Eating Out

Dozing through Mr & Mrs Smith

By ⋅ June 14, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I did the unthink­able! Despite the con­sid­er­able star power and heat the cou­ple were gen­er­at­ing, I dozed through the sec­ond half of Mr & Mrs Smith :) On the first day of the show last Fri­day. After the inter­val, when both of them were really get­ting at each other, I was lulled into sleep! Here’s a rather flat­ter­ing review. I have never done this before in a hall — sleep through a movie that is. At least for a long while. Maybe, I need to see it again. This time, with my eyes open!

I had writ­ten about a bad expe­ri­ence at Millers 46 a few weeks ago. Jude, who’s the owner of Millers 46 actu­ally left an apol­ogy on my blog and sent me a voucher towards my next meal. Thanks Jude! Can imag­ine how demand­ing the ser­vice busi­ness is and will def­i­nitely go back for more at Millers :)

22 peo­ple so far for the Hon­nemardu trip this week­end. Yayay! Am really excited. Have wanted to go to this beau­ti­ful place for a while and am totally look­ing for­ward to it. My week­end French classes hardly allows me to travel these days. But I have 2 weeks to go before my finals and if I don’t go some­where, I am going to be very unhappy. So Hon­nemardu, it is!

  1. I don’t get it! I heard that the movie itself was a bore post-interval. So you may sleep through it again.

  6. Would the sym­phony guy refund my 100 bucks back for this movie if i told him what harm this movie can inflict upon mor­tals like me?

  7. Hey famous!

    BTW, one of my favourite movies was Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, which I sup­pos­edly have seen about fif­teen times, or rather have slept through. Nice music all the while, no dishum-dishum to wake one up with the sound. Three hours of absolute bliss!

    And wish I could come along for the Hon­nemardu trip! Damn, have a quiz on Sun­day. Are these blog­ger meets a reg­u­lar thing? Would love to come along for the next one.

  11. I also saw the movie and found it quite inter­est­ing. And after the movie I felt pos­i­tive that I haven’t wasted my 100 bucks for the movie. This was echoed by the friends with whom I went to watch the movie. But one thing I admit, that this is not a movie I would sug­gest a woman to see. You see, its a man kind of maar-dhad movie. Although I am myself a bit opposed to only fight­ing sorts of movies and on the same lines I hated the part when the pair (Mr. and Mrs. Smith) fought with dozens of armed men after com­ing out of the room.
    But def­i­nitely I enjoyed the sub­tleties in the humour like the part when:

    Mr. Smith : I missed you.
    Mrs. Smith: I missed you too!

    Prob­a­bly you were doz­ing off when it came, so no need to stress your mind to find humour in this.

    BTW, if I were you, I would come back home to sleep. And more impor­tantly, ask like-minded peo­ple before going to see one.

  13. You didn’t miss much. And I slept through Harry Pot­ter 2, and went to see it again a month later, and realised I hadn’t missed much (HP3 was so much better).

    BTW, WTF was that critic think­ing, putting the whole story in the review?
