ATTENTION MY MINIONS!!!
I've been watching a bit of the Steve Martin "Pink Panther" remake. I recall that it got some bad press when it came out, but I decided to sample it myself.
Everyone involved with the production...from Mister Martin down to and including the caterers, should just kill themselves.
THAT IS ALL. RETURN TO YOUR DUTIES!!!

For your information, Steve Martin is an excellent banjoist.

The only actors I can think of who never made a bad movie were James Dean and John Cazale.

Not to fear, Skivz... Word on the street is that Bobby Goldsboro is going to release a re-mixed version of "Honey" this summer...

Martin was excellent in 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'!! These was one part, that I couldn't catch my breath laughing so hard.
I think he probably made up for the 'Panther'.

The wheel chair scene, where Michael Caine is whipping his legs, to see if he could feel it... and the table scene where he asked to go pee...among others..but those were great!

Jeez!..Just after I typed that, and posted it up, I began remembering those scenes...and started laughing, again!!! The looks on Martin's face, while pretending not to feel anything, was priceless!!

GfS

P.S. I met Martin, up in Aspen, Co. He's quite a different person in person..rather quiet, and introspective, and on the most part serious. I think he is a genius!

They are my vast horde, who do my bidding and tremble at the mere mention of my name.
They are the creatures of the chasm whom I have raised up. They are the instrumentality of my unimaginably evil plan.
Oh, plus my nephew, Murry. I gave him a job as a favor for my sis.

Skivee; you can get effective therapy for delusions of grandeur. But tha'll get no argument from me regarding the PP remake by Steve Martin. An abomination on all levels.

I think that you are losing sight of the fact that the Steve Martin version of The Pink Panther, which features no scenes of him playing banjo, simply stinks the joint up.

Now Skivee has given it away--a minion is clearly some sort of British elevator with "ascend" and "descend" capabilities.
