Steve Martin is great. I remember when I saw "The Jerk" for the first time in a theatre on Lancaster Blvd from my youth that is long gone now. I was about 12 years old, and "The Jerk" was a real treat, I had been a fan of Steve Martin since Saturday Night Live, and we had his comedy album featuring King Tut and stuff.
They do not make movies like "The Jerk" anymore, it seems like they just fight for 2 hours, I watched a Keanu Reeves movie where all he did was just fight the whole time, it was horrible, I would much rather watch a Steve Martin movie. If I owned Universal Studios then I would hire Steve Martin to help us make movies and television shows, he has that magic talent.
Of note, a new movie is in the works about Queen Farah Pahlavi of Iran, I hope the movie starts a movement in the direction of improved human rights and freedom, and new leadership in Iran, etc.
Salute,
Tony V.
