minus-squareThe Picard ManeuverOPlinkfedilinkEnglish15•9 months ago a good parody bond film Hey, at least we have Austin Powers!
minus-square@BroBot9000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish8•9 months agoOh gosh. Freaking classics. Imagine if they made those today. Like not another remake or sequel but like actually made them nowadays. Or Wayne’s World? I just don’t see it happening without it falling completely flat due to executives being tone deaf shills. That whole part about mocking the paid ads would just be a paid advertising segment.
