Last Time: South Park>+20
First off, please take note of the future nominations. Ought to be easy to figure out the last three. Due to recent events, I thought it would be cool to put them on the gauge. Anyway...
An impressive showing from South Park, garnering no votes against it whatsoever, a first for this game might I add. However, it did not receive enough votes to take it's thrown back. Now for the first movie in a series that was said to start classic yet get very stale as time went on...has time been friendly to this film?
NOTE-This is for the first Austin Powers movie "...International Man of Mystery" ONLY!!! This vote is not on the series as a whole. The sequels will be up for a vote at a later date.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a 1997 American comedy film that is the first film of the Austin Powers series. It was directed by Jay Roach and written by Mike Myers who also stars in the title role. Myers also plays Dr. Evil, Austin Powers' arch-enemy. The film co-stars Elizabeth Hurley as Vanessa Kensington, Robert Wagner as Number Two, Seth Green as Scott Evil, and Michael York as Basil Exposition. There are cameos by Will Ferrell, Carrie Fisher, Tom Arnold, Rob Lowe, Christian Slater, Neil Mullarkey, and Burt Bacharach, and an uncredited cameo by MADtv star Michael McDonald, among many others.
The film is a parody of the early James Bond films (particularly those starring Sean Connery) as well as other 1960s spy films.
The film, which cost $16.5 million, opened on May 2, 1997, to positive critical reviews. It made a modest impact at the box office, grossing US$53 million in its North American release and about US$68 million worldwide. The film later became a hit and cult classic on the home video market and cable television, spawning two more commercially successful sequels.

Rules-
The idea is simple. I will (at least make an attempt to) post a TV Show, a movie, a comedian, or something of another ilk each day. I will also provide a description ala wikipedia and a youtube link to a clip should one be available. All you need to do is simply vote whether you believe the item is funny or not. If you vote "funny", the item will gain 1 point. If you vote "not funny" the item loses a point. The total score at the end of the voting period will determine where that item is on the leaderboard. After 20 days, I will then crown champions for each subject (TV Show, Movie, Comedian, Other), an overall champion (highest score of all) and an eternal jobber (worst score of all). I will continue to run the thread, but I will keep track of what items we think are the funniest in each subject.
The voting goes as follows:
Hilarious (adds two points)
Funny (adds one point)
Meh/Never seen it (adds and subtracts nothing)
Not funny (takes away one point)
Horrible (takes away two points)
One other thing I allow is the nomination of items from you, the wrestlecrappers. If you shoot me a PM of something you want nominated, I might put it up, provided it follows a few ground rules (more info below). I will say that spamming my inbox with the same nomination will pretty much ruin your chances, and so will being a jerk if your nomination isn't ran. I do not play favorites with nominations by item nor the users that submit them. I nominated several items by reader request that I absolutely despised the last time around and left off several things I would have put at the top of my own list. I save the PMs of most requests, only deleting them when I have fulfilled all of the requests within OR if it breaks one of the request rules. I like to revisit them if I am short on ideas. Just because something you request isn't nominated right away does not mean it will be left off completely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules for requesting a nomination:
-Through PM ONLY
-Please keep it within the TOS
-Don't spam several requests or lots within one message. 3 requests per message max.
-Nothing Wrestlecrap related (in the interest of fairness)
-No "characters" from a movie or TV show
