Get Smart

 

It was shown on terrestrial TV many years back, probably 15 or so years. The time slot .. should be about 2.30pm or 4.30pm, one of those times which are not prime time even for children's movies... the impression that lingers is that one got to watch this series on TV sometime after school.

 

Familiar faces that we see in this movie include that Asian dude from Heroes (Masi Oka) and The Rock.

 

So the premise of the story is secret agent with suit, tie and gadgets, last explored in Johnny English and The Tuxedo.

 

Now, not only was this story really enjoyable to me (yes, I'm rather 'shallow' and undemanding in my choice of movies, to make up for other areas of my life) but it was also delightful to see a series that one has a fond impression of come to the big screen.

 

 
Having first, and the only time, ever seen her in the Princess Diaries 2 (of which, I never even watched The Princess Diaries 1), the second with Julie Andrews, whom most of us would remember from her Sound of Music days.

 

Well that movie never left a very remarkable impression of her on me apart from that I never would have imagined that I'd be over-eager to see another of the movies that Anne Hathaway acts in.

 

With that, after this movie, I never imagined that I'd moe* over her :p Well, after the ballroom dance competition and mansion infiltration scheme (with the evening dress and high-intensity lasers) in this movie, at least.

The witty repartee between her character and Maxwell Smart was also amusing, particularly the phrase "dusty old uterus" that was brought up by her.

 

Although my impression of her in Princess Diaries 2 is rather bland, in this story she portrays a female agent with the typical characteristics of tsundere* ... and although you should all know how this story is going to go, it's enjoyable to see how the process of it gets there...

Ah, and so it seems most apt, that since in a recent entry I mentioned about the concept of moe ... it's only suitable, perhaps even inevitable, that a mention of the concept of tsundere should follow, and so here it is!

*tsundere ツンデレ : Used to describe, especially, girls who act all cold to you when you first get to know them... but then get all spoony** when they warm up to you.
 

When in doubt, always always consult the UrbanDictionary : The only dictionary that you''ll ever need for brutally honest (and accurate) definition of words, without the obfuscating obligatory political correctness.

Might as well I record the definition down here. I've always liked how they make you get a picture and understand things clearly in UrbanDictionary:

	Tsundere is a slang born on the Internet, and it is a word to describe the nature of female anime or game characters. Tsundere is a word combining two words, "Tsun Tsun" and "Dere Dere". Both terms describe attitudes of a person. "Tsun Tsun" is used for cold/blunt/curt attitude, while "Dere Dere" is used when a person becomes spoony in front of his/her lover. (Definition is from the game " Tsuyokisu Cool×Sweet ") Therefore, "Tsundere" is a female character who is usually cold, but she becomes spoony on her lover. Or, she is cold to the main character at first, but she becomes lovestruck later. tsudere tsundere dere dere tsun tsun spoony by rawr i'm a lion Jul 2, 2006

 

 

And so... I've just noticed ...

 

I can't remember having ever moe-d over any actress in my teens and with that, ever in my lifetime, like any regular male should have .. at least once in their lifetime. Just on two-dimensional girls so far ... as everyone should know by now. *Comely anime girl waves and beckons*

 

That brings a scary thought to mind: that my maturity was all along in the "childhood" stage, and I'm only just maturing into my teens now ...
