(martin) a documentary in two pieces explores the life of a man who first made his name with stand—up comedy. his absurdist humour was big on silliness and human fragility. it�*s hard to overestimate how huge steve martin once was. steve was a rock star, and i don't even think steve quite remembers how big of a star he was. i mean, he was outdrawing the eagles and fleetwood mac in concert stadiums. he was a phenomenon in america. the documentary shows how steve martin played with the conventions of stand—up comedy, holding back on punch lines, or indicators, as he calls them, to signal audiences as to when they could laugh. so i had this theory, what if i took out the indicators butjust kept going? i was after that quality that is indefinable, where you say, "i don�*t know why it was funny...
