What impact did the movie Spies Like Us have on you?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

It made me, as a 10 year old realize that this whole Cold War crap was just that - CRAP!!!

1. It showed me just how far Paul McCartney had fallen as a songwriter

So sad.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. Too true - even as a 10 byear old I perceived it as sacrilidge

Oddly enough his close confidant MJ ripped him and the rest of the Beatles off - in his own advice!

10. the book was SOOOOOOO much better than the film

though to be fair, I enjoyed the film alot before I read the book.

[TexasMexican]

13. There is a book?

is the book more serious or is it also like comedy?

[BigMcLargehuge]

16. There are a whole series of Fletch books

very witty mysteries. Greg McDonald, I think, is the author.

[TexasMexican]

17. LoL NM

I thought you were talking about "Spys like US." I didnt see which post you were replying to.

6. it impacted me enough to name my goldfish Austin Milbarge

kind of an uneven movie in retrospect... but I liked it when they pretended to be aliens to spook the Russian mobile launcher crew.

7. It answered the question:

What's a dickfur?

[yolatengo]

11. 3 things...

1. "Soul Finger" by The Bar Kays ROCKS!
2. Greg Marmalard is Greg Marmalard.
3. With the right retards in power, that sort of thing COULD HAPPEN.

12. I thought the whole Star Wars thing was cool...

too bad it missed.

[tridim]

14. It taught me that Bob Hope was the master of the pointless cameo

I loved that movie even though it sucked. I was 14 at the time. The test cheating scene was really funny.

[RandomKoolzip]

15. Seeing that there was a character named "Austin" in the film

made me happy. And the "dickfer" joke still makes me laugh. But the theme song bleeewww, and the movie itself was third-rate post-SNL typicomedy.

"Three Amigos" was much better.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. Three Amigos was light years beyond gut - where the hell have you been?

Ray Charles died today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RandomKoolzip]

20. I know. I know.

Ray "No Nickname" Charles, RIP......Now why isn't HIS death all over the news, with a week long funeral and a state holiday......?


Where have I been? In the trenches, lad.

21. That dark haired russian spy was HOT!
