Yeahhhh, baby! - Went to see AP3 last night. At the 10pm showing there were maybe 10 other people in the theater. Thanks to realistic expectations, I was reasonably entertained, although the best laughs came from material rehashed from earlier Powers installments. Mike Myers' newest persona, freaky Dutchman Goldmember, suggests that his comedic wellspring may be running a bit dry. Will an American audience even get the Euro-centric stereotype of the Dutch pervert? Among the cameos, I thought Nathan Lane put in by far the best showing, and Beyoncé Knowles added enough spice to make my friend Ivan (a huge fan of DC) proud. But am I the only one who noticed the continuity problems with Austin's teeth? Was that deliberate?

P.S. The trailer for Die Another Day looked pretty cool, but you had to be a sharp observer to notice Academy Award® winning actress Halle Berry, who was uncredited in the voiceover that mentioned Pierce Brosnan's title role. This was one of the previews attached to Goldmember as part of the deal struck with MGM in return for New Line's right to spoof the valuable James Bond franchise. (Bonus question for Ben: Who is singing the theme song for this 20th installment of the James Bond saga?)
