Matt, the previews struck me as overly homophobic, which turned me way the hell off. Is the movie not as bad as the preview made it out to be?
Well, the huddled-together-against-the-rain-in-their-underwear bit is homophobic, but it also turns out to be one of the funnier jokes of the movie. And within the context of the scene I really couldn't blame Dax Kelly's character for not being happy. The only other thing I can think of that's offensive in that way is the scene with the angry lesbian who catches her girlfriend cheating, and that's specifically set up to show Kelly as a clueless horndog.
The later two Austin Powers movies made the mistake, so common in movies these days, of confusing self-reference and repetition with humor.
It's a mistake that Mike Meyers is especially guilty of. I blame bad habits learned from Lorne Michaels.
I liked that movie - up until the point where the universe had to be saved by Bruce Willis having sex with a supermodel.
I also loved that movie. But the sex was just the big bonus after the world was saved.
Exactly. It was the beeg ba-da-boom.
I loved Seth in
Party Monster
- especially when he was dancing to that Stacie-Q song.
That was a great scene, but the rest of it just seemed so affected and fake. I know the Club Kids weren't deep thinking dramatic people, but they were people and it just felt that Seth and Mac were making sure they didn't seem real.

Seth Green dressed as a giant troll doll. ijs.
