It may be a while till I blog again...who knows when the internet is going to be installed at the house...
I went to see "Get Smart" at the movie theater with Jenn tonight and I have not laughed that hard at a movie in a very, very long time! It was completely hilarious! It was based on the TV series of the same name which was made to spoof James Bond and they also used the shoe phone in both the TV series and movie. I loved Anne Hathaway's wardrobe throughout the whole movie.
I've always liked Steve Carell and thought he was very funny, but this...this was one of his bests. I loved him in "The 40-Year Old Virgin", but this was even better...although it is hard to beat the "man-o-lantern" scene....
I've always loved spy movies. When growing up, I pretended to be a lot of things (Miss America, chef, surgeon, astronaut, Olympic swimmer), but I always wanted to be a secret agent as well. I even had a water gun in the shape and style of a .45 pistol (it looked extremely authentic, except for the fact it was yellow, pink, and plastic) and would hide behind trees and soak the dog and parents with it. Perhaps I owe it to all of the James Bond movies I've watched (I've seen every single one!). Bond could kick anyone's butt and still look very dashing and calm. I had a professor who was very surprised and impressed with my James Bond knowledge...I think that's why I got an A in the class!
Jenn: don't forget to look up "deadpanned". Good thing we never had this word during Taboo...
I was telling Jenn that Steve Carell had a very deadpanned way of delivering humor and she looked at me puzzled and asked, "What does that mean?"...I swear it's a word.
