Hehe (laughing), Melanie. I guess you are about the same age as me since I graduated HS in class of 69 (no comments, plz). I'll liken the movie series to this: they're like the silly slapstick seen on SNL (Saturday Night Live) these days, but with a bigger budget. SNL had its heyday. With John Belushi, Eddie, etc. Even John Candy and a few others I shouldn't neglect mentioning. But the first 5 years of SNL (and even the ill-fated Fridays) were more in-depth comedy. IMHO. I figure it has its place, the AP stuff. Escapism comes to mind. But, the flare of "Snatch", weaving so many things together that aren't apparent from the beginning...that's talent...if you can understand the REALLY cockney accents...grin. That's comedy art. Not slapstick sexual innuendos accompanied by a thin plot. But like art in the galleries, it appeals to whom it appeals. Some like one kind of art, others, well, others...grin. I guess I just find it bothersome that the 3rd in the series of Austin Powers movies has set a record of being the 5th largest opening weekend of all time. Maybe it has to do with the WTC disaster, ongoing terrorist threats, chemical attacks, etc. Maybe pure escapism is the key word. Or maybe too many teenagers with too much pocket money...LOL. Maybe I should just go see it and have the benefit of more than the 15 minutes I had a few years ago. But, ugh, I think you have to have a certain amount of acceptance of Mike to begin with...grin.
