Teaser Tuesdays – L.A. Story
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
Steve Martin, that wild and crazy guy, also wrote a few screenplays along the way, including “L.A. Story“, in which he also starred. He played Harris K. Telemacher, one of those weathermen who play up the wackiness on TV, but he’s just one more person in L.A. getting by in sunny disenchantment, until he meets Sara and falls in love. All in all, a pleasant and well-written romantic comedy.
HARRIS
I know this looks weird but it’s not. This is a completely safe mysteriously rolling car.
- p.89, “L.A. Story and Roxanne” by Steve Martin

That was a very funny movie. I’ve never read a screenplay before, though.
Here’s mine.

The line I like from that movie:
Martin: “If I had a body like hers, I’d stay home all day and play with me.”

Interesting, I’ve seen Roxanne, but not LA Story. My teaser is up here.

Loved the movie – haven’t read the screenplay. Actually, I pretty much love all Steve Martin movies, but haven’t read anything by him. I should correct that deficiency right away! Really great teaser.

That is one of my favorite Steve Martin movies, and Sarah Jessica Parker is adorable in it, being a total Valley Girl.
My tease is here:

Haven’t seen that movie in a long time. But reading that line I can see it in my mind. I always think of his character too whenever I see a weather forecast of nothing but sun.

It doesn’t matter what Steve Martin says. When he says it, it’s funny.

This screenplay looks like it would be as much fun to read as to watch.
