It's hard to believe there was a time we all thought Mike Myers was funny.

The first two Austin Powers films are hysterical. You shut your mouth.

I’m with you. Rewatched Goldmember in quarantine and it still made me laugh!

I was in such a trance leaving Spy Who Shagged Me that all I could say to my buddy was "Man, Heather Graham is soooooo hot."

All three are fun, but definitely the first two are superior.

We were about 12.

I still think the Austin Powers movies are hilarious. I loved his cameo in Bohemian Rhapsody too. I haven't see Wayne's World in a long time. It's probably a little dated.

So good.

AreaFive · 08-22-2021, 01:38 PM

I haven't watched the Austin Powers films since they came out but I remember them being quite funny at the time, especially the second film.

Nope Wayne’s World is still easily the best thing he’s done

Wayne's World 2, though...

Except for Charlton Heston's scene. That's the height if all cinema right there.

Jurassic Park III>The Lost World: Jurassic Park

A lean mean thrill machine of dino mayhem that doesn't forget that dinosaurs are and have always been wondrous fascinating creatures and not just movie monsters that are used for contrived action to up the body count. JP showed the beauty and the beast of nature, and while TLW lost sight of the beauty, JP3 gained it back.

Not saying it doesn't have characters doing dumb things, but they have more believable intentions and the fact that they are just civilians that are out of their depth yet desperate enough to save their son in dino infested island. A more focused narrative also helps in keeping things moving with it's smaller cast that actually had a human dynamic. The shorter runtime while seemingly anemic compared to the rest in the series also meant not overstaying its welcome.

JP3 is breezy and more fun and brings back the wonder and magical spirit of JP1(something TLW had none of), while TLW was laborious in its attempt to repeat the same tricks while jamming more of it, and its full of unlikable characters(except for Roland the game hunter). The last 20 minutes was the only time the film zapped to life, but it was too late by then. Spielberg executed it like a soulless cash grab. Sure JP3 was Hollywood franchise filmmaking, but at least Johnston was enthusiastic and not cynical in his approach.

The Blu-ray Association should have chosen CD cases. Much more compact and easy to replace. Neater looking on a shelf. It's like they think we all live in big houses. Probably also cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

I don't know, I can't see how that would be an unpopular opinion.

Maybe you're right. I just get the impression collectors like things as they are.

I would have been happy with CD-like cases
