Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

If you go back and watch the Sean Connery Bond films they were satirizing, Austin Powers was a much better person than James Bond. Better agent, too. Bond kinda sucked.

Also, those Bond films were thirty years before Austin Powers. If you wanted to make a similar movie today, you'd have to be satirizing Austin Powers. Maybe that could work, a meta-satiricial send-up of 90's and early 00's satirical movies. Maybe even the last third of the film gets ironically nostalgic for the first third of the same film. "Remember when we did that pre-opening action sequence?

It wouldn't be satirizing Austin Powers; it'd be satirizing Pierce Brosnan's Bond.

I was gonna say I’d watch that movie but it wouldn’t compare to my imagination so I’m just gonna thank you for the movie I just imagined.
