Despicable Me

Can we just stop for a moment to appreciate the despicable me franchise, these animated charcaters that took the world by storm!!
First by introducing a villian with a complex persona and heart of gold! 
And creating the world's greatest blebs of yellow joy with gibrish strangely understandable language that took the life of its own!
Yes it is Steve Carell behind all that magical world! 
Well! 
At least the voice of our english version of Gru and Dru!
Kristen Wiig joined the team in different characters, first the malicious manager of the orphanage Miss hattie!
Then as the lovely super agent spy Lucy, then as the wife of Gru and the protecting mother who has no clue on how to raise a raisin not a child!!
What a family!!! and to add to this bundle of joy a lost brother who just wants to be a villain to continue his family legacy is just over the top!!
Well!
 I won't mention over the top if you don't mention it! because it is a touchy subject for Steve where he got his most vilifying review ever!!
Despicable Me for mentioning that!!
We are at three and hope for more!
I haven't forgot the Minions! 
I just feel that this movie was in another dimension than the despicable me categories, it was concerned with the minion's history and how they were shaped they way they do, Gru was still a little kid when they were attached to him, they haven't formed the family bond yet! and that is what Despicable Me about......Family!
Well!...............and villainy!

Steve Carell's personality

I have some glimpse of Steve's personality just from seeing him talking in interviews, and watching his movie choices, I kind of formed a vague idea of who he really is. He is a very private person, I don't think we will ever see the whole personality of Steve Carell just because he is so insanely-attractively hiding it! A loving doting father, a fascinated by his wife husband, a loyal person to his family and friends (just the close ones! Just kidding!), and a marvellous most versatile actor who can also play the Baritone Horn and Five , who could have possibly been a lawyer or a historian! What do you think of this picture, every bit of it is true, so he really is a nice person! Yes he is, but a nice person with an edge! He was very shy as a young gentleman around women and married his wife through agony-like courtship, with a lot of metaphorically asked questions: if I would go out with someone, it would be someone like you! And fortunately his wife s...

The Daily Show

The Daily Show played a very important part in shaping the Steve Carell we know, first off, he was called Steven before it and chose to shorten it to Steve after! He was shining in the Second City sketches and later in The Dana Carvey Show, but in the Daily Show he started to use the more subtle technique of comedy, where you use your poker face while saying the most absurd things you can figure, before that he used anger and increasing his voice pitch more, like in the Germans who say nice things! He started to master another form of comedy which is the self-tortured-whining in public kind, where he expresses all his vulnerability in front of a live audience! Also he tried a lot of different awkward situations each night, which resulted in a Michael Scott-ish situations! Here Michael Scott was born!!! As of acting, he acted hate, anger, love, but most of all self-ignorance or blindness to how he affects others thinking he is a genius while actually he is a buffoon!! He had...

The Office

Michael Scott is the heart and soul of the office! and that is apparent by the quick aching demise of the show after Steve Carell left the building!! In the first season, I wondered what an ugly, irritating , annoying, unfunny, egomaniac and self centred this boss is. I decided that may be this show was a mistake in the first place to watch.  Oh! I didn't watch it when it aired, just recently binge watched all the seasons, I was just searching for an old high rated TV show and this was the remaining one I had on a list after Cheers, Frasier etc. So I just regretted having all the seasons! Then after finishing season one achingly, I started season two just to test the waters, and thought if it is going the same way, then I will dump the rest of the episodes. Here when I saw the direction they took, they made Michael human!!! He is irritating and annoying because he can't understand others, he is self centred because he believes he is loved by those around him like ...
