Okay, that was pretty cliché, but I just recently found out that they have decided to cast Anne Hathaway as agent 99 in the new Get Smart movie, which is freaking awesome and Anne-tastic. I already knew that they were planning on having Steve Carrell play the part of Max, and while he is a perfect candidate for the part, he just isn’t hot enough (at least to me) to have prompted me to write a journal entry.
Checking around for a little more details about the movie, I came across The Get Smart Page. It is a poorly designed site, but has a lot of information (good and bad) about the show. It appears the site’s maintainer has obtained a copy of the movie script, and is unhappy with it. From what I can tell, his biggest problem with the new movie is that they’ve taken Max, who in the old series was a confident, bumbling fool, and turned him into an insecure, bumbling fool. Hopefully the movie turns out much better than he has interpreted from the script.
And back to some more exciting news: Time Life will be releasing the full original series on DVD soon. Get Smart is possibly one of the greatest comedies of all time; though, I would say it’s hard for me to decide between it and Scrubs. In fact, I’m almost as excited now as I was when I heard Scrubs was being released to DVD. I’ll just have to start saving now so I can afford to buy it.

So, I just barely found out that you have yourself a blog from reading a comment you left on Billis’s’s’s’s’s blog… hehe.
Believe it or not, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Get Smart… I’ll have to check it out sometime. I’m disappointed that Steve Carrell’s hotness wasn’t enough to elicit a blog post dedicated solely to his hotness.
Also, I realize that this post is 7 months old, but I like commenting on old stuff.
