Just ordered my poster. Hopefully my source gets the restock they'ye scheduled to get. Geeze, go to eBay. Wacky.
Goldmember was a crappy title anyway, sounds like a credit card ad, and nearly as bad as Attack of the Killer Clones.
It sounds like a pretty clever spoof (double entendre) of both Goldfinger and the credit-card company to me ("member", of course, referring to that part of the anatomy BELOW THE BELT: "Yeahhh, Ba-by!!!").
Is it time for another petition?
What good would that do?
I believe this is just about the title and nothing related to the film's content, Michael.
...and to reply to the two previous posts, I think the concern on MGM's part isn't the similarity, but the combination of the similarity and the fact that the minor change involves a penis reference.

How can MGM be merely upset about the title when this supposedly happens and there is a character called Goldmember? Read this article speculating "some serious tweaking."

"Goldmember" GONE as title for Austin Powers 3!
Drat! I guess this rules out any future possibility of an Austin Powers movie named Octoweenie.
I don't get it...
Gold-member
Gold-finger
what does a 'member' have to do with a 'finger'?
