For those of you who know me at all, you will maybe remember that Austin Powers:IMM is one of my all-time favorite movies. Eh, there's only 5 readers, and we're all close, so you definitely know that I love this movie. Austin Powers in my Spaceballs.I don't think I have to defend myself here, but I'll do so anyway, because some of you are naysayers. Haters to the left, please. THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!
Here's why:
1. Mike Myers pulls a Dick Van Dyke and plays multiple roles. Dr. Evil is one of the finest villains of our time. You may be thinking "Riiiiiiiiiiiiight," but he is.
2. Spoofs are often fun, and I'm totally into that British psychedelia.
3. Seth Green and Carrie Fisher share a scene together.
4. Mike Myers makes a hilarious-yet-offensive joke about a woman actually being a man. Transphobic, but funny, baby.
5. Did you listen to the soundtrack? Strawberry Alarm Clock + The Divinyls + Mike Myers/Ming Tea singing "BBC."
Okay okay, so maybe the movie exploits women's bodies a little bit, but its British, and sometimes international jokes don't translate well.
5/5 pizzas
I wish Austin Powers was in your Spaceballs.
