Story where he roller skates through the art museum even funnier. I'd forgotten about Shopgirl, amusingly enough since I caught it on TV just a few weeks ago. -K The fact that he’s such an art aficionado makes the scenes from L.A.

I should point out that Martin's been writing books almost from the start. At the height of his fame, he wrote "Cruel Shoes", a collection of very silly vignettes. He's been fairly consistent about putting out books ever since. The movie "Shopgirl" (in which he starred) was based on his own short novel. I've got a lot of respect for Steve. He seems like a real renaissance man. I just wish he'd stop doing crap movies like "Pink Panther". (I understand he does those flicks to support his massive art collection.)
