I saw Get Smart in it's first showing at the local cinemas and it was fun. I saw it on a Saturday night at the local cinemas with a near full house, and it was fucking brilliant.

It was pretty vacant when I went to see it, but I still enjoyed that more than I thought I would. Hathaway has her moments and she had plenty of them in that movie. She and Carell had some great chemistry and Alan Arkin kicked ass as The Chief.

Alright, I'm piking. See you in 7 hours.

They will fight us with their chopsticks.

Fork those cunts.

Have a good one, Reggo!

Night

 

[phillyfan26]

All well and good, but who is it?

American actress named Alexis Biedel, who GAF loves.

 

[LMP]

Yep. Later, Reg.

:brandishes cane:

Bring it on.

I WILL start posting nearly naked pictures of men if this doesn't stop

 

[GibsonGirl]

I can so cope with that.

Well.....maybe. I do enjoy the really cold though.

Picture this.

It's 9:00 AM. You have a boring sociology lecture (and you have a midterm the following day, so you don't want to skip it). There is a metre and a half of snow outside, but the ploughs haven't been through yet. So you beat a path out for yourself and somehow manage to stagger to the bus stop. Then the wind picks up, driving ice pellets FROM HELL into your face. It also brings the temperature down to -35C. You wait forever for the bus to arrive. It's twenty minutes late (as I said, the ploughs haven't been through.) You arrive at uni half an hour later, only to find that morning lectures have been cancelled, due to the weather.

Still think you can cope?

I've got a great pic of naked dancing women...... Anyone interested?

 

[phillyfan26]

Stills from Brokeback Mountain.......probably best not to. I don't want to be banned.

Were there any tracks in the snow behind you?

Did you not know that they mean the same thing?

Yea I know.

I love it when that happens to me! Except when it happens to me in Texas it's a lot different then when it happens in Indiana. For instance the above scenario would happen in Indiana.

In Texas, you could probably still see the grass peaking through the snow when they'd cancel classes.

I don't know if I saved that picture or not.

I think it could have benefited from a longer running time, to flesh it out. A lot of the plot felt.....contrived wouldn't be the right word, but too easily glossed over.

The though of a sequel wouldn't disappoint me.

I had second row tickets for the Backstreet Boys the other night.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Sorry, I speak Kiwi. Queens English.

Not that confusing. Actually it makes pretty good sense compared to some of that American stuff.

True...I never travel that much...so I wouldn't know much of anything

Sounds better than summer in Melbourne. 41C some days.

She looks like a hungry Lindsay Lohan.

I love that one of the Backstreet Boys is losing his hair already.

And you're admitting this on a public forum?

Is it uphill both ways?

It wasn't funny enough to be a great comedy or thrilling enough to be a great action flick... tonally, it didn't work for me. Carell's a bumbling goof, yet he can still kill Russians pretty easily. The script wasn't too good, like you said, but once they started the mission, it got pretty enjoyable. Bill Murray's cameo didn't hurt.

If they got new screenwriters, which I doubt would happen, I'd be down with a sequel. It's open, but if it's meh, then why go for it?

But he'll always have his talent to fall back on.

Says he who admitted his love of the Corrs on one.....
