Default Re: Was Steve Martin ever funny?

Best movie he has been in in the last 10 years was "The Spanish Prisoner". Not a comedy, but an excellent film. Good luck figuring it out.

Damn, beat me to it. I really liked him in The Spanish Prisoner. I had forgotten that it was Steve Martin that I was watching.

Also, in reference to the recent George Carlin special. Easily the worst Carlin routine ever. I started listening to his tapes when I was real young, like 10-12 years old. I didn't understand half of it but I still found most of it funny, especially the baseball/football comparison and the "fussy eater" bit (I was and still am a fussy eater). This recent one didn't seem like comedy at all. It seemed like he was more interested in just talking about current events.

Also, I hope it was just the lighting, but what was up with his red hand? That creeped me out.
