Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Traitor. Dont get me wrong, Myers is a legend but there is no comparing to Steve. The guy is one of the all time greats CBF
Jauronimo Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I guess somebody has to be that guy, so.... I like Myers work more. I'll take the few years where he did Wayne's World, So I Married An Axe Murdered, the first Austin Powers over Martin's whole body of work. Planes, Trains and Automobiles is the only Martin movie that I like, and John Candy carries that movie. I will never understand the appeal of Three Amigos or The Jerk. Sure, Myers is to blame for Austin Powers 3 and the Love Guru, but Steve made 15 movies with Queen Latifah so I call it a wash in the unforgivable crap department.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 What ? Austin Powers 3 isn't universally loved ? Axe murderer and Austin Powers are the best. Shoutout to Steve Martin for 3 amigos though.

I always thought Steve Martin was over rated, but I do think the first half of The Jerk is pretty good. Probably my favorite of his movies was LA Story, and it wasn't his normal type of character, which I think helped.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Steve Martin for Father of the bride movies Classic CBF

To me both are talented and funny (I like Meyers), but Martin is more prolific. Both he and Myers write and act and both have had their share of misses. Still, Martin's stand up was revolutionary, his music isn't my style but he's pretty accomplished in that industry, plus check out Martin's list of classics (even keeping off 3 Amigos, PTaA, and the Jerk): Writer: Bowfinger (classic), Traitor (thriller but better than people realize), LA Story (classic), Roxanne (classic) Actor: My Blue Heaven (classic), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (remake but classic), Parenthood (classic), Father of the Bride(s), LA Story, Leap of Faith (underrated). Of course, it's all a matter of opinion.
Saxum Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 "One of the things Canada can offer the world is civility, and one of the great legacies that Canada can leave is that the strength of democracy is not how well we agree, but how well we disagree." Asked by the USA Today what he thought about citizens threatening to leave the US if Trump become president, he said: "We'll take you all." When I read that quote first thing I thought about was CBF. We are all moving in with him.

Helpmenow Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah but can he play banjo?[Paul McCartney sang on Steve's cd!!
DDD Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Actually, I think they both are trying to be Andy Warhol.
Chef Jim Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Yeah but can he play banjo?[Paul McCartney sang on Steve's cd!! I'll do my best to try and not hold it against him.
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 The Austin Powers were the only sequels that improved with each release. They're both great, but Steve Martin has the edge.
Jauronimo Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 The Austin Powers were the only sequels that improved with each release. They're both great, but Steve Martin has the edge. I could not disagree more. I liked the second maybe as much as the first but the third was a total abortion.
