Jay Roach on the problem Mike Myers & he faced after the test screening of "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Sh@gged Me" (1999): "The first movie never tested well. It never got above a 55, which is so low. There was scepticism. People had expectations of Mike Myers, because of SNL and Wayne’s World – not everybody was going along with this idea of the bad teeth, hairy body and taking the piss out of Bond. But by the time we tested the second one, it was the opposite problem. They were so quick to embrace it that we actually had trouble figuring out what they liked! It seemed they were laughing at everything." 'The Spy Who Sh@gged Me' tested around the 90 mark immediately, leaving Myers and Roach with the task of rifling through the footage to discern what should make the final cut. ("‘Groovy, baby!’: How Austin Powers: The Spy Who Sh@gged Me became the greatest comedy sequel of all time", Jacob Stolworthy, The Independent, 2019) P,S: On this day, 27 years ago, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Sh@gged Me" (1999) premiered in the USA.

Legendary day.

An Open Letter to David Ellison- Re: industry challenges David, Among the long-standing, important and unresolved issues, I urge you to consider my lack of a credit in Tommy Boy. This atrocity was perpetrated by a previous regime, and is a known stain on the Paramount legacy. I, and others, urge you to be on the right side of history and rectify this heinous act, with the addition of: “and Rob Lowe as Paul” above title. Thank you for your attention to this matter! RL

Thanks to the LA Times for continuing to report on everyone who (a) caused the LA fires thru sheer incompetence/stupidity, (b) had no real plan for stopping the fires, and/or (c) tried to cover up their own mistakes/liability afterwards. What a disgrace. latimes.com/california/story…
