Kids will be streaming into multiplexes this weekend for Austin Powers in Goldmember. They will be lured by a flood of TV spots, a million-dollar-giveaway fast-food tie-in--and the chance to see Mike Myers pee into the mouth of a supine villain.

And what will the preteens raised on Austin Powers have to watch - or want to watch - when they grow...
