burntcopperUpdating Oi! Yanks! No!.
Oh, and saw Austin Powers 3 : Goldmember today. Fucking fantabulous, but probably only if you're a fan of the previous two. Mix of in-jokes and the usual toilet humour. And possibly one of the best beginning sequences *ever*.
The Beginning? Take-off of a 007 film, with the Shaguar on a desert road, and a Dr. Evil helicopter trying to kill some lass on a bike. Evil helicopter killed. Then we get a close-up on Austin. It's bloody Tom Cruise behind the glasses and wig. text appears : 'Tom Cruise as Austin Powers.' Girl gets off bike, removes helmet. 'Gwyneth Paltrow as Dixie Normous.' 'Kevin Spacey as Dr. Evil.' The one that got the biggest laugh, though, was 'Danny DeVito as Mini-Me'. Pull back to the filming of the Austin Powers film, Austinpussy, directed by Steven Spielberg. Fucking fantastic.
Dance sequence through the Universal Studios set, and then the dance troupe bursting into a sound stage where a Britney Spears vid is being filmed - the 'Boys' one. Brit in leather and mrowr. Brit turns out to be a fembot! Eeeeeee!
Dr. Evil singing. Lots of Mini-Me (so. Fucking. cute). Scot. Number Two. Dr. Evil in maximum security prison carefully closing the door which turns out not to have been locked. The story of Dr. Evil getting picked up by a Belgian and his underage love slave with webbed feet after his parents' car exploded when he was a baby. Michael Caine as Austin's father, secret agent Nigel Powers. Dr. Evil and Austin as roommates at Secret Agent Public School. Subtitles. Oh, subtitles. Goldmember... ergh. Could have done with less of him. Though at least Fat Bastard's role was kept pretty short, class to have him as a sumo wrestler and funniest wire stunt ever. What happens when one of the wires break.. :snort: And sharks with frickin' laser beams attached! Eeeee!
