The new one that Mike Myers is in - some new Indian guru character that he has come up with or something. The buzz seems to be good.

 

Recently watched the Austin Powers movies again. They are really funny.

It will DEFINITELY be better than The Cat In The Hat. (What isn't?!)

 

>> After four years off, Mike Myers finally returns to the big screen in The Guru. His last live-action movie was 2003’s The Cat in the Hat.

 

He finally returns with The Love Guru, which hits screens June 20. The film, which also stars Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Ben Kingsley, features Myers as Pitka, an American left as a child at the gates of an ashram in India. Pitka becomes a self-help guru who tries to smooth the marital rift of a hockey star and his wife.

 

Myers, a native of Ontario, says he wrote the film because of his interests in Eastern philosophy and hockey. But he isn’t the type to zip out a script the moment an idea hits.

 

“I enjoy having the Lamaze birthing process of it,” says Myers, who also authored the Wayne’s World and Austin Powers franchises. “It usually takes me three, 3½ years in between characters.”

 

Why so long? He’s very protective of his original live-action characters. “I’ve written and created everything I’ve done, and it takes me a year to reflect on what I’ve done, a year to let the idea incubate and a year to create” a new character.

 

For Pitka, that included playing a philosopher of Eastern religion in New York and Los Angeles, where some unsuspecting passersby sought advice from Myers, who never broke from character.

 

“They asked some very spiritual and deep questions,” he says. “It’s been fascinating combining comedy with a nice life-affirming message.”

 

Fascinating, if challenging. He knows combining comedy, hockey and Eastern principles is a little “like figuring out how they got the peanut butter in the chocolate and the chocolate in the peanut butter.”

 

But he didn’t expect the Wayne’s World or Austin Powers films to be successes, either.

 

“When I did Wayne’s World, I thought you had to grow up in my neighborhood to get it,” he says. “When I did Austin, I thought you had to grow up in my house to get it, because my parents are from Liverpool. But I’ve been very lucky to create things people have liked, so I have to stay true to the things that interest me.”

This will be a complete pile of dog poo. I was speaking to Mrs Domo about it earlier, about what I thought it might be, and yup:
Warning, spoiler!
It's another Godzilla type flick
although, i have heard it is quite well done, and the FX are fantastic. Definitely go into this one expecting nothing...

".... Craig said Fleming defined a quantum of solace - it means, roughly, a measure of comfort - as "that spark of niceness in a relationship that if you don't have, you might as well give up."

Bags would be right in that quantum right now.

Although I think Dan Craig is a bit ugly, he seems to grow on me. Dicks like Roger the eyebrow and George were just dummies with hard-ons in suits. Craig can act a bit.

 

The new film opens at an hour after the end of Casino. Promises to have deeper insights into the character as someone with his heart already ripped out by the scooter lady.

I'm looking forward to the new Bond. CR was a great film. I see no Q or Moneypenny. I hope they up some of the Bond elements that were missing in CR though, while keeping it real and not cheesy.

It's good they leave John Cleese out of it anyhow if you ask me. He just added to the huge cheese levels of the last two Brosnan movies. Looking forward to this one.

Well Bags, the way I interpret Quantum of solace as described by Feming, I'd say it's the feeling of comfort that when as a couple you sit together and there is a silence, you both don't feel the need to fill that silence.

 

And I'm glad Cleese is out. Whenever you see him you just think of Monty. Bit of a distraction.

Agree, I am looking forward to Jumper - saw a trailer for that and it looks pretty sweeeet.

 

Also the new Bond.

 

Have yet to see Alien Vs Predator 2: Requiem yet either.. Must change that.

Enjoy The Silence. My favorite song!

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Cant you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence


Or maybe not....
