Sneak Preview: I Spy (A Dud) I got invited to attend a sneak preview of the new Eddie Murphy-Owen Wilson movie "I Spy" this evening and I went into it with an open mind, a blank slate, no real expectations or knowledge about it (except that I do like Owen Wilson)... now perhaps you should be thinking, hmmm, wonder why he even bothered to mention all that... well, the movie wasn't good. There, I said it. I hate being negative about movies, but this movie just kinda felt like it had been sitting out of the 'fridge for a few days too long, if you know what I mean. It seemed more like a proof-of-concept or rough cut than a finished piece about to open on Friday. Truly. To be fair, though, I did laugh -- three times, I think -- but in all, the movie was only worth the price of admission (it was a free sneak preview). In fact, it was 100x funnier to notice, upon exiting the theater, that my friend Adrienne had a completely blue mouth and teeth from drinking a blue slushie during the film. And that was free, too (the laughs, not the slushie). posted by jeremy at 10:18 PM | On This Day:
2003
The CIA had an opening for an assassin. After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done there were three finalists - two men and one woman. For the final test, the CIA agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances. Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. You have to kill her." The first man said. "You cant be serious. I could never shoot my wife!"The agent replies, "Then you?re not the right man for this job." The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the agent came out with tears in his eyes. "I tried, but I cant kill my wife." The agent replies, "You dont have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Finally, it was the womans turn. Only she was told to kill her husband. She took the gun and went into the room. Shots were heard, one shot after another. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didnt tell me the gun was loaded with blanks. So I had to beat him to death with the chair." posted by: Jokes on October 9, 2004 9:28 AM |
