Aftershocking. Terribly aftershocking.

I'd greatly prefer a DIRTY DOZEN Gus Van Sant remake with an all-black cast and none of the dialogue changed.........providing all the cast is personally approved by me.
I'm glad I wasn't drinking when I read your above post. Have any cretins in Hollywood actually considered re-casting Austin? May they at least have the decency to wait for Mike Myers to pass away knowing that nobody did it better?
Oh my God in heck. What if the Hollywooders pull a VICTOR/VICTORIA on AUSTIN POWERS? What if they made Austin gritty and serious?????* What uncharted territory THAT would be!
(*Might even consider taking MM out of retirement to do so. Who better to twist up the genre?)
Yeah, inquiring minds and all that.
Remember upthread when we discussed an Old Man Bond/Logan type film for Dalton or Brosnan? Well, what about Old Man Austin?I'd greatly prefer a DIRTY DOZEN Gus Van Sant remake with an all-black cast and none of the dialogue changed.........providing all the cast is personally approved by me.

Oh behave...
Controversial opinion, the AP films got worse the more creative control Myers had. The first is brilliant, the second is fun, the third is bloody awful apart from the opening gag (though even that feels a tad indulgent) and Caine's Dutch joke.
Goldmember is just plain mediocre compared to the first two movies in the series. It has a few great moments but man, does it pale when put alongside the 1997 and 1999 films. I almost never revisit the third movie except for YouTube clips.
I like this movie, and it's one of the better Bonds
It’s been years since I’ve seen them but IIRC I liked the second best, but that was probably because I saw it in the cinema with a greatly appreciative audience. I don’t think Goldmember was as good as the others but I do remember liking it.
I still think it’s funny that Spectre ended up doing the same “the hero and his nemesis are actually brothers”, albeit adoptive for Bond and Blofeld, that Austin did first!
The thing that most annoyed me about that was that Eon made a big deal of saying enough time had passed since Dr Evil that they could safely do Blofeld again...and then they ripped off Goldmember!
I think the first AP is really sweet and has a lot of heart, the humour just gets progressively more juvenile as the series goes along, and that's fine, I just checked out in the third one (Fat Bastard and jokes about moles just left me cold)
I remember in the cinema that my fellow music nerd friend and I were pretty much the only people to get the “Moon Unit Alpha to Moon Unit Zappa” (Moon Unit being the name of Frank Zappa’s daughter) joke and we howled at it.
They kind of did, when one considers Bond stealing the "big twist" of AP3 for "Spectre."
