As a huge fan of the classic Sixties show “Get Smart,” the best compliment I can give to this summer’s big-screen remake is that it missed being good by that much . You could see the Rock twist coming a mile away, Steve Carell was a bit too smooth with his portrayal of bumbling spy Maxwell Smart, and don’t get me started on the dumb idea of making the Cone of Silence CGI – but still, it wasn’t “Honeymooners”...

Following up on earlier posts on systemic failures and their causes, this is a great line by Vordel's Mark O'Neill:Freud wrote that dreams are the "Royal Road" to the unconscious. Messaging Systems and mainframes can be the Royal Road for a malicious user to attack a banking system, unless the security thinking moves from a "claim by claim" thinking to thinking about the full transaction.What a great...

It has to be in the genes. We picked up the first season of Get Smart - the real one, with Don Adams and Barbara Feldon, from 1965-66 - last week, and our eight-year-old son has devoured all the episodes since. He liked the movie, as did I, although I was surprised that the Steve Carrell incarnation took liberties that included making Max a wonk, and a smart one at that. In any event, the...

It was with trembling and trepidation that I accompanied slightlyfoxed and spyinthehaus to a showing of Get Smart at the Tottenham Court Road Odeon. The 1960s original , a spy spoof starring Don Adams as loveable bungler Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 for CONTROL, and Barbara Feldon as his beautiful, patient partner 99, is probably my favourite TV programme ever and has been a massive influence on my tastes...
