Name a role he's played that he wasn't great in.
Just one.
Go.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

nope, you win.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

are you drunk? this is a little like starting an argument with a homeless dude.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I started this thread because of the Colin Farrell one. Like, here's a guy who sucks teh goatse, and he had to have ridiculous hair dye to play Stone's version of Alexander, and yet he was still top of the list to play the next James Bond - WHERE'S THE FUCKING LOVE FOR OWEN WILSON? THE MAN IS BRILLIANT. FUCKING BRILLIANT. WHO THE HELL IS COLIN FARRELL ANYWAY? LET'S TALK ABOUT WINNERS NOT LOSERS PEOPLE.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

The Minus Man. I WIN THANSKGOODNIGHT

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't care for him but he is OK in movies.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:10 (twenty-one years ago)

dude, clive owen should totally be the next bond

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:10 (twenty-one years ago)

He sucked in the Big Bounce.

― Remy Snush (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't seen "The Big Bounce," "Permanent Midnight," or "The Minus Man" yet. All in the queue.

He did save "Shanghai Knights" almost singlehandedly.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I am with mookieproof on the Bond issue.
Or Hugh Jackman if that's permissible but I think he already said no.

Regardless, WILSON/BLOOMPS 08.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Clive Owen as Bond would be awesome.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

HUGE ACKMAN.

― g--ff (gcannon), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Can you be Bond and Van Helsing at the same time?

Is Owen Wilson too good to become a franchise lead?

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Alternately, perhaps too smart.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Plus, he's got that ping pong ball on the end of his nose.

― I Am Curious (George) (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:50 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought this thread would be about his hotness. i dont like him as an actor.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 04:53 (twenty-one years ago)

This can be about that too, the apparent "hotness" of owen wilson/toby maguire always makes me feel stoked about my own personal appearance.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:03 (twenty-one years ago)

luke wilson in 'royal tennenbaums' >> owen wilson in 'royal tennenbaums'

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:09 (twenty-one years ago)

He was good in Permanent Midnight, basically playing himself on drugs.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Owen Wilson: YES my nose looks like a penis.

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:13 (twenty-one years ago)

He's...mildly entertaining.

Go and finish Make A Star 7.

i can't remember if he kills janeane garofalo in the minus man or not

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

If he does, I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw him at AA and boy was he sweet then.

― I'm serious ... Ti-i-i-i-im (deangulberry), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:17 (twenty-one years ago)

how much of that is serious?

― Remy Snush (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw him at AA. He probably was not sweet then either.

― I'm serious ... Ti-i-i-i-im (deangulberry), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 06:20 (twenty-one years ago)

He wasn't great in The Haunting. He was great in everything else I've seen, though, including The Minus Man.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 08:35 (twenty-one years ago)

what a weird movie The Minus Man was. I don't know whether i'll be able to go back to it now that Wilson's become such an enjoyable personality in my mind.

― lemin (lemin), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 08:38 (twenty-one years ago)

The funny thing about The Haunting is that if I had to remake the original (which is one of my favorite films ever), I would have gone with that cast. Just not that script. Or that director. Or that CGI. Or anything else really. I'd like to think if the film was any good they all would have given worthwhile performances.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't remember him at all in Armageddon.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 08:50 (twenty-one years ago)

oh shit, yeah! forgot he was in that!

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 08:56 (twenty-one years ago)

well he did write Rushmore and improvise most of Hansel in Zoolander.

― Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 08:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah, lovely lovely Owen Wilson.

The Big Bounce is among the worst films ever made though.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 09:09 (twenty-one years ago)

the wilson bros are, along with ben stiller, a rare guarantee of comedic genius in a movie (the execrable starsky and hutch notwithstanding)...

― stevie (stevie), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 10:55 (twenty-one years ago)

"Starsky and Hutch" wasn't bad at all.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:01 (twenty-one years ago)

it was much better than i expected it to be.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:08 (twenty-one years ago)

really? i laughed once. snoop was the cause. very disappointed...

― stevie (stevie), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

anyone else think that will ferrell should limit himself only to films with at least two out of the three above mentioned?

starsky and hutch was lovely, simply lovely.

― d.arraghmac, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vámonos, amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:11 (twenty-one years ago)

"i think it's coke, holly thinks it's coke, staci thinks it's coke..."

that line KILLED me.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:12 (twenty-one years ago)

that line from tenenbaums encapsulates everything great about owen wilson. and the bit where he crashes the car.

― d.arraghmac, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I start giggling the minute he appears in a scene. Like a contact high -- or more likely a flashback.

― lovebug starski (lovebug starski), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 11:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I wanted to put Roy O'Bannon's nutsack in its true place (under his nose). The surgery wouldn't be gentle.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 12:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i loved starsky and hutch

― Hari Ashurst (Toaster), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

It turned out to be much funnier than I thought it would be.

― Leon the Fratboy (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:11 (twenty-one years ago)

invariably the most interesting part of anything he's in. Even though I didn't like Minus Man, I liked spending time with OW. Like Paul Newman in his prime, or even Elizabeth Taylor in hers, OW is just interesting to watch. He's got STAR QUALITY.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Will Ferrell STOLE Starsky & Hutch though. "It's like a bowl of oatmeal with a little hole in it!"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

the minus man is great!!

at last someone stepped forward and said it.

the one where he plays a pilot that crahses in bosnia is prety fuckign bad. but hes still the second best thing about it.

― :| (....), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I don't know. That flick sure killed a late Saturday afternoon stone-cold dead for me.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Behind Enemy Lines is a fantastic, utterly compelling piece of film, and it's awesome, and I quote it incessantly all the time, because it's fucking great. If Gene Hackman had saved my bitchy ass in a totally surreal gun battle I'd have signed up for another tour too. You like Ice Cube? That's good, good.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Wildcat.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I was bowled over by the character and perf of Dignan in Bottle Rocket, for its originality. Little did I know I'd be watching him reprise it for a decade.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I have temporarily forgotten the title of that rub film with him and Eddie Murphy and possibly that woman out of X-Men? But I watched it on the strength of a single line spoken by Owen Wilson in the trailer. Sure enough, that was the only good bit in the film.

I love him a bit.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I heart Owen Wilson. everything he says is funny.

― daria g (daria g), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Guy in bathroom: Hey, you're in the Army, yes?
Dignan: No, I just have short hair.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I Spy!
Famke! Famke! Famke!
I don't remember much else about that movie, but, uh, will Owen Wilson ever make a big budget movie outside of the buddy formula?

The Big Bounce wasn't so bad, except for the female lead, boyoboy was she awful.

― Huk-L, Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

i think luke is the worse of the two.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 16:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i prefer luke, for his character in Meet The Parents alone...

― stevie (stevie), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

oh, famke.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I love the Owen. Hey, I even liked Minus Man!

can we turn this into a Famke thrd plz!

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i only like him in Zoolander

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Tuesday, 30 November 2004 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

'I Spy' was quite weak, admittedly, but Owen Wilson is a fucking genius. 'Dodgeball' was only 75% genius as a result of its lack of Wilson.

― Miles Finch, Monday, 31 January 2005 10:14 (twenty years ago)

I'm not looking forward to The Smoker.

― Girolamo Savonarola, Monday, 31 January 2005 13:21 (twenty years ago)

do you hate fun?

― Miles Finch, Monday, 31 January 2005 13:43 (twenty years ago)

Everything about him is good, even if he does appear in bad films, at least he makes them worthwhile. For me. TEH WILSON LOVE! Owen, that is. I mean, Luke is ok, but he doesn't really inspire the same fervent madness in me. His voice just doesn't cut it.

― Suedey (John Cei Douglas), Monday, 31 January 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

Since starting this we've seen The Minus Man and Permanent Midnight and yeah y'know OW is good times, but I don't think I'd accuse him of having a lot of range. Then again, who does?

― TOMBOT, Monday, 31 January 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

His KY accent in The Life Aquatic (at least in the scenes that he decided to employ it) is pretty (unintentionally?) funny.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:24 (twenty years ago)

I don't think any amount of cast changes could've changed the flaws with the Minus Man or Permanent Midnight.

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

if you put Peter Greene in the Stiller role in PM, you'd have a much better movie.

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

Yeah after I hit "submit" I immediately though "unless they recast Ben Stiller"

Though after watching it I did wonder if I was being unfair due to my own preconceptions of the cast members, ie the three that stuck out most in my mind--Stiller, Wilson and Elizabeth Hurley--have all gone on to do virtually nothing but childish, incredibly stupid hysterical films ever since so watching them all be serious was a bit too much. Of course Tom said "Oh what about Behind Enemy Lines?" but I'm not sure it disproved my point.

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:35 (twenty years ago)

i think the minus man is really good

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

goddamned Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic, yo!

(actually the only bits in PM I remember involve Peter Greene, like when he grabs Stiller coming out of rehab and grabs the wheel of his car, or when he at Stiller are slamming against the windows of that office building)

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

Dude Owen Wilson's character in RT can hardly be classed as a serious role! It's Hansel as hipster author.

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

Life Aquatic, then!

― Riot Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:46 (twenty years ago)

But that had one of the worst scripts I've ever witnessed put to serious cinema and I've basically forgotten its existance, so it doesn't count.

The best part of that movie was the pirate gun fight.

― Allyzay Highlights The Fallacy of Radiohead (allyzay), Monday, 31 January 2005 19:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah if the violence in Collateral had embraced that style of gunfighting a little more I'd be ordering the DVD right now. I loved the action sequences in TLA to be honest. "Steve? Are you here to rescue me?" BANG BANG, BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Thursday, 10 February 2005 01:24 (twenty years ago)

I was thinking that the faux-naif thing would wear on me, but I've consistently enjoyed him - even in I Spy, but that's probably because of Famke Janssen.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 10 February 2005 01:32 (twenty years ago)

no, it was him. i'm sure it must have been. i would not have sat through that movie even for famke janssen. i saw him at a restaurant once and he was really cagey and jumpy. like he was on the lam. looking out the window of the restaurant both ways before he left. it was funny.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Thursday, 10 February 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

here's the denby piece

There was a pretty decent interview with Owen Wilson at his 5-bathroom house in the pilot issue of GIANT. I wish I could track that down. He's wearing a Sabbath shirt in all the photos.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:30 (twenty years ago)

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:43 (twenty years ago)

Denby's piece is pretty accurate in some respects but it's still written with such a typical New Yorker contempt for success it's hard not to want to take him down a peg. Shoehorning Stiller in with Woody Allen as another "Jewish male on the make" or whatever the shit that's supposed to mean was really dumb, too.

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:57 (twenty years ago)

Oh that Ben Stiller, he tries so hard but his jokes are so KIKEY!

Go Owen. "I have acted in two hundred and thirty seven buddy movies"

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 10 February 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

I'm kind of working on something along the same lines as Denners, and have to question:

"Bill Murray and Steve Martin developed dissonant shadings and ironic and reflective moods that helped sustain full-length movie performances, but “S.N.L.” and “SCTV” graduates like Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, and Eugene Levy, despite abundant talent and considerable opportunity, did not develop in that way, and their screen careers fizzled out."

TS: 'Stripes' and 'The Jerk' vs 'Zoolander' and 'Dodgeball'. But anyway, this Murray revisionism is galling. As late as 1997 ('The Man Who Knew Too Little' you'd hardly have pegged him above Aykroyd, and I remain to be convinced by his indie stuff anyway; as for Steve Martin -- I haven't read the books as a basis for knocking Stiller it's ridiculous.

― Miles Finch, Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:04 (twenty years ago)

that bit gave about "urban jewish males on the make" gave me pause. then it gave me the giggles, because i envisioned armies of determined neurotic jews in trenchcoats marching through manhattan chanting, "gotta make it gotta make it" through clenched teeth.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 10 February 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

Let's leave out the fact that Steve Martin and Bill Murray look like "leading men" and Martin Short and Eugene Levy don't because it's rhetorically inconvenient. (Dan Ackroyd is where my withering criticism falls down.) (Also 99.999999999% of the people who go through SNL/SCTV are being groomed for "character actor" roles anyway, so criticizing them for becoming character actors seems kind of stupid.)

Owen Wilson on a blind item that portrayed him -- or someone with his nickname, "Butterscotch Stallion" -- licking the buttocks of a woman in his hotel room for two hours: "It's like, 'Who cares?' I play it as it lays. OK, so I may not be the greatest lover in the world. Well, let's make that angle work. There's lots of different paths to the waterfall. You don't have to be Don Juan. And wasn't it Gloria Steinem who said that women have to be responsible for their own orgasms? Well, I take her at her word. I'll do my best, OK, but at a certain point you've got to, like, you know . . ." (Rolling Stone via Page Six)

http://movies.msn.com/beacon/editorial1.aspx?ptid=28181226-82e5-403e-ba44-3c1a565de0b8

Speaking of getting into it, Wilson has a reputation as quite the ladies man. Recently, a website cleverly dubbed him "The Butterscotch Stallion." Some stars would not take kindly to such a moniker, but Wilson appears to enjoy it.

"I love that," Owen says. "It has to be one of the most ridiculous, insane nicknames, but some of my friends have really picked up on it. I think they know it's kind of humiliating to me."

How long will the nickname even last? Is there a girl out there ready to sweep him off his feet?

"Well, I'm 36 and they haven't got me to bend a knee yet," he says grinning. "But one of these days, I'm sure I'll get some great girl to lasso me and tame this wild mustang."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

"Butterscotch Stallion"?

Owen Wilson is 36???

Guys, I have so many questions now.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

I thought the Butterscotch Stallion thing started over on defamer? They got some photos of him at a ballgame or something, made a big hullabaloo over themselves. Everybody likes Owen Wilson. He's no Lance Armstrong.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:50 (twenty years ago)

36 makes sense when you realize that Bottle Rocket is almost ten years old now.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

There's lots of different paths to the waterfall.
hahaha!
I like that his persona doesn't seem to veer too far from his character in The Royal Tennenbaums. Or perhaps from any character he plays. He's corned the market on his own likeable hotness. It works.

― rrrobyn (rrrobyn), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:53 (twenty years ago)

He's not almost 40, or he'd be the same age as the Beastie Boys. That's old.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 14:59 (twenty years ago)

OK the other question I have is unanswerable by those here, but I'm going to posit it anyway: is "buttocks" page 6's cleaned up for da kids and republicans version of "pussy" or was he like licking some chick's ass cheeks for two frigging hours?

The original BI:

WHICH blond stud, nicknamed the “Butterscotch Stallion,” has a perverse sexual bent? He recently picked up a girl at a wedding and the two went back to his hotel room. When the woman asked if he had a condom, the actor replied: “I don’t want to have sex with you, but I do want to do something else” — and proceeded to lick her buttocks for “over two hours.”

I assuming it meant rimming. For two hours! The man's a champ!

Rimming is most likely illegal in Virginia.

The movies would probably actively annoy you, except maybe "Zoolander". (Although "Zoolander" might annoy you the most, I really have no idea.) In general, TOMBOT is absolutely correct in his assertion that Owen Wilson somehow makes every movie he's in awesome, including the ones that should really really suck (like "I Spy").

To answer the very first post -- well...:

Take the premiere today of the trailer for "Drillbit Taylor," a comedy starring Owen Wilson as a homeless man who pretends to be a former Navy SEAL and sells his services as a bodyguard to schoolkids. The trailer drew a big laugh with one crude line of advice the bum gives his young charges: "Not all of the martial arts are Asian. There's also Mexican judo, like when you say: 'Judo know who you're messing with, Holmes.' "

Owen Wilson does not make any movie awesome, although he is, on occasion, awesome in terrible movies. I'm not embarrassed to admit that I find his butterscotch stallion-ness intensely erotic.

L'attore americano Owen Wilson è morto oggi durante un incidente mentre faceva snowboard sulle nevi svizzere, a Zermatt dove era in vacanza con la famiglia e gli amici. La notizia è stata anticipata dal sito LiveLeak. Owen, 42 anni, texano, ha recitato in film di grande successo, spesso in coppia con il suo amico Ben Stiller. Tra i film più noti in cui ha recitato si ricordano Una notte al Museo 1 e 2, i Tenenbaum, Starsky e Hutch, Vi presento i miei, Io e Marley...

I testimoni hanno raccontato che Wilson ha perso il controlllo del suo sonwboard ed ha battuto a forte velocità contro un albero. È stato soccorso con un elicottero e trasportato in breve tempo presso l'ospedale locale dove i medici non hanno potuto far altro che constatarne il decesso, che sarebbe avvenuto subito dopo l'impatto. L'attore indossava un casco di protezione.
