Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

Would you believe?

A Get Smart movie? Reuters is reporting just that. It's been done before, 1980's The Nude Bomb. That film bombed at the Box Office and I remember vividly going to see it. See it was my first date after graduating high school the year before and enlisting in the Navy. Lets just say my date went as well as The Nude Bomb did at the box office.

I'd rather watch the television re-runs to be honest.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Peter Segal, the director of several Adam Sandler movies, will turn the classic TV spy spoof "Get Smart" into a feature. Steve Carell is attached to play hapless secret agent Maxwell Smart.

The series, which ran on NBC from 1965 to 1969 and then on CBS for one season, starred Don Adams as Smart, a.k.a. Agent 86, a spy for Control, fighting the evil forces of Kaos. Warner Bros.' big-screen version will contemporize the setting, with Control falling on hard times and not getting the big government funding other spy agencies, like the CIA, do.

Segal directed the Adam Sandler comedy hits "The Longest Yard," "50 First Dates" and "Anger Management." His other comedy credits include "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" and "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult." Carell was recently in theaters with "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."

"Get Smart" was turned into the 1980 box office dud "The Nude Bomb," which starred Adams, but not his TV sidekick Barbara Feldon (Agent 99) or their boss (Chief), played by Ed Platt, who had died six years earlier. Adams died on September 25.
