Okay, I went to the IMDB to see just when Steve Martin's career collapsed. I remember him being a funny man (not a very funny one) but somewhere along the line his career just....well, fell though the floor, broke its legs, and died while trying to climb the stairs in a puddle of his own feces and blood. But looking at his filmography is quite revealing. His career isn't a curve or a plateau as a bunch of luck. Out of about twenty or thirty movies he had, only three I could classify as being funny: THE JERK THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES And these had a bunch of unfunny years in between. But since 1988 (right after PLANES, TRAINS....) his career took a downward slide when all of a sudden he decided he could do drama. He jinxed himself and spat in the face of what he had going for him: a lot of supposed cred from his SNL days which he milked for all that it was worth. But still...we got these stinkers: Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) .... Mr. Chairman Bringing Down the House (2003) .... Peter Sanderson Novocaine (2001) .... Dr. Frank Sangster Joe Gould's Secret (2000) .... Charlie Duell Fantasia/2000 (1999) .... Host (Film Introduction) Bowfinger (1999) .... Bobby Bowfinger Out-of-Towners, The (1999) .... Henry Clark Prince of Egypt, The (1998) (voice) .... Hotep Spanish Prisoner, The (1997) .... Julian 'Jimmy' Dell Sgt. Bilko (1996) .... MSgt. Ernest G. Bilko Father of the Bride Part II (1995) .... George Banks Mixed Nuts (1994) .... Philip Simple Twist of Fate, A (1994) .... Michael McCann And the Band Played On (1993) (TV) .... The Brother Leap of Faith (1992) .... Jonas Nightingale HouseSitter (1992) .... Newton Davis Grand Canyon (1991) .... Davis Father of the Bride (1991) .... George Stanley Banks L.A. Story (1991) .... Harris K. Telemacher My Blue Heaven (1990) .... Vincent 'Vinnie' Antonelli Parenthood (1989) .... Gil Buckman Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) .... Freddy Benson All of these suck (with the possible exclusion of Mixed Nuts, but that was 1) an ensemble piece (not strictly him) and 2) a failure at the box office which means it belongs here). And notice that most of them are either forgotten or your standard B-movie fodder. So he does suck.....only his delusions of grandeur of going to drama (Carreyitis) truly sunk his career. |

| Protoclown | Steve Martin is great, but I think they should leave well enough alone. You can't top Peter Sellers, I don't care WHO you are. | |

True. Peter Sellers was a fucking genious. As was (is?) Blake Edwards.
