Alhazred posted:I think suggesting that Travolta's ride on the cool train for a decade is more than fair considering that during that time period he made Michael, Phenomenon and Battlefield Earth. More realistically it ended three years with Face/Off as the last stop. ngl I enjoyed Michael and Phenomenon and Face/Off is where it started to slow down, not stop. The cool train stopped at From Paris With Love, because he was basically recycling his Swordfish and Taking of Pelham 123 remake characters. But, to go back to Mike Myers, I really think we should have had an Austin Powers sequel by now where he's reactivated into the Jason Bourne/Craig-era Bond movies and has to compete against "gritty" "post 9/11" threats. Like, he gets into a fight, the editing goes all Paul Greengrass and he becomes so confused and disoriented that he just starts vomiting from motion sickness.

According to Wikipedia Tim Allen was going to get the role before he chose The Santa Clause 2 instead. So could be worse.

Myers was forced to do the Cat in the Hat because he didn't want to do a Sprockets movie, which would have been another SNL sketch stretched to b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶-̶p̶o̶i̶n̶t̶ feature length.

Mike Myers also made sure Penelope Spheeris didn’t come back for the second Wayne’s World because he didn’t think the first one was all that funny. He especially didn’t understand the humor behind the “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene.

You're made to wait for one of the menu options to briefly light up so you can hurriedly select it before it passes on to the next one. There is no clear order that the menu points will appear in, and it actually changes back and forth between two different orders. Hope you've got good reflexes and am a fast reader! Wow thats terrible.

I threw it in once, and waited at the menu, figured I was stupid or my player wasn't right for it and just put it back on the shelf. I guess people were still figuring put DVD menus back then. The early ones still had mandatory trailers before the movie, like VHS tapes did.

Disclaimer: post made before coffee Another fun fact is that Goldmember from the third Austin Powers movie is making morbid fun of Ron Howard, who he’d been working with on the Sprockets movie, because Myers is a petty little poo poo. The Cat in the Hat emerged as a de facto settlement from Howard threatening legal action for failing to make Sprockets happen, but from everything I’ve heard, and amiable and agreeable as he generally is, you really DON’T want to piss off Ron Howard. The Love Guru was the fiasco that buried Myers, but he’s been awful since the beginning.

The D&D movie made $38.5 million this weekend which gave it first place. I have no idea if that is considered a success though. I tend to think probably not.

Alhazred posted:"We have officially run out of stories to make movies out of." I saw somebody say that it'd be like Jerry McGuire, which...maybe. I'm hung up on the concept because the segment in The Last Dance about Air Jordans was a pretty neat and compelling bit of TV. But it was a smaller part of about an hour-long episode of a documentary. I can't see how fictionalizing a pretty boring real story is going to work with double the run time. I'm sure it will do well enough off of the sports connection but still just a weird thing to commit to.
