Who knew?
Second by SavageDragoner	Jun 13th, 2007 04:59:33 PM
Dude, am I really second? Oh, and I'll see this film!!
Or Fourth by SavageDragoner	Jun 13th, 2007 04:59:53 PM
What the fuck ever. I paused to read and shit.
Or Fifth by SavageDragoner	Jun 13th, 2007 05:03:41 PM
I never learned to count either.
I love this idea! by SkeletonParty	Jun 13th, 2007 05:09:40 PM
Is this a remake? I hope so. I don't like seeing anything I haven't seen before.
Gumbercules? by Zorak5	Jun 13th, 2007 06:14:26 PM
I love that guy. He's like a cross between Gumby and Hercules.
Bowfinger is criminally underrated by BadMrWonka	Jun 13th, 2007 07:21:25 PM
Eddie Murphy screaming at someone to get him a retarded slave role...Steve Martin's ponytail and cell phone gag, the freeway scene, all the veiled scientology references...SO FUNNY...I'm definitely seeing this one...
what was the one with Ray Ramono? by The Dum Guy	Jun 13th, 2007 07:37:15 PM
I think it was called Eulogy. Anyway, I love a good comedy that involves funerals, mainly because real ones aren't usually all that amusing.
Eulogy had Zooey Deschanel by BadMrWonka	Jun 13th, 2007 09:28:49 PM
I would watch her in a movie about the glory of Rush Limbaugh, I don't care...
This looks good! Seriously! by theBigE	Jun 13th, 2007 10:18:12 PM
If you've seen the trailer, you know that this has potential. Frank Oz is more hit than miss, so bring it on.
Frank Oz Has Chosen HD-DVD, Here's Why... by NubtheSquirrel	Jun 13th, 2007 10:37:07 PM
Because Frank OZ is GOD! Bow before the geeky cool voice of Yoda!

I thought Frank Oz died when I the page loaded up. Urp. I need to stop crushing oxycontin before I read the internets.

...I might ignite, I probably won't. Fucking brilliant. Symphonies should be composed to the sheer brilliance that is Bowfinger. "Call Arnold and Sly! And Van Damme and Jackie Chan. Tell 'em the spearchucker said hello!"

People who don't like Bowfinger are stooopid! by silentbobafett2	Jun 14th, 2007 02:13:56 AM
Heh heh! No,s eriosuly though, I know a lot of people who say they don't lie Bowfinger, but when I speak to them about bits from it - laughs alaround! I cant' see how, as people who love film, you can dislike it! Its fucking hilarious and Murphy and Martins best roles in ages!!!! People say htye don't like it cos its a modern eddie murphy comedy and how can you be cool if you like an eddie murphy film after the 80's? Well fuck you all, I just like what I like and couldn't give two shits what anyone else thinks! Bowfinger is a wondeerfully funny and CLEVER comedy about filmmaking! :-) accept it! :-)
Bowfinger by The Dum Guy	Jun 14th, 2007 02:20:48 AM
I love it when Steve Martin tells the Eddie Murphy character to run across the freeway, because "all the drivers are stunt drivers", now that's funny.
We need a guy with a fabulous ass! by The Seaward	Jun 14th, 2007 02:29:28 AM
And mine is the wrong colour. By the way, did you know that Tom Cruise didn't know he was in that vampire movie until three months later?
Bowfinger is fried gold!! by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 14th, 2007 06:59:56 AM
I put off watching for ages, you know Steve Martin (cheaper by the dozen) and Eddie Murphy (Dr Dolittle), bound to be crap. What a fucking gem!! And shock of shocks, it even had heart as well as top comedy. Eddie Murphy as Kit Marlow is fantastic. Love the scene where he's accosted outside tyhe shop, and the actors head starts melting. Hilarious. "I must not expose myself to the cheerleaders!"
The Score by blackwood	Jun 14th, 2007 07:22:25 AM
Anyone? I'd count it as one of Frank's best - partly because it's so against type. I definitely like his dark comedies, but he does tension well. And Bowfinger was great. In the midst of all it's screwball zaniness it had genuine heart.
Gotta give some Indian in the Cupboard love . . . by Nice Marmot	Jun 14th, 2007 08:22:09 AM
. . . since my wife absolutely loves this flick and watches it every friggin' time its on. And I'm amazed by all the Bowfinger love. Looks like I can add it to my list of movies I think are absolute shit but everyone else loves. I get to file it alphabetically before The 'Burbs.
bowfinger = genius by occula	Jun 14th, 2007 10:42:24 AM
gotcha, suckas!
Forgot about Indian In The Cupboard by skimn	Jun 14th, 2007 02:09:59 PM
what a great family film that adults can enjoy too. Not too many of those around. And anyone who can marshall DeNiro, Norton and Brando deserves credit. And, loved his cameos in Landis' flicks.
Holy shit I haven't seen Bowfinger! by krushjudgement	Jun 14th, 2007 05:42:39 PM
These posts have me convinced though. I'm a big fan of the Oz. I even kind of like Stepford Wives (Despite the massive plot holes.)
Whatever happen to Powers? by spider-ham	Jun 14th, 2007 06:01:22 PM
Seems like it was going to be his next movie after Wives and then this happened. :\

"Hear that? He's calling us Spear Chuckers!" I love Bowfinger.
