Mike Myers has to do SOMETHING to get himself back on top. He was once a hot comodity and now he is that guy who did the same movie 4 times. People are tired of his schtick.
So how does he reinvent himself? Well for starters he has to not star in his own film. The guy has to take a break and let people see why we loved him to begin with. And where better than to start than in a Tarantino flick! That’s right, Mike Myers could be an Inglorious Bastard
Some of you sceptics out there will fume at this news, but I’m getting confirmation that Mike Myers will have a SMALL role in Inglorious Bastards.
Myers can really do good stuff when he tries, but I think he has just found himself surrounded by crowds that just fold over every time he inhales that he stopped having to try. Now he is learning the hard way that we don’t really like to see sequels made up of the gags he didn’t think were good enough for the first one.
I loved Myers in 54. And I would love to see him take a departure from his character comedy to do other things so that we can learn to laugh with him again.
