I was sure that it was spelled with a K but everyone was spelling with a CH.

[Holicheese]

And yes, if everyone was jumping off a bridge, I would do it too!

Netflix has Get Smart the series on DVD.
Better just to watch the real thing.
I noticed the other day that Hogan’s Hero’s is on either TV Land or Nick at night now.
I’m gonna have to start DVR’ing them While it lasts.
I’m surprised that in this PC age they would even show that series again.

when Smart meets an agent who is stationed inside a tree. That guy — the sap? — is played by Bill Murray, but instead of playing it straight while discussing the next mission he whines about being stuck in a tree, which ruins the joke.

That's what the original 13 (I think that was the number) did all the time in the original series.

He is very much reformed, and still a good actor.

[Walkingfeather]

well all I know is that it is good that they are actors because they see the dailies and early screening and know that they are dogs, but then because of contractual obligation they have to fly around the world going on every talk show promoting it. That is where the real acting comes in.

[Holicheese]

I wonder if they actually admit it to themselves though or in their eyes they think it is a masterpiece?

[Jeff Chandler]

I forgot to add him. Adam Sandler movies (except for Happy Gilmore) are not allowed in my house.

I disagree. The Waterboy is the one good Adam Sandler movie.

[Holicheese]

I disagree in spades. I hated The Waterboy. I think Happy Gilmore is a funnier movie from start to finish.

[Unlikely Hero]

I really enjoyed Nat Treas 2. Loved the first one too. Goofy fun, with a little faux history mixed in.

[Holicheese]

I really hated it. What is up with Nick Cage’s plastic surgery? He has no wrinkles from the forehead down to his nose and then some upper lip. Then he has those huge fake teeth.

a very wise hollywood man once said:

making bombs doesn't ruin your career, passing on hits does!

[Jeff Chandler]

I think Happy Gilmore is a funnier movie from start to finish.

Oh yeah? Well did Happy Gilmore have crunchy little grilled gators? Huh?

[Holicheese]

No, but it did have a one eyed gator that ate Chubbs hand!
Did Water Boy have Bob Barker punching Adam Sandler in the mouth?

[Jeff Chandler]

Happy Gilmore is the Devil.

[Larry Lucido]

Loved Tennessee Tuxedo too! (And it almost rhymed with my name).

[Jeff Chandler]

[Larry Lucido]

I wonder if Norm McDonald could have pulled this off?

[alarm rider]

Since there are very few men left in Hollywood, white males can only be heroic if they are lefty twits when not acting.

[Holicheese]

What the?
