Bowfinger: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

* [[Black and Nerdy]]: Jiff.

* [[Blackmail]]

* [[Bond One Liner]]: "I enjoyed meeting you, Cliff."

* [[Bond One-Liner]]: "I enjoyed meeting you, Cliff."

* [[The Cameo]]: Yup, that's Robert Downey Jr in the restaurant.

* [[Casting Couch]]: [[Heather Graham]]'s character Daisy ends up sleeping with everyone involved with the film.

Line 39:

* [[Take That]]: Heather Graham's character is basically a hyper-condensed tale of Anne Heche (who Steve Martin briefly dated)'s rise to "fame" (by hooking up with famous people), culminating in her being in a relationship with a "powerful Hollywood lesbian" (hint hint Ellen Degeneres).

* [[True Companions]]: To some extent, Bowfinger and his regular cast.

* [[Viewers ~~Are~~ Morons]]: "That's too much for the audience to have to think about. They have to know that the guy's name is Cliff, they have to know that he's on a cliff. That the Cliff and the cliff is the same. It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!"

* [[Viewers are Morons]]: "That's too much for the audience to have to think about. They have to know that the guy's name is Cliff, they have to know that he's on a cliff. That the Cliff and the cliff is the same. It's too cerebral! We're trying to make a movie here, not a film!"

* [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome]]: Intentionally done with the FedEx delivery at the film's end.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Intentionally done with the FedEx delivery at the film's end.

* [[Writers Cannot Do Math]]: Kit Ramsey goes through a script and found the letter K appearing 466 times, which he says is perfectly divisible by 3. 466 isn't perfectly divisible by 3.

* [[Writers Suck]]: Bowfinger's accountant-slash-screenwriter is second on Daisy's list of guys to sleep with to get to the top.

Line 46:

=== ''Chubby Rain'', the [[Show Within a Show|film within the film]], contains the following tropes: ===

* [[Easily Thwarted Alien Invasion]]: As far as we can tell, Kit's character is able to defeat the aliens without actually doing anything. Except maybe playing tennis. And saying "GOTCHA SUCKERS!"

* [[Easily-Thwarted Alien Invasion]]: As far as we can tell, Kit's character is able to defeat the aliens without actually doing anything. Except maybe playing tennis. And saying "GOTCHA SUCKERS!"

* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: Daisy's character has a bizarre pseudo-European accent for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, it makes it very hard to understand one of her funniest [[Narm|Narmy]] lines: "One slip-up in your tough, crime-filled world and you could die!"

* [[No Budget]]: That's after [[Useful Notes/Hollywood Accounting|gross net deduction profit percentage deferment ten percent of the nut]]. Cash, every movie cost $2,184. "
