From iwatchstuff, If there was any small solace I was able to take away from the midget/penis-joke-filled Love Guru trailer, it was that at least it meant the death of the increasingly painful Austin Powers franchise, and all the fading remnants of impressions and Halloween costumes that go with it. Or so I thought! But no! Reportedly, model Gisele Bundchen is being considered for the female lead in a new Austin Powers movie! And there's already a script! And Mike Myers will play like twenty characters with various funny levels of body hair and obesity (just educated speculation, as of now)!
But you know what really annoys me, even more than the horrifying idea of another cameo-filled Austin Powers sequel? That the Boston Globe is reporting this as "Look at this new role Tom Brady's girlfriend might have!" instead of "Holy shit! Mike Myers is sneaking another Austin Powers movie out, and he's already casting this thing that no one had heard about until now!" They just breeze past the whole horrible movie part and get back to how Bundchen speaks Portuguese. It's like announcing tomorrow's cafeteria lineup is fish sticks and green beans, and also it's Armageddon. Let's keep the focus where it belongs, Globe.
And can we discuss why Mike Myers seems so bent on "yeah, baby"-ing his way out of any comedy legacy he may have once had?

You know, I'd really enjoy an Austin Powers movie without all the jokes about shit, stinky underwear, peeling skin and hairy fat guys. What do you say, Mike?
Sigh. Thought so.
