I have an external spinning-disk hard drive I had been using as a backup for years before eventually just using it as the primary storage space for my MP3s, which is the main reason I still have them after my last computer exploded. But it's already like 12 years old or something ridiculous like that so I don't trust it to continue living much longer, and now the collection lives on the shiny new m.2 drive on my new computer.

But, and here's the beauty of it, my phone is itself a backup drive. If this computer dies too, I can just yank all the mp3s back off the phone again.

I think about this sometime too. A handful of files downloaded 25 years ago and painstakingly transferred from system to system over the years. It is all I have of my history having destroyed the physical objects.

I'm watching Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and was thinking about how its impressive that the character sort of aged pretty well for a spy whose shtick is making love and sex puns.

Then it got to a scene where he has to use this chunky Acer laptop to get an email through AOL with the whole "You got mail" thing happening, and it made me realise its been almost as long between the release of this movie and now as it was between when they froze Austin Powers in the sixties and unfroze him in 1997.

Considering all the sex comedy characters with a similar schtick in movies that I remember coming out just after 1997 that didn't age well at all, it just made that initial assessment of the character all the more impressive.

TruTV also made Jon Glaser Loves Gear which ruled

TruTV gave us 3 seasons of Comedy Knockout, the most efficient delivery system for jokes ever to appear on television, as well as Adam Ruins Everything, which was the best educational TV show of all time. Then it was Zaslov�ed, the end.

Edit: snd the first Austin Powers movie was a joy. Bad sequels made people, including me, think they all sucked.

And, relevantly, Wayne's World 2

Wayne's World 2 was a massive rush job. I only learned about this recently...

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/why-sherry-lansing-threatened-mike-myers-ill-take-your-f-king-house-994864/

quote:

On the surface, Wayne�s World 2 might have seemed like a lighthearted sequel to the massively popular buddy comedy starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. But behind the scenes, the lead-up to production was rife with in-fighting � so much that, at one point, it left the film�s star curled up in a fetal position on the couch of one of Hollywood�s biggest execs.

In his new biography of legendary studio chief Sherry Lansing, Leading Lady (out April 25 from Crown Archetype), THR editor Stephen Galloway writes that the then-Paramount chairman made an unfortunate discovery weeks before shooting was due to commence: Myers had heavily based the sequel on the 1949 British comedy Passport to Pimlico � only nobody had bought the underlying rights.

�Mike had always wanted to do Passport to Pimlico as the basis of Wayne�s World,� said SNL creator Lorne Michaels, who produced the comedy. �So he went and wrote it. I think he believed the studio understood that, and I think he even believed they had bought the rights to the other movie so that he was free to use it.�

If the movie had entered into production sans rights, the Pimlico rights holders could have barred the new film from being released; but if Paramount had tried to obtain the rights at that late stage, the process could have taken months, horribly delaying production. Promotional materials and the marketing campaign for the movie would have had to be scrapped at a major cost to the studio.

The only feasible option was to completely rewrite the script.

Furious, Lansing summoned Myers to her office and told him exactly that � in much different (and harsher) words. Remembers one participant in the Myers-Lansing meeting: �She said, �How dare you? How dare you put us in this position?� She turned to Mike and said, �We�ll sue you. We�ll take your f�ing house. You won�t even own a f�ing home.'�

The verbal scathing went on, with Lansing adding a special twist, as then-production chief John Goldwyn recalled: �She made up this fabulous story about all of the lawyers sitting with [Paramount Communications executive] Stanley Jaffe. She said, �As I�m sitting here with you, there�s a team figuring out how they can take every single thing away from you.'�

Myers believed it, and was so shaken that he curled up in a fetal position on Lansing�s couch.

Said Lansing: �If I were you, Mike, I�d go to Lorne�s office right now and stay there until you come up with a new script. We�ll slide food under the door.�

Myers did as he was told and rewrote the script, this time focusing on his character Wayne�s quest to put on a rock show at the behest of a Jim Morrison apparition. The movie came out, as planned, in December 1993. It wasn�t anything like the hit he and Paramount might have hoped for.
