January 19 movie: From Russia With Love. Okay, now I get the Bond thing. This one was also campy and silly, but Sean Connery is cool enough to carry it off. Roger Moore, not so much. As Georg pointed out the source material for Austin Powers is abundant: the villain stroking the kitty cat, the matronly Russian henchwoman, etc. I don't actually remember anything about the plot except that they were in Istanbul, there was a gypsy catfight, and the bad guys had daggers that popped out of the toes of their shoes. Austin Powers should have ripped that off too, it was so silly.
