Pete Townshend vs Austin Powers

oh pete...

quote: "Austin Powers has done a lot of damage to the image of swinging London, parodying what had already been parodied by lazy American newsreels over the years"

damage? wtf??? it's just a hommage to style and nothing more than harmless fun.

quote: "So in a sense my mission is to bring back some of the greyness, the bleakness of those years, and demonstrate to the cast that what happened simply had to happen, otherwise we would all have gone nuts. It wasn't an optional outing of boys playing on scooters; it was a vital rebellion."

your cast is dumb if their knowledge is hollywood-based. come on, you're no medieval priest talking bout the life of brian.
