Beukey on Pop Culture

This blog will focus on pop culture, with an emphasis on views outside, overlooked, or ignored by the mainstream. I may veer off-topic. We are all grown-ups, so don't act shocked at occasional bad language. This blog is not the place for those of you who stood in line to see "The Lake House".

Can This Finally Be The Weekend?

I have waited for years for the general population to wake up to what an unfunny, Hackey, Joke, and Dunnit, no-talent that Mike Meyers is. I have read two reviews of The Love Guru that state that the reviewer did not laugh once.

America, what took so long? Austin Powers was three movies of dick jokes and seventh-grade puns. Yet you all lapped it up while I railed on Cassandra-like hoping to find someone that realized how unfunny it all was. A comedy needs to have originality. Anyone can take jokes out of an old joke book and put them up on the big screen. You need to do more, especially if you are earning, I mean making millions of dollars to make a movie.

Meyers felt the need to again drag Vern Troyer on the screen. So he could make the same unfunny size jokes for a fourth time. "Meyers and Troyer" isn't exactly Laurel and Hardy, or even Abbot and Costello.

Please, please, please let this movie crater, and let Mike Meyers go back to whatever obscurity he has been living in for the last 4 years.
