Austin Powers was made approximately as long ago as Austin spent frozen.

also the 3rd movie gives fat bastard more charactization. but uhhh he does mention following the jared fogle way of the subway diet

…. A minor detail…

[mimicjar@lemmy.world]

The Pentaverate is solid. It's no Austin Powers or Wayne's World, but it's solid. It was great to see Mike Meyers back in form, even if it wasn't his best work, just really good.

My hope is that he was just out of practice and he's working on some great stuff behind the scenes. I know The Love Guru was a big miss for him and it really cut him down. He thought he'd created the next Austin Powers and it just fell flat. It wasn't the worst film, but definitely a huge step down.

Long way if saying if you're a Mike Meyers can, the Pentaverate is probably worth your time.

[onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe]

Nope.

Just watched them all a few weeks ago, still very funny, see nothing wrong with any of it. The movies are all about absurdity.

[thefogan@programming.dev]

I mean, it ages better than the obvious intentional paordy of James Bond that it is. at least in the sense that it's intentionally campy and made to emphasize it's ridiculousness rather than make it seem realistic.

And, you know, an absolute shit ton of sexual harassment.

[makhno@lemmy.world]

The mean comments about fat people far outweigh the sexual harassment, obviously

[drstevebrule@mander.xyz]

Were there many characters that didn't flirt back with him though? He was considered a sex icon in the movies. I don't recall any characters being put off by his constant attempts to have sex. Not that it's something people in real life should try to reenact, but I don't know if I would say it's sexual harassment. It's a bit different compared to Johnny Bravo or Pepe Lepew.

I've heard it with Dale Earnhardt and Pink Floyd. Their last big hit was the wall.

[lapping6596@lemmy.world]

Earlier in the film the actor he punched is female but they switch to an obviously male one when the camera looks down to really highlight how absurd it all is.

[blackrook7@lemmy.world]

Noooooooooooooooo!

"austin. the cold war's over."

"finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? eh comrades? eh?"

"austin.. we won"

"smashing groovy yay capitalism"

[cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I dont think Mike Meyers would intentionally write hurtful material

except for the love guru... ehhhhh finger guns

[doom@ttrpg.network]

I just don't really see anywhere in here a joke about transfolk, just about an old woman being ugly. I think the real joke is Austin is a bit insane I think this is soon after he's thawed right?
