Mike Myers Coming Back for 'Austin Powers 4' (Insert Catchphrase)

It was goofy as all hell, but there was a charm to the "Austin Powers" trilogy (okay, maybe just the first two movies) that made them wildly entertaining.

Sure, the franchise's many catchphrases have been run into the ground, but who takes the blame for that, the movie or the people who still thought it was funny to say "YEAH baby!" ten years later?

Well, those quotemongers have something to jump about today as Mike Myers has officially signed on to do "Austin Powers 4," which will undoubtedly have a suitably inappropriate title later.

Myers has been noticeably absent from live-action movies, especially since the disaster that was "The Love Guru." Of course, when you're the star of the "Shrek" series, it's not like you have to do much else anyway...that series is a flippin' gold mine.

It's going to take a fresh perspective to breathe life into this series of movies, the last of which was back in 2002, in order to make it more along the lines of "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" than "Austin Powers in Goldmember." I'm staying positive that Myers, and the franchise, will return to form with this fourth installment.

Though I'm not sure that I'd want to deal with people asking me if they make me randy for the next decade.
