Jay Roach on the problem Mike Myers & he faced after the test screening of "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Sh@gged Me" (1999): "The first movie never tested well. It never got above a 55, which is so low. There was scepticism. People had expectations of Mike Myers, because...

Heather Graham on working with Mike Myers in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Sh@gged Me" (1999): "He’s different than you would think. He’s pretty serious. He talked about the movie in a really intellectual way – it almost sounded like he was describing a Greek tragedy. He was using a lot of very complex words to describe stuff. I just thought it was funny that he was using a very classical structure to describe the different things that happen in the plot. He’s very religious about talking structure – he takes it very seriously." ("Yeah, Baby, It’s Mike Myers’ World", Chris Heath, Rolling Stone, 1999)

Mike Myers on the genesis of 'Austin Powers' (1997): "After my dad died in 1991, I was taking stock of his influence on me as a person and his influence on me with comedy in general. So 'Austin Powers' (1997) was a tribute to my father, who [introduced me to] James Bond, Peter Sellers, The Beatles, The Goodies, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I wrote it in 1995, and the bones of the script came out in two weeks. It was one of those things where I didn’t know if anybody would get this movie who didn’t grow up in my house. But when I showed it to [director] Jay Roach — we had met at a party and become movie buddies — he gave me 10 pages of typewritten notes. Everything he said made it better."

Jerry Springer, born OTD in 1944, often spoofed his own persona and show. In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) Mike Myers knew you don’t need to exaggerate, just recreate it exactly. This isn’t a spoof; it’s a tribute. The Jerry Springer Show was really like this. 🤣

Daniel Craig on how Mike Myers's "Austin Powers" movies f**ked the James Bond franchise: "Interviewer: How much of 'Skyfall' (2012) was a reaction to 'Quantum of Solace' (2008) or 'Casino Royale' (2006)? Craig: I am very, very keen that you can't make films in a reactionary way. You can't do it! There has been a lot of talk, from the beginning from 'Casino' into 'Quantum' because everyone has gone, "Where's the 'Bondness'? Where's all the old stuff?" I was given this chance by Barbara and Michael, which is the first of the books, and the conceit is we began again, but I couldn't come in and pretend to be James Bond, because everyone knows Bond as Pierce or Roger or Timothy or Sean. I couldn't come in and go, "Hmm, Martini," or whatever. It's not who I am, and how I kind of approach things. The truth of it is that I always had this plan in my head is that we got to make them and begin them again and bring all that back in, but it had to happen the way it did. I can't see it happening any other way. We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f**ked us - I am a huge Mike Myers fan, so don't get me wrong - but he kind of f**ked us; made it impossible to do the gags. What I am proudest of in 'Skyfall' is the lightness of touch we've been able to bring to back into it but not lose the drama and the action." (Daniel Craig's interview to MI6, 2014) P.S: On this day, 29 years ago, "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1999) premiered in Los Angeles, USA.

Luke Greenfield on why "The Girl Next Door" (2004) failed at the Box Office: "The Studio executives were expecting something the realm of 'American Pie' (1999) didn't know how to explain to them that it was going to be a lot more real and a lot more edgy and a lot more volatile and unpredictable. I kept saying that, and I don't think they understood it until they saw my director's cut." Greenfield's director's cut was met with mixed reactions from executives because of its adu!t content and dangerous situations. When they got to scenes such as Timothy Olyphant beating the sh!t out of Emile Hirsch and bloodying his face, I remember one of the studio people saying, 'Okay, this is f**king not 'American Pie'. We were really lucky [with the test audience]. We tested the director's cut, and it tested enormously high. So high, in fact, that hardly any changes were made. Arnon Milchon [the head of New Regency] and Tom Rothman, they were literally telling me it was a guaranteed hit. The movie was going to make so much money that it was going to be Arnon Milchon's next 'Pretty Woman' (1990). It was going to hit every demographic. Everyone was talking such an enormous game. Our movie, there was such a challenge, because we're at 20th Century Fox, which at the time was a very conservative studio. The idea that they had to go out there and sell an R-rated movie about teenagers and about a kid falling in love with a p0rn star? They tried. They spent money. They didn't know how to do it. I got in there and I was trying to cut trailers too. We had worked with some of the best trailer editors. In the end, what's really funny is that -- everyone knows this, no one is at fault -- the marketing destroyed the movie. Two weeks prior to coming out, we were tracking that the people who wanted to see the movie were 14 year old girls, The young males, 18 to 30, wanted nothing to do with the film. They thought it looked cheesy and stupid. Never in a million years were they going to see it. I cannot say I was not disappointed when the movie came out. It was a big marketing challenge and they couldn't reach that audience." ("The Juice Was Worth The Squeeze: Looking Back On 'The Girl Next Door'", Christopher Rosen, Huff Post, 2014)

🛑🇧🇫- Burkina Faso’s PM on how how our gold was being looted. This is what Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo was saying on national television about our artisanal gold: “Imagine, we were getting less than 500kg of gold. And last year (with SONASP), we almost got 10 tons. However, this year by the month of September alone, it was already 36 tons. In the past, Burkina Faso had no gold reserves at all. They were coming, they were the ones who go down in the mines, no Burkinabè was there. They were the ones who will come out and say, “Ah, this is what we got! And we only had to nod and accept it.” Once it leaves the mines, it goes directly to the airport where a plane ✈️ is waiting for it, and when it’s finally loaded, it takes off and that was it. Nothing stays in the country. Is this acceptable? This is unacceptable! But it’s over now! Even in the big mines they still have, we have our people there to control them, so that everything can be clear, so that if they say this is the amount of tons that we brought out, at least we are all witnesses of it.” - End of quote. I, Marcus or any Burkinabè who is well aware can attest to this. I was living in Kombissiri in the year 2010-2011, and frequently, I could hear the bikers escorting the gold in full speed like a presidential escort heading to Ouagadougou which is just at about 40km from Kombissiri. At first, I didn’t know it was gold being transported. Until one day, I asked the neighbors and the police and they told me it was gold going to the airport. I was like damn! People are looting our gold! I don’t remember the name of the mine they told me, but Kombissiri was the route they were following. So, this confirms what the PM is saying. But thank God for Capitaine Ibrahim TRAORÉ ! We have none of that shit anymore.

On this day, 41 years ago, Peter Weir's "Witness" (1985) starring Harrison Ford & Kelly McGillis was released in the USA. Originally, there were 2 pages of dialogue for the final scene in 'Witness' (1985), but Peter Weir cut it, despite the insistence of the studio: "I got into a tricky spot with my first American film 'Witness' (1985). At the end of that movie, the police detective played by Harrison Ford is leaving the farm to go back to his life in Philadelphia and he goes to say goodbye to the Amish woman. Their romance is clearly not going to go anywhere. You see him driving away and passing the Amish man coming down the hill and you realize that she is going to have a life with him. Originally there were two pages of dialogue in which Harrison explained why he was leaving and she gave her feelings to him. It was very literal, and I cut it all because we didn’t need it. The producer told me that the studio would never accept it because we need to know what they are feeling. I knew that if I had done my job properly, you would know exactly how they were feeling by the time it was all cut together. They just look at each other. It’s hopeless, it’s beyond words. The executive from the studio, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was at Paramount at the time, flew out to talk to me and suggested I shoot it both ways just in case. That seemed a waste of time to me so Jeff asked me to paint a picture in words for him and tell it like a story. So, over coffee in this restaurant in Lancaster Pennsylvania, I told him. He thought it sounded fine." ('Filmcraft - Directing', Mike Goodridge, 2012)

NEW: A witness who was at the McDonald's where Luigi Mangione was caught, says he and a friend joked at Mangione that he looked like the New York sh**ter. McDonald’s customer, Larry, said he and a friend were joking so loud that Mangione could hear them. "One of my friends, and I thought he was kidding when the sh**ter... who they made the arrest on came in, he made a comment: 'Well, that looks like the shooter from New York.'" "But the group of us thought it was more of a joke and we were kidding about it. But then as it turned out, it was him." Larry says he didn't think much of it and left the restaurant to go to church. It wasn't until later that he realized he was joking about the actual sh**ter.

MINGYU TALKING ABOUT THE FOOTAGE OF HIM, DOKYEOM, AND JEONGHAN DURING THE MATCH😂🤍 so those 3 actually did bad challenge with the palm cheering stick. He had a feeling that he might get caught on cam, but it turned out the clip looks like he was getting upset over food😭 #도겸 🐶 I had that kind of feeling. I was worried I might get caught on camera at least once. But Lee Dokyeom and Yoon Jeonghan, these guys, suddenly, while San was doing the Bad challenge, they looked at me. So the three of us got together, and there was that palm shaped cheering stick that sounds tatatata, so three of us did it together like this 🐶But the problem? In the Coupang Play clip, the footage of San doing it was filmed right in front with the camera and shown. But on the big screen we were watching, instead of being shown through the live broadcast camera, they showed it in a full shot. We were like, what is that? They should show that properly to the audience with the main camera 🐶It was so funny. After it was over, I checked to see if maybe we had been caught on camera or if any sightings of us had come up, but that was the only video going around

This is the harrowing reality of what detransitioners face, says Chloe Cole ⭐️: “The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them. I was subhuman even. … They told me: ‘This is all your fault. Don't put this on us. You were the one who said yes, you were the one who wanted this. You were a complete idiot for not knowing that you weren't truly transgender. So don't come crying to us. And you should shut up about this because you might scare somebody out of getting the care that they really need. And you are a waste of resources. You are a waste of the love and support of your family. You didn't deserve the support of your doctors. You didn't deserve any of this. So stay quiet and stop being a problem.’ …There were people who were trying to compel me to retransition, people who were trying to tell me to kill myself, even just for the fact that I was going against the dogma. And I stayed low for a little bit. I apologized to the same people who were abusing me because I was a freshly traumatized 16 year old girl. I had been bullied in school before, but nobody had ever treated me this horribly over such a painful part of my life. But after a while of being painfully isolated. I started to really think the way that they are treating me is not deserved. I'm speaking to nothing but my experience, to the way that I feel and to reality. I'm going to speak up, regardless of whether they want me to or not. And I just knew that there had to be other detransitioners out there. And very quickly, I learned that they were in the thousands. And I'm sure that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled over the years, the amount of us who are out there. We are never going to know the real numbers. …And some of the harassment, the hatred I faced over the years has gotten worse. I've been doxxed. I have had people assaulting me, chasing after me in government buildings, who have tried to hurt me, who have wished death upon me.”

CNN’s Scott Jennings on Vice President JD Vance’s speech at #AmFest2025 and the right's support for Israel: “Well, JD Vance was and is trying to appeal to the most people possible because he anticipates being the nominee of the Republican Party in 2028 and he has had relationships with a lot of the people whose names you heard on the stage. You know, there's more information today than we had yesterday. They took a straw poll of all the people who went to Turning Point’s event. So, this is thousands and thousands of people, 87% of them in the straw poll said that Israel was either a top ally or an ally of the United States. On top of that, they asked the people who were there, what are the biggest issues facing the United States? Number one, radical Islam. So, when you look at what the people who were in the audience think, it sounds like they were really more with Ben Shapiro than they were with some of the other people who were attacking Ben Shapiro. There were rather clear eyed about who our friends are and the difference between right and wrong, at least as it relates to the people who were in the crowd.”

.Ben Lerer describes how chasing VC money took the joy out of running one of his early businesses: "Our first few years, we were profitable and stayed small. It was amazing. We had a small community of people that were diehard and advertisers who really felt the needle move, and it was wonderful." "What happened was: the space got attention from big VCs. People wanted to get in on the gold rush. A bunch of people raised a bunch of money, and I was one of them. The idea was - you have to grow into those valuations." "They were not fatal mistakes, but they were ultimately the thing that took a lot of the joy out of the business. We got obsessed with figuring out - how do you keep growing and how do you keep doubling year over year." "The way to do it right is to do what you love and stay relatively small and build a real community-based thing."

People wanted to get in on the gold rush. A bunch of people raised a bunch of money, and I was one of them. The idea was - you have to grow into those valuations." "They were not fatal mistakes, but they were ultimately the thing that took a lot of the joy out of the business. We got obsessed with figuring out - how do you keep growing and how do you keep doubling year over year." "The way to do it right is to do what you love and stay relatively small and build a real community-based thing."

The OFFICIAL Preview With The Real Mike Rowe "The American Dream died a long time ago, and I'm really glad it did. It died in 1783, when we signed the Treaty of Paris and actually became the United States. Prior to that, everything we had dreamt of. life, liberty, the pursuit of Tappiness. they were dreams. And then they were real. So yeah, the American Dream was a thing. And then it turned into the American reality."

Farmer: As soon as Maurene Comey was fired, I had a sinking feeling in my stomach about what they were up to, because I believed it was not in the best interest of survivors. There were obviously multiple things going on. There was also an element of retribution toward her family and her father. But the sequence of events—Maurene being fired and then Blanche meeting with Maxwell…I was reaching out to SDNY asking what was going on and whether we could get any information, and it became very clear that they had been completely left out of the loop. The attorneys who had spent years investigating Maxwell’s crimes, who knew her inside and out, who led the trial and secured the conviction, were not included at all in the process of approaching her for information. That is highly suspicious.

Last Saturday, we held the Jesus Revolution Baptism at Pirate’s Cove. This of course is the Site of the Baptisms of the Jesus Movement. But we never had a baptism like what happened yesterday. We baptized 4500 people! There was a line of folks waiting by the seawall. People Came from all around the Nation and World! This may be the largest baptism in American history, maybe world history. God Knows, but it was AMAZING! We give Him all the Glory! It reminds me of what happened on the day of Pentecost. “Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.” (Acts 2:41)

Interestingly, we tried as much as possible to get to sit and interview the 27 people who held the first service of the Covenant Nation The Covenant Nation with me 30 years ago. They were basically all students of the University of Lagos at that time. There was nothing else but a conviction that we had something from God. Here's a clip from the documentary. #3DaysToCovenant30th
