I am so damn jealous of Jason Schwartzman. Hes gotten to act alongside two of my comedy idols, Bill Murray and now Steve Martin in the film adaptation of Martins own book, Showgirl.
Shopgirl stars Claire Danes as Mirabelle, a plain young girl in the middle of Hollywood who is romanced by two men. One is an older wealthy man played by Steve Martin and Schwartzman plays Jeremy, an awkward schlub who borrows money from her on their dates.
He was brilliant in Rushmore but this outburst from I Heart Huckabees should've won an Oscar:
Albert Markovski: Motherfucking cocksucker motherfucking shit fucker what am I doing? What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing the best that I can. I know that's all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anybody paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The African guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn't, than nothing in this world makes any sense to me. I'm fucked! Maybe I should quit. Don't quit! Maybe I should just fucking quit. Don't fucking quit! I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to fucking do anymore! Fucker! Fuck shit!
