And there I was, surprised that someone not only read the review but commented on it. Then I read his reply.

Suckfacer.

Excellent work, boss. The used panties cap was genius. I was pretty shocked to love this movie.

It's also nice but astonishing to find someone else to have major dislike for TSWSM.

Walrusballs. I was going to avoid this as I didn't care for the last one...the Nunziata love is infectious...like scabies actually.

Dennis Haysbert/Hollow Man screencap was gold.

I saw only one Hollow Man joke, did I get the fullscreen edition of the review?

Anyhoo, fuckin' hilarious caps this go-round. Decent review to go with the caps, though it was hard to read through the tears of laughter. Goldmember turned out much better than I thought it would. I'll definitely be picking this up at some point.

"A better chance of digging up General Patton with your assmuscles" indeed.

Now I'm working on my Suckfacer VS. Backfire script treatment...

Edited to remove any semblance of sobriety and wit.

Thanks! Actually the other HM reference was in Dan's review.

I have to stop reading Nunziata DVD reviews because they keep making want to buy these discs with money I don't have. Nevertheless, a great review, although I do disagree on the artwork (I found it rather bland).

Fav screencaps: the Dennis Haysbert/Hollow Man and "...used schoolgirl panties from a vending machine"

Review good, captions better.

Several classics in one review.

I'm still flummoxed as to how you enjoyed this more than The Spy Who Shagged Me.

It exhumed the same jokes that that movie did, made even less sense than Die Another Day, and inexplicably featured Michael Caine checking out that pasty dwarf's knob. Oh, and it finally made me hate Mike Myers.

... any sign of a Back To The Future review?

Vending machine/HollowMan caps were the best!

Great review, and high praise from someone who said he wished that Vern Troyer's 15 minutes were up already.

I was afraid that this one might not stand-up to repeaded viewings. But after your review it just made the Christmas list.

There's a couple of scenes I watched over and over, like the first Seth Green/Dr. Evil confrontation.

Goldmember was better than The Spy Who Shagged Me. The opening scene, & the rap sequence both had me in pain. I was sore after this movie. There were some played jokes in there, but there was also some very fresh work, too. The opening scene (again) and the 'school' sequence come right to mind. The rap song may have been a redux of 'Just the Two of Us' in part 2, but this was funnier. Even the repeat jokes were better in this one.

Of course, seemingly unlike many of you, I have been a Mike Myers fan for a long time. I find everything he is in funny (54 was funny for the wrong reasons of course).

Hollow Man jokes- SOLID GOLD.

Loved the review, and it even inspired me to maybe pick this up. I unfortunately didn't catch it in the theaters, but this review is enough to warrant a sight-unseen.

It's also encouraging when you talk about this being the best of the series since the first was so great.

Like most people I was expecting this film to be like a stab in the eye with a metallic penis, but after that opening, I just caved in and laughed pretty much non-stop to the end. Definitely one of the best comedies of the year.

Also, much love for the "digging up Gen. Patton" caption.

Review was funny and clever.

Movie was just clever. Sort of.

Worst of the three.

I thought the movie was better than expected, but I really felt like the ball was dropped with Goldmember and the 70s element.
Didn't really need to be the 70s, I thought, but the Goldmember character grew on me - especially his bizarre habit of referencing disco tunes and then whispering the artist.

And I'd love to know how Austin had an affair with Foxy Cleopatra when he spent the entire decade frozen...

I hate this "film" with every cell of my body. After the shitstorm that was TSWSM I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was WRONG.

It is very rare in my "movie-watching" group that we watch a movie in total, utter, awkward silence. Aside from the hilarious opening (Spacey and Devito were fuckin' awesome! We went ballistic), the movie went to shit very quickly. After watching Danny DeVito about five times, we found the rest of the movie incredibly unfunny, and the majority of the jokes were head-shakingly stupid. None of the recycled gags were funny, and there were many pointless bits thrown in for no apparent reason (the "Mini-Me showing his cock" scene, and the fact that Goldmember kept eating his own skin). In fact, for most of the movie none of us understood what Goldmember's purpose was. He just sat there and said stupid things and commented on his own "Dutch weirdness".

General consensus: I want my 4 dollar rental fee back. That was 90 minutes of my life that I want back, but will never have.

Hell, Manos: Hands of Fate was funnier than this turd. And that's all I have to say about that.

The strange thing was that tjis was a better movie from The Spy Who Shagged me but I enjoyed it a lot less.

Meyers should quit the series.

Goldmember had a few good bits. Tom Cruise's cameo, Beyonce Knowles shaking her afro out (among other things), any scene with Seth Green.

But if this is the best of the three, I don't care to see the other two. Except for the Dr. Evil bits; Evil describing his childhood is sheer brilliance: "my father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament."

Now that's art.

Just watched it again yesterday, courtesy of Netflix, and was underwhelmed. Scenes with Scott and Dr. Evil are gold (no pun intended), but there weren't enough of them. The Mini-Me scene in Austin's apartment was also worth a repeat viewing, but not worth a purchase.

I had fun both times I saw it in theatres, but audience reaction was key to my enjoyment.

I couldn't find a single egg on the disc.

Those were actually some of my favorite things. I guess I must share some weird headspace with Meyers, because Goldmember is probably my favorite character in the series. It's his pointlessness and just plain random weirdness that endears him to me so.

And Seabass is on the money with the Dr. Evil quote. Art indeed.

Beg to differ.

Got it as a renter and watched it a couple of times w/ no commentary and then listened to the Myers/Roach gabfest.

Nick was dead on in saying it was better than The Spy Who Shagged ME.

Fuggin' hilarious. The decrease in obvious product placement helped oodles.

And Goldmember was a great addition. Now if Myers could rid us of Fat Bastard.

Actually Danny DeVito was the movie's only saving grace...actually just the first ten minutes of the movie. The rest still sucked.

OK, but only 'cause you begged. I agree it was better than TSWSM, especially the lack of product placement, which I'd forgotten about. But it wasn't as much fun without a theatre full of people. Maybe I'm too extroverted...
