Parley and Prate

If this is real, this guy makes the AIG execs look positively angelic.

At least they are open about being vilified thieves.

Apparently you can pay $50 for Blackberry service and still eat on my dime.

Movie Review: Get Smart

Posted on November 17, 2008 by Maber

I can honestly say there was not a single moment of this movie that I didn’t enjoy.

Most movies have one or two parts, you know – even the great movies have some cheesy line, some stupid moment where you just think, okay, we could have done without that. I don’t remember feeling that even once. It was witty and exactly what you would expect from a comic genius like Steve Carell. In fact, about halfway through the movie I decided to start writing down lines I thought were funny. I had to stop after just a few minutes because I had to keep pausing to keep up. If I had one word to describe this movie, it would be “I would SO watch this again!” And also, “I can’t think of a single word to describe this movie! I have to use entire sentences! And even break them apart! With exclamation marks! Just so you! Understand! How FREAKING AWESOME this movie! Is!”

My favorite parts:

“When we argue, the terrorists win.”

“I’ve been waiting for this since Nixon.”
“Bring it on, I’ve got a new pacemaker, I could go all day!”

“Sir, I’m sure whatever he’s doing is vital to the nation.”
“Goodnight, Moon. Goodnight cow jumping over the moon.”

“Bruce, I will smash you in the face.”
“Thank you!”

“Still, it’s a shame about all those dead movie stars.”
“Ah, yes. What will we do without their razor sharp political advice.”

And the entire “New Guy” scene.

I don’t like to watch movies a whole lot, because I just get bored with them. But this movie made the journey of watching it so much fun, it might just rival Hitchhikers in frequency (if I could ever find the DVD!).
