While Steve Martin provides the film's optimistic heart, Bowfinger is widely regarded as containing one of Eddie Murphy's best performances . Murphy pulls double duty, playing:
The Audacity of Ambition: A Look at " Bowfinger " (1999) Released in 1999, the satirical comedy Bowfinger remains one of the sharpest and most affectionate send-ups of the Hollywood dream. Directed by Frank Oz and written by its star, Steve Martin, the film explores the desperate, often delusional lengths to which people will go for a shot at fame. At its core, it is a celebration of the "guerrilla" spirit of independent filmmaking, where perseverance often serves as a necessary substitute for actual talent or resources. The Plot of "Chubby Rain" Bowfinger(1999)
The story follows Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin), a down-on-his-luck producer who is turning 50 and facing bankruptcy. In a last-ditch effort to achieve greatness, he decides to produce a sci-fi script titled Chubby Rain —about aliens invading through raindrops—written by his accountant. When a studio executive (Robert Downey Jr.) promises distribution only if the film stars action hero Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy), Bowfinger faces a major hurdle: Ramsey won't even read the script.

More than likely next year
As an enterprise product I can see it as a high-end workstation device but not a server device. The lack of RAIDability seems to limit its use to caching and high-speed scratch work area.
I’ve been informed that PCIe hardware RAID will be available on the Skylake CPU and the Xeon version when it comes out later. Now we’re talking………
so this is a preview, not a review… where are the comparisons to P3700 and PM951?
I don’t have access to those drives. We reviewed the P3700 in another system. Because of that as well as a change in our testing methodology, we cant not graph them side by side. Looking at the P3700’s specific review you can gauge for yourself the approximate performance difference between the two.
