Those movies sucked

@pepsi_man @hfaust first one is good, the second one immediately felt derivative and unnecessary and was noticeably lower quality

@sun I've talked about that earlier in the morning, like who likes Mike Myers at this point? Even the concept of a James Bond parody is too washed up at this point.

@sun @pepsi_man It also damaged the English language for a decade, you could not escape people saying "groovy baby" or "mojo".

@hfaust yeah it's really a spent genre, and it was spent by the austin powers movies already doing everything they needed to do (plus more unwanted shit)

@sun I don't know if you have seen its latest projects like The Pentaverate, he cannot let a skit die and makes the show unfunny to an incredible degree.

@hfaust I don't actually dislike or hate him, like I do Seth Rogen, but yes he's just not hot right now anymore

@sun @hfaust HEH HEH HEH WEED HEH HEH HEH

@Nudhul @hfaust he sucks so fucking much

@hfaust @sun let a skit die?! It was exactly what it was supposed to be. I loved The Pentaverate because So I Married An Axe Murderer is one of my all time favorite movies so the idea that this show exists because of his dad's conspiracy theory is just *chef kiss* of a callback

Anthony LaPaglia was genuinely cracking in that scene, plz tell me you know this is the origin...

edit: hdr to sdr colors washed out in Firefox and idk how to fix this, don't care I guess lol

@sun You are right but Hollywood is so desperate right now they will make sequels of the awful SNL movies from the 90s. So prepare for "It's Pat 2"

@hfaust that may be the only one they don't do, lol

@feld @hfaust I liked the Strangers With Candy movie so I can appreciate liking a movie with a paper-thin gimmick ridden to death, but admit what it is

@sun @hfaust Mini-me is dead now, so this would be automatically shit

@sun No, it's the perfect one. Imagine the story of Pat but retold as a coming of age non-binary drama from the point of view of Pat but then you cut to the comedic point of view of the other characters.

BRB, selling the script to A24.

@sun The trailer opens with a slow-mo violin version of the theme song.

I wanted to make a joke, but I found out Spaceballs 2 is real.

@sun Groovy baby

Rest with peace Verner Troy 🙏

Troy Verner did say he would want to be in a 4th Austin Powers movie. At a minimum, we'll get a tribute to him at the end of the film.
🙏

@VirginCrusader @lewdthewides @hfaust I think they can 3d recreate him, he would be like 1/4 the poly count of a full sized actor

@sun @hfaust Wait... there was a third one?
