet). It was fun. Catherine joined us (pretty rare, her going to uni and that). Yeah, I've been waiting for the film to come out since I knew they were actually MAKING one. Though Steve Carell was more Steve Carell than he was Maxwell Smart, which is a tad dissapointing, dont get me wrong, I love Steve Carell, but I was hoping for more of the classic Don Adam's Maxwell Smart humour. At least they tried to use some of the old...I dont want to say it.. "catch phrases" but yeah...like "would you believe...?" or "missed it by that much" but I think they only used the "The old [insert whatever situation the bad guy has gotten Max caught into] trick" once, that was always a favourite of mine. All in all a hilarious film. Next- Dark Knight. Oh I also drove Jenn home during my driving lesson, I think she's OK XD.

In other news: my Heroes season 1 came today! To my surprise it was in a SLIM CASE, I wanted the thicker cardboard flip over case. but oh well. Still yay! Heroes! I finally get to watch it all, I missed a few episodes when it was on tele. oh and MASI OKA (Hiro) was in Get Smart, That guy is funny! (Random side fact- he was a Digital Effects artist in the last three Star Wars movies, how cool is that?!).

In more news: Jenn and I are going to our Training session for Animania and SMASH! tomorrow. Problem is, they're both at the same time, gonna be a LONG day...

man i laughed my head of!!!! i enjoyed the film. i would also lik to add that when steve craell was in Oz promoting his film, he and the filmmakers did that film in honor and respect of the original 1960s version of get smart show. carell also said that he and the film makeres didn't want to copy the origninal shows coz he said that would ruin the 1960s classic version of get smart and possibly the fans would be disappointed. so the film was sort of a dedication to the tv show. and the good thing was that it had mel brooks help as the producers of the film( he produced the film "the producers") who created the 1960s tv show Get smart.

i liked the film. it was cheesy! and i'm happy that they chose careell coz he really does look similar to don adams and he's funny. i enjoy his comedic acting skills.

btw, i had a great time too and thanx nhi for the kebab roll! shows that u really care!lov ya gurlfriend!
