Remember that part, about midway through Saving Private Ryan, when everyone looked at their movie going companions in moderate surprise and confusion? We all whispered the same thing: "wait a minute... is that Ted Danson?". He was fine in his small role, and we all forget that he had a career as a dramatic actor before Cheers, but it still stuck out like a sore thumb. Apparently Quentin Tarantino remembers that too. That guy who narrates the first portion of this Inglorious Bastards clip? Yup, that's Mike Myers. According to a Google search, his casting is old news, but I had no idea (I certainly would have brought it up while discussing The Love Guru in my end-of-summer wrap article).
Anyway, I'm amused that this heavily self-indulgent clip can't even say the name of the movie, since it's airing during the 8pm family hour of Fox's American Idol. I wonder if Joe Lieberman would have anything to say, since this is just the sort of 'marketing R-rated movies to youth audiences' that had him in such a tizzy back in 2000.
