Gratuitous, baseless plug No 1

I just wanted to express my glee to see that Steve Martin's novel, Shopgirl has been made into a movie. While I know he's far from perfect (HouseSitter?), I'm still a big Steve Martin fan, so I entreat you all to go along and see it.

Knowing nothing about the film beyond what I gleaned from the website, I can tell you that Martin wrote the script and plays a lead role in it, along side Claire Danes (one of the most underrated actors of her generation) and Jason Schwartzman (a man who has done it (relatively) hard in spite of his pedigree - I say, kudos to you, fellow Sloan fan).
