This movie was hilarious! I laughed non-stop through the whole thing. I do think a lot of the jokes were aimed specifically at Canadian's, though, so other countries may not understand some of the uhh colourful references to Quebec or our obsession with the Leafs, lol.

How do they judge $5m? the weekend isn't even over yet... if it has done 5m in 24 hours, it could do another 5m in 24 hours.. when the weekend is actually over.

They usually judge it by how big the opening day is because if its a big hype the money it takes first day will be 90% what it takes all weekend...anyway this is where I read it.

That movie was...uhhh...errr...just...disastrous. It was the most juvenile, immature mess I've ever seen in my life. The satire was unfunny, the jokes were recycled and so lame. There was so much dead air thorughout the movie, except for the few times the retards in the theater laughed at his peepee or dick or **** jokes...

Only 5 scenes were funny...other than that, I sat there feeling sorry for Mike Myers. If you don't believe me, read the reviews; 22% on metacritic...

How old are you?

Seriously? What was the funny? The tasteless mop ****-tag game? Any one of the 100 penis jokes or double entendres? Maybe it was the sexist and midget jokes..

As far as the Maple Leafs jokes or the "Le grande ****" pun go, I failed to see the funny. They were just LAME joke leveled at a team that has gotten its share of ridicule - enough now, it's no longer funny. And I've also heard enough Quebec jokes; the ones in the movie were just downright gay. Way to stuff your crotch with newspapers Justin, it made the scene a lot funnier...

You're sitting there asking someone how old they are when you sit there insulting him for his opinion? He thought something was funny, yet you insist it was utterly lame, and you're asking how old he is? You refer to the jokes in the movie as "gay" as in bad, and you're asking how old he is? Really? :blink:

The jokes WERE gay. That wasn't a metaphor...and why the **** are you defending the movie anyway? Its rating on metacritic is 24%, on rotten tomatoes 15%, the lowest of any box-office hit. And if you're gonna give me that ****ing "it's only an opinion " bull****, well, you need to get your **** together. Some people saw Hitler as a hero, but we shouldn't discount our universal view of him as a war-monger now, should we?

And when I asked him his age...This movie was a juvenile catastrophe...only a very immature audience with an extremely unsophisticated humor would find that garbage funny; it was catered for an American audience so to speak.

You really need to chill out.

How are you going to sit there and call others immature and ignorant when you're using the word "gay" to describe how stupid the movie is? Do you not see the immaturity and ignorance of everything you've posted? Especially in the way you're using the word "gay"?. Don't give me the excuse "Oh I'm just using it to describe something that's stupid" because that's just a pathetic excuse and it's getting old.

If anyone is immature here, it's you. Not everyone likes the same type of comedy. Just because you think it's stupid, doesn't mean everyone else in the world is going to agree. You're being a little too over-dramatic about this whole thing. It's a movie for crying out loud. Get over it. Nobody forced you to watch it and you keep bringing up how it got awful reviews, yet you still went to see it. You only have yourself to blame there.

I'll probably wait for a video release to be honest. Mike Myers IMHO has gone down hill since Austin Powers 1. The sequal was good still but IMHO not as great and by the 3rd it was all just a rehash of the others and a real lemon in what had been a good series.

The trailer to this didn't look very good at all...and the fact he's playing a sex guru after three Austin power films to me indicated he'd be using the same sort of Austin Powers sex/mojo jokes that we've seen before. Unless I've missed some of his films since Austin Powers 1 that deviates from the sex god role, I do think he should try and reinvent his role a bit. He's funny enough but hes pidgeonholed in the same role and it's running out of steam fast.

    • BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta

      By Copernic · Posted

      BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta by Razvan Serea When your computer is getting full, BleachBit quickly frees disk space. When your information is only your business, BleachBit guards your privacy. With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there. Designed for Linux and Windows systems, it wipes clean thousands of applications including Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and more. Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster. Better than free, BleachBit is open source. BleachBit has many useful features: Delete your private files so completely that "even God can't read them" according to South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy. Simple operation: read the descriptions, check the boxes you want, click preview, and click delete. Multi-platform: Linux and Windows Free of charge and no money trail Free to share, learn, and modify (open source) No adware, spyware, malware, browser toolbars, or "value-added software" Translated to 64 languages besides American English Shred files to hide their contents and prevent data recovery Shred any file (such as a spreadsheet on your desktop) Overwrite free disk space to hide previously deleted files Portable app for Windows: run without installation Command line interface for scripting and automation CleanerML allows anyone to write a new cleaner using XML Automatically import and update winapp2.ini cleaner files (a separate download) giving Windows users access to 2500+ additional cleaners Frequent software updates with new features Going beyond standard deletion of files, BleachBit has several advanced cleaners: Clear the memory and swap on Linux Delete broken shortcuts on Linux Delete the Firefox URL history without deleting the whole file—with optional shredding Delete Linux localizations: delete languages you don't use. More powerful than localepurge and available on more Linux distributions. Clean APT for Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Linux Mint Find widely-scattered junk such as Thumbs.db and .DS_Store files. Execute yum clean for CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat to remove cached package data Delete Windows registry keys—often where MRU (most recently used) lists are stored Delete the OpenOffice.org recent documents list without deleting the whole Common.xcu file Overwrite free disk space to hide previously files Vacuum Firefox, Google Chrome, Liferea, Thunderbird, and Yum databases: shrink files without removing data to save space and improve speed Surgically remove private information from .ini and JSON configuration files and SQLite3 databases without deleting the whole file Overwrite data in SQLite3 before deleting it to prevent recovery (optional) BleachBit 6.0.1 Beta release notes: BleachBit 6.0.1 beta is now available for testing. This maintenance-focused release includes bug fixes, updated translations, and a range of safe enhancements. This release fixes a Windows security issue that could allow arbitrary file deletion during privileged cleaning (reported by Zeze with TeamT5). It also adds new cleaners (including a DNS cache cleaner, Claude Code, and Visual Studio Code forks), support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles, new deep scan options for developer directories like node_modules and venv, and safer, faster file shredding. All Platforms Added cleaners for Claude Code, DNS cache, and many Visual Studio Code forks. Added support for multiple Chrome and Edge profiles. Chrome can now clean downloaded AI models. Deep Scan can optionally remove venv, __pycache__, node_modules, and .angular directories. Deep Scan is faster by skipping directories on the keep list. File shredding is safer, faster, and leaves fewer recoverable traces. Improved handling of cookies, symlinks, Unicode filenames, external processes, and configuration files. Improved Expert Mode warnings and long warning dialogs. Fixed crashes related to cleaner detection, invalid Unicode, and malformed cleaner data. Clipboard is now cleared automatically after shredding files via paste operations. Linux Added AppImage support. Added cleaners for Visual Studio Code, Codeium, Librewolf (.deb), Transmission (Flatpak), and Profanity. Improved Linux trash detection, including Snap-installed applications and mounted drives. Fixed Wayland root CLI issues and several Snap-related problems. Improved package dependencies, AppStream metadata, and desktop file handling. Fixed startup crashes when Python Requests is unavailable. Windows Fixed a security vulnerability that could allow arbitrary file deletion when cleaning with elevated privileges. Added %WindowsSystem% variable support. Improved clipboard clearing using native Windows APIs. Improved installer experience on unsupported Windows versions. Reduced installer size and improved application robustness. Fixed Unicode handling, filename anonymization, Git revision reporting, and splash screen stability.

      DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).
