Well, this is what happens when distinguished comedians fall prey to the Jim Carrey syndrome. Once you start pandering to be a dramatic actor, you can't go back to comedy without looking like a shill who rather be elsewhere and you can't go into drama without looking like a complete poser. So you're stuck in the middle doing bad comedies or worse Oscar-grubbing dramas.

Way it goes. Personally, I think he was better off being a Elder Comedy Statesman.

he was born a poor black child. :(

Jesus is a parapalegic black woman :(

Wait, I stole that from some where :/

Bowfinger is terribly underrated. :/

Royal Tenenbaum Feb 16th, 2003 12:30 PM

Bowfinger is awesome; I thought it was his best comedy to date. The Jerk is still a classic as well, to bad the DVD eats ass.

Apparently you guys haven't seen any commercials for his new movie. :/

He is offically broke if he needs to be in a movie like this one.

Could someone maybe tell me WHAT THE FUCK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT??

When a lonely guy (Martin) meets a woman (Latifah) on the Internet who happens to be in prison, she breaks out to be with him, and proceeds to wreak havok on his middle-class life.

With such HILARIOUS scenes as Steve Martin dressing like a rapper (complete with backwards hat!), someone insulting his outfit, and him saying "Really? Cuz I got dis from yo momma!"

Zbu Manowar Feb 16th, 2003 01:53 PM

When Latifah hits him square in the groin, I almost cheered. Shit, he should be producing movies now, not starring in them.

Royal Tenenbaum Feb 16th, 2003 06:38 PM

He should have pulled a Bill Murray and realized that a whole lot of Steve Martin is old hat but a little bit can go a long way. He should stick to supporting roles.

Or he can go back to writing his own material, where his best work springs from.

Damn straight. And stay away from the fucking drama shit. I don't care who directs it, seeing Steve Martin in a dramatic film is like seeing Carrot Top fucking a dog: it's just wrong.

Mixed Nuts :)

Jixby Phillips Feb 16th, 2003 11:50 PM

OH WAH WAH WAH HES IN A BAD MOVIE HE DIDN'T WRITE WAH WAH WAH

Zbu Manowar Feb 16th, 2003 11:54 PM

Mixed Nuts was okay, but that's because everyone else either meshed with him making the material better than it was--Nora Ephron's stuff is NOT good--or the other actors had goofier roles, making Martin the straight man in a movie full of neurotic crazies. Come on, it's easy to be the normal one when you have Liev Schreiber in a dress. ;)
