Verne Troyer, 6-15-2008 o F{ = o z ulrffo zcl t = MtNl .o TRoLJPER ctor Verne Troyer yells and curses his way through the upcoming Mike Myers comedy,.The Love Guru," as the hard-nosed coach of a Canadian hockey team. When he isn't bawling out his play- ers or hitting on the hot owner (JessicaAlba), he's trading insults with Myers, who tosses little-person insults at the diminutive actor - and has them all tossed right back at him with an added spin and a quickpunch to the crotch.

  • Short Review: the “Austin Powers” Films by Dr. John L. Flynn Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), New Line Ci
    Short Review: The “Austin Powers” films by Dr. John L. Flynn Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997), New Line Cinema, color, 94 min. Director: Jay Roach. Writer: Mike Myers. Producers: Demi Moore, Mike Myers, etc. Cast: Mike Myers, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael York, and Mimi Rogers. Someone just had to do another spoof series of James Bond movies (the Flint series with James Coburn, the Matt Helm series with Dean Martin, notwithstanding), and Mike Myers also camped up the whole 60’s decade—London’s Carnaby Street fashions, psychedelic art. .Yeah, baby! With Mrs. Kensington (Rogers) in tow, much like The Avengers British TV series, espionage agent Powers (Myers) pursues the loathsome Dr. Evil (Powers too) through the 60’s. Both make the jump to the 1990’s (thanks to the convenience of cryonic sleep), and Dr. Evil sets out to dominate the world, while Powers has plans to shag his former partner’s daughter Vanessa Kensington (the sensuous Hurley). The comedy ranges from satire to bathroom humor, but the babes look great in their tight, leather outfits or short, short skirts and go-go-boots! Who cares if it doesn’t make much sense! Have fun. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). (aka Austin Powers 2). New Line Cinema, Color, 95 min. Director: Jay Roach. Writers: Mike Myers and Michael McCullers. Producers: Demi Moore, Mike Myers, etc. Cast: Mike Myers, Heather Graham, Michael York, and Robert Wagner. Less spoofing and more bathroom humor in this Powers sequel! Dr. Evil (Myers) uses a “Time- Tunnel”- like time machine to travel back to the late 60’s, and steal Powers’ (Myers too) mojo, but sexy, go-go girl Felicity Shagwell (Graham) puts him at his ease with some tender-loving shagging of her own.

    09.16 GQ 218 Dan Winters ® GQ’S Guide to BEING THE BEST BRAND YOU CAN BE Starring DANNY M¢BRIDE Remember when “selling out” was the worst thing an artist could do? If you licensed your song to an ad, you were a sellout. If you let them make your novel into a movie, you were a sellout. If you wanted to make a commercial, you had to do it in Korea so no one here would see it. But now? Everyone does it. Oscar winners. Knighted sirs. Even Bob Dylan. And no one cares! The big risk now isn’t selling out—it’s doing it wrong. GQ teamed up with DANNY MC BRIDE and his Vice Principals co-star WALTON GOGGINS to demonstrate how to sell out without selling your soul GQ’S Guide to BEING THE BEST BRAND YOU CAN BE rief History o A B f SELLING OUT THE BEATNIKS AT THE 1965 Newport Folk Festival should have known something was up when Bob Dylan walked onstage, trailing a suspicious cord behind him. He plugged in his Stratocaster and launched into “Maggie’s Farm,” but he may as well have been performing a Puccini aria, since he was barely audible over the boos. The charge: The harmonica-tootling folk king had Sold Out. But when We’re we look back through the Snapchat filter of 2016, it’s clear what he was really doing: expanding his brand.

  • Reminder List of Productions Eligible for Awards
    REMINDER LIST OF PRODUCTIONS ELIGIBLE FOR AWARDS All films that have qualified for consideration for 2009 Academy Awards in the non-specialized categories are listed alphabetically by title. Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch mem - bers filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for . For that reason, the Reminder List provides a listing of up to fifty cast members for each film. Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category. Foreign Language films are eligible for awards in other categories provided they meet the requirements of Awards Rules Two and Three. Notes A ADAM Hugh Dancy. Rose Byrne. Frankie Faison.

Prólogo segunda edición Cuando hice la primera edición de este libro que tienes en las manos, no sabía si tendría aceptación, ni si recibiría el reconocimiento a todo el esfuerzo que puse en llevar a cabo este proyecto, lo cual era lo de menos para mí porque lo que quería era hacer un libro de consulta, donde se pudieran encontrar datos referentes a las películas de las que hablo. Las expectativas no pudieron ser mejores. El libro causó grata impresión en quien lo leyó. A las diferentes Asociaciones, Fundaciones, Federaciones y Centros que trabajan en el mundo de la discapacidad, donde llegó la obra para sus bibliotecas, les pareció interesante, por lo que mis expectativas estaban cumplidas. Pero hubo muchas demandas y los libros se agotaron pronto, por lo que me embarqué en preparar una segunda edición.
