Austin Powers in Goldmember

[Guest El Satanico]

Well prepiration H or "ass cream" jokes aren't exactly something new that were first said in Goldmember.

[Guest Lethargic]

I just watched it for the first time on DVD. The first time I saw it I got it from KazAa. But I noticed out that Susanna Hoffs, the lead singer of the Bangles, was in the movie. To put it simply, she is my Kylie to Kotz. Her husband has also produced all three of the movies. But it's still funny as hell, and I love GM. They didn't take his angle far enough IMO.

She's in all three. She's in the Austin Powers' band, I believe it's called Ming Tea. Matthew Sweet is in it too. That's where the whole thing came from. They put this joke band together to do 60's psychedelic type music with Myers singing in that Austin getup and the character evolved from that.

 

Personally I thought the second one blew except for I got to look at Heather Graham in mini-skirts. It was just the exact same jokes form the first movie, with some new jokes thrown inbetween those where the thin story from the first movie used to be. The third one is just the same jokes from the first movie for the third time and the new jokes from the second movie for a second time except without Hurley OR Graham to look at. So I don't see the point.

 

Apparently there will be a fourth one now. All before the movie and during the movie they said they wouldn't do anymore and that it would be a trilogy. After the movie came out Myers changed his mind and said he WOULD do another one, just not too soon.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Hated it! Ok, that's strong but to my toilet humor. I've really only liked the First Austin Powers.

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

The toilet humor was kinda nasty....which is why FB should've left out. Considering he's not fat anymore, I hope he is left out of the (if there is one) next one.

 

A movie that focuses more on Dr. Evil/Mini Me/Goldmember and Austin getting less air time.....THAT would be a cool movie.

[Guest converge241]

hilarious on the first viewing

 

painful on the second

 

it amazes me how dated the jokes are in the Powers movies like the Osbournes and such

 

i will always see a new sequel in the theater though..very funny and entertaining..they just dont hold up for repeated viewings

 

Beyonce was cringeworthy in the movie

 

and the Goldmember character was a waste

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

I agree with good the first time, bad the second. I watched it in the theater, liked it well enough, but I didn't really feel the need to watch it again. But my brother got the dvd, so I gave it a shot. I turned it off maybe 5 minutes in... it was just sad.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Funny but Beyonce added nothing, in fact I loathed the moments she was on screen.

[Guest Crucifixio Jones]

BPS: There was also another moment where *I* laughed and NO ONE else seemed to get it. When No. 2 says that he's found a way to legitimize Dr. Evil's evil empire yet still maintain the business practices and ethics of an evil organization....

 

I've turned us into a Hollywood Talent Agency.

 

I'm laughing and everyone else is completely silent. Idiots.

 

Btw, the line is, "I have a Dutch accent...ishn't dat veird?" Not "I'm from Holland". I think. I found the "mahzha, fahzha" stuff to be pretty funny. Why they cut the best parts I don't know. Also when he insists on saying everyone is "tight...tight like a tiger."

 

But as always, Dr. Evil steals the show. He has classic responses to ANY and EVERY thing ever said to him. When he's walking through the prison yard and he's making small-talk kills me.

 

"Sleeping good?"

[The Dames 0]

Actually CJ, he says "I have a Dutch accent, isn't that vierd" to Dr. Evil on the sub. The first time is his first line in the movie period.....he raises his arms in the air and says "I'm from Holland....isn't that vierd?"

I saw this movie the other night and I couldn't believe how repetitive, boring, and unfunny this movie was. I had low expectations going into it, but it still surprised me with how awful it was.

[Guest redbaron51]

I think Beyonce Knowles dragged this movie down a lot, cause I could barely tolerate her...

[Guest Human Fly]

The first one was by far the best, then the 3rd, then the 2nd IMO.

 

If you saw the first one before it got really popular and prostituted it was very funny. It had several rolling on the floor moments. Then it got popular and whenever something gets out of control popular the luster gets taken off of it. That's where the 2nd one comes in.

 

it amazes me how dated the jokes are in the Powers movies like the Osbournes and such

 

Exactly. In a few years the first one will be the only one that holds up to repeated viewings. Since they took out stuff like Mr. Bigglesworth etc. They turned it into a spoof on pop culture instead of a spoof on spy movies.

[Guest midnight_burn]

I really didn't like Goldmember, it sucked compared to the first two Austin Powers movies, especially the original. They seemed to be trying really hard to be funny, but it just wasn't happening, i laughed like 3 times maybe throughout the whole movie, and i have no desire to ever watch it again.

[Guest Choken One]

I thought it was ok for a 4 in morning time killer...Yes, Knowles was a horrible selection but at least they only gave her then 90 seconds of air time...

 

If they DO a fourth one...What could they do for a plot? Since Evil and Austin are brothers now...Does that mean SCOTT EVIL takes over and has a fued with Austin? The best thing to do his simply have Dr. Evil...lose his comic attitude and go evil...It adds dimiension with the brother/Brother thing...

 

Likely they'll do a dumb Incest thing with EVIL AND Powers pining after the same girl that turns to be their long lost Mother whom secrectly survived the explosion whom got cosmeic surgery and they 'll use Jenifer Lopez for the role.

[Guest Mole]

Ooooooookay, then........

 

Still, Goldmember had a sexy accent, especially his odd lil giggle. Him and Dr. Evil should have had more scenes....instead they gave a fat bastard air time.

 

Hmmmmmmm........that sounds so familiar, although I can't figure out where from.. *coughwwecough*

The thing about Goldmember's accent is that it doesn't sound anything like a Dutch. My friend Catie's Mom is from Holland, and she doesn't sound anything like that. Plus, Catie told me that Dutch people generally have the same accent all around the country and that Goldmember's accent isn't even close to being correct.

[Guest EQ]

What's with all the Beyonce hate? Sure, she's not gonna win any oscars ever, but I don't think she was PAINFUL to watch.

[Guest Lethargic]

If they DO a fourth one...What could they do for a plot?

A plot????

[Guest EQ]

The third movie was really lacking a plot, IMO. But I'd still like to see a 4th one. I'll still go see it. I get a laugh out of these movies.

[Guest El Satanico]

If they DO a fourth one...What could they do for a plot?

 

Well based on the end of Goldmember it's obvious that Scott is going to be the Villian.

 

Scott as the villian is actually the only thing that would make me want to see a fourth.

 

Besides it's not like they need an actual plot. They use just enough plot to give the movie some sort of structure.

[Guest converge241]

yeah no plot

 

all Myers needs is

>a new character to play in the movie

>a hot girl to co-star

>dated jokes funny the first time

 

and top it off with

 

HUGE AMOUNTS OF PRODUCT PLACEMENT

The thing about Goldmember's accent is that it doesn't sound anything like a Dutch.

 

Myers mentioned something about this in the behind-the-scenes featurette. I can't remember what it was, though. Ah, well, I'll be getting the DVD in the mail soon.

 

Dr. Evil and Goldmember basically ruled in this video. Yeah, it was funny when Goldmember told both Austin and Evil that they were tight like a tiger. Dr. Evil came back "that's not something you should tell another guy..." That was too cute.

 

Likely they'll do a dumb Incest thing with EVIL AND Powers pining after the same girl

 

Hmmmm....I once read a Scott/Austin story. It was made before the third film soo....does it count as incest?

[Guest So what? I liked bubble boy]

Ok, the movie was funny, you have to give it that. The bad part was believing that Seth Green is evil and that he is suppose to be dark. Get real. Stick it here you crazy dutch bastard.

[Guest imajackoff?]

I thought Goldmember was poo. The actual character of Goldmember was incredibly unfunny to me. I also wasnt much of a fan of the first movie either. There were a couple humorous scenes though. Mindless comedies really arent my bag, baby. However, I did like the 2nd one. Mini Me rules all.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I fucking loathed it. I think the second one is actually better than the original, but the third was HORRIBLE. I didn't think goldmember was a good character at all. Dr Evil is always funny, but even he wasn't up to form in goldmember. It's time to kill it. I preferred spiderman for god's sake.

I preferred spiderman for god's sake.

Honestly, what was so wrong with Spiderman? Please don't say Gwen Stacey, that reason's been done to death.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

If Dames is gonna defend Spider-Man, I've got his back. I'veen doing it since May anyways. It's a good movie, damnit.

[Guest spiny norman]

"But I noticed out that Susanna Hoffs, the lead singer of the Bangles, was in the movie."

 

Wow, I was just listening to Walk Like An Egyptian as I read that! You know you care.

 

The third one was just so bad for me. Besides the first mole confrontation with Fred Savage meeting Austin (note I said first, not the gazillion times afterwards), Steven Spielberg doing backflips, the line bps mentioned and the done-to-death-but-still-funny sillhouette scene, I didn't find anything amusing.

 

Goldmember's skin peeling was just gross, not funny. And, I realise I'm going to be the small minority here, but I really really don't like Dr. Evil. He has always irked me, from the first one to this one. The whole Zip It! thing just irritated me, especially people who imitate them. www.zipit.com hahaha, I'm so Wildian.

 

Arseholes.

 

I'm going to stop thinking about it before I go kill someone.

Not as much as "because it had organic webshooters!!!"

[Guest EQ]

I thought those things were funny in the movies, but I have to agree with you. When someone does this to me in real life, I feel like punching them

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I suppose I didn't hate spiderman, but it was a zillion notches below what I was expecting going in. I realise that probably isn't the movies fault. I nearly got up and left during the scene on the bridge, but I was laughing too hard. That's the only bit I HATED. Another thing was that they didn't explore the side of Peter blaming himself for innocents dying and descending into self loathing and madness, which I think was a HUGE missed opportunity. They hinted at it at the end though, so maybe that's the basis for the sequel. Either way, I saw it as a classic example of how hollywood can fuck over a movie that had potential.
