I'm watching Bowfinger.  What a great film.  What happened to Steve Martin?

That and started writing mediocre fiction that people read and enjoyed because it was written by Steve Martin, later to be adapted into a film by Steve Martin.

Really Federwang, the script for Shopgirl has to be worse than everything you've ever been involved in COMBINED.  Even if you add in Transformers by association. 

Ok, maybe not that bad.  But still, it's pretty fucking terrible.

He never was funny. He just went from having moderately talented writers to moderately horrible writers

I liked his book of comic essays (there has to be a better term than that), but I read them in the middle of my Teenage Years of Untrustworthy Aesthetic Judgments.

I remember when I travelled to America and Bowfinger was played on every flight. I must have watched it 4 times in the space of a month.

Steven Martin either has bad judgment or a lot of bills to pay.

He screwed his own career.  Dude was in The Spanish Prisoner, building a legit career for himself as a serious character actor, but he couldn't resist the siren's call of big paychecks for starring in crappy family flicks.

He should play a creepy character, like a pedo or something.

Might not even be that.  Martin's always had a bit of a snooty, method-acting approach to wacky physical humor, so there's a good chance he considers even his recent mainstream stuff as auteurism.  At least, I'm pretty sure he'd feel that way about the Pink Panther remake, since he was following Peter Sellers, who's a God to comic actors everywhere.
