With all the awesome snow lately it’s been tough to go out as often as I’d like when it’s not a short walk or drive away. So, it’s been movie time. Be Kind Rewind, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, Jackie Chan’s First Strike, Follow That Bird, Blades of Glory, and bits and pieces of other movies on TV as well as a ton more episodes of Get Smart. As I mentioned a while ago, I <3 the original Get Smart series and grew up watching it during the 80s on CKVR. I was lucky and got to watch a lot of cool stuff as a young child. Sesame Street, Get Smart, SCTV, Magnum P.I. It was a fun mix :)

I'm still a tad concerned about the new movie but I completely adore Alan Arkin and I know I’m gonna see it first day anyway. If nothing else I will always have the original series on DVD. For anyone on the fence about it the set is really well put together and the quality of the transfer is excellent. I’m only up to Season Two and it’s fun that I haven’t seen many of the episodes that I remember so it’s been all new. What can I say? I love puns. Also, Don Adams and Barbara Feldon were just so perfect together. Oh, and I’ve been a Mel Brooks groupie (and, to a slightly less extent, Buck Henry) ever since I started watching movies and television.
