Mike Myers totally cracks me up. I celebrate the entire Austin Powers catalog. Maybe I'm just easily amused?
The other day I was watching Uncle Buck and thinking that the comedy world is really missing John Candy. I'm still sad about that.

.02. Wedding Crashers was funnier than Old School. Not as many actual "I'm not sure if I can stop laughing" moments in the theater as Anchorman, but probably more repeat watchability. Those who predict this sort of thing are saying that it should top $125mm in theater receipts, and (I found this hard to believe when I read it) $700mm in DVD sales (hi gatti!). Uh, yeah. Guess VV earned his $12mm.
I also like the Austin Powers flicks (2 was my favorite), but not for Austin Powers or Fat Bastard. Dr Evil, man. That schtick doesn't get old for me. But 2 on the easily amused thing, so whatever.
John Candy didn't really do it for me. Not sure why. I was always empathizing too much with the actor who had to play the straight guy to his wacky characters.
