that has been assigned to us to write about, Austin Powers: The
Spy Who Shagged Me, Mike Myers from Saturday Night Live plays a
secret agent named Austin Powers. He did this before, in the
first Austin Powers movie, though not on Saturday Night Live,
where he doesn't actually make appearances anymore, except when
he's a guest. I didn't used to watch Saturday Night Live back
when Mike Myers was on, because in high school my friends didn't
really watch that program, or if we did we didn't admit it,
because of its being on on Saturday night. But we knew about
Mike Myers, especially from the second Wayne's World, and that's
part of what's interesting about this new movie, in that it's
mostly about time travel, and old things like the sixties.
