Why Hollywood is rooting for Mike Myers’ new movie to fail

surprising that the story ran... guess he couldn't get his "people" to stop the story

I just don't think he's that funny.

**Sasha** · June 18th, 2008, 05:11 PM

Wow, this is really unusual fare for EW. Someone has it out for him it seems.

Didnt Lainey write something about him when he was shooting this movie- apparently he was pissing everyone off and he was more of a diva than Miseralba

**Beeyotch** · June 18th, 2008, 06:28 PM

^^Yep, I remember that. And she wrote how painfully embarrassing it was that they both couldn't dance AT ALL during a dance sequence.

I think they knew the Love Guru was not going to get the favourable press to get back what it cost to make which is why Justin Timberlake is in it... to get the teenage fanclub $$$.

Can we toss him into the warped JennBraLina triangle and turn it into a even more bizarre quadrangle?

Wouldn't be much of a quadrangle considering he, Jen, and Angie would all be after Brad and not each other.

I'm hoping his movie fails because it looks spectacularly unfunny, but moviegoers have paid a lot of money for a lot of shitty pics over the years.

I will watch it but only because my future husband, JT is in it.

The only way I would see this pile of shit movie is if someone holds a gun to my head. And I think it's funny that the commercials are showing Verne Troyer, as if the pr people know his scenes are the only funny ones in the movie.

^I'll watch on DVD to see Verne ... that guy cracks me up.

this movie sounds lame. and yeah, the rumours that he's an asshole have been making the rounds for years, which is kind of sad because i adored wayne's world and the first austin powers. it was a bit of a let-down to find out he's an asshole.

**yanna** · June 19th, 2008, 03:41 AM

Same here, I love Austin Powers and it sucks to know that he's a jerk.

I also think he was very good in Studio 54 where he did a dramatic turn.

Without Dana Carvey, Wayne's World would have been nothing. I hated Mike Myers then and hate him now.

Any movie with him, Justin Timberlake, whom he seems to loooooovve working with, and Jessica Alba is destined to be a hit.

Have you seen Dana's latest stand up on HBO. Hilarious. I had tears running down my face as he described himself as a freshman in high school, 4'10", 90lbs and talked like Mickey Mouse. Mike Myers can't do stand up like that and hasn't in years.
