The Office -- "Threat Level Midnight" -- 2/17/11

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
After eleven years of writing, shooting, re-shooting and editing, Michael (Steve Carell) is finally ready to present his long-awaited action movie, "Threat Level Midnight," to his coworkers and love interest Holly (Amy Ryan). But is he ready for their reactions? "Threat Level Midnight" stars Michael Scott as "Agent Michael Scarn," Dwight Schrute as Scarn's butler sidekick, and Jim Halpert as archnemesis "Goldenface," along with many familiar faces from Michael's past.


This one should be interesting.

I love that Stanley is narrating, like Morgan Freeman.

Michael strangling Oscar

Toby's head blowing up and Michael's reaction "The joke's on you Goldenface, that man was a wanted animal rapist."

---

Andy really nailed David Eigenberg's voice.

Great to see cameos by Jan, Karen, Todd, Roy, Bob Vance, and Helene.

I thought this was a great episode. I think this season is leaps and bounds better than season 6. I enjoyed seeing the "Tolkien character" again.

Yes, very funny. I'm smelling a big fat DVD extra for this season. Full, director's cut Threat Level Midnight.

I guess Samuel L. Chang would have upset too many viewers?

Re: The Office -- "Threat Level Midnight" -- 2/17/11

I didn't care so much for this one. I enjoyed it thru the first segment, but it kinda got old. I think the main reason is that I like Michael best when he isn't the main focus of the story or getting the most screen time. And this movie being entirely from the mind of Michael, I was just ready for it to be over.

I really liked the ice rink shootout, but the dance scene was dreadful and stupid. I also didn't think Dwigt's character added anything to the story.

I'm with you. In fact, I thought it was the worst episode of any show I have ever seen. This show is running on fumes for me.

They've already said there will be a 25 minute version as an extra on the DVD

If this was the worst episode of any show you have ever seen, you're doing a great job on show selection, kudos to that

I thought it was a cool concept, but it fell flat in many places. I liked seeing some of the cameos, though.
