I just wanted to say that, in my opinion, The Royal Tenenbaums is one of the most perfect films in movie history and I'm just looking forward to whatever Wes decides to do next (seems he's already finishing a script, written without Owen Wilson's contribution). But my guess is, whatever he does from now on, and how great his next movies get, he'll never make anything as perfect as TRT, but then again, I hope i'm wrong on this one :wink:
And, according to IMDB, Wes is from Houston.
Not many good things come out of Houston. Except for me.
Seriously, Houston is a SUCK creative community. For a city that size, it's hard to believe that there's so little real talent there.
I'm sure I read that his next film was in the UK, and todo with the off hours life of people in mi6. Cant find the damn tidbit now but it sounds pretty cool.
I love the fact that Owen Wilson digged PDL so much that it inspired him to get writing again.
Yeah, and as much as I love Wes, and I really do, I'd die to see a script written only by Owen Wilson. It would probably be something... and yes, it's great that PDL inspired him, which reminds me of posting something in the PTA section...
I get the feeling, though, that OW probably contributes more dialogue than anything (just from his rewriting his lines on other movies and the whole one-liner feel of his rewrites), so maybe a whole movie structure is beyond him?
Yeah, that might be true, budgie, but that's the main reason why I'd like to see a script by OW. To see what's his exact contribution.
From the December 2002 issue of Premiere magazine entitled "A Night in the Life of Owen Wilson":
Wilson insists that his life remains relatively untouched by the changed brought with the realization of Platt's prophecy. But when asked how his screenwriting process with Anderson has changed with each project, he's clearly conflicted about what it says about him and who he is as an artist that he's allowed his acting career to push his screenwriting with Anderson into the margins. "[During] Bottle Rocket we were living together. Rushmore and Tenenbaums, it was just trying to find the time..." he trails off. "I don't know how to type or use the computer so Wes would do that stuff. I'd use notebook paper or say it out loud or send it to Wes," he says, brushing his shaggy blond hair out of his eyes. " I should write more. Writing's hard." He looks heartbroken when asked about their next project together, in which, tellingly, Wilson will participate as an actor, but not a writer. "Wes has a story about an oceanographer that he came up with a long time ago. He has an idea for me and Bill Murray to play this father-son thing," says Wilson. "He's writing it. When he gets a draft done, he'll show it to me and maybe I can, uh, be helpful as an actor."

In the Andy Dick, Tom Green vein, I'd say so.
Isn't he always stoned?
Haha...he totaly is Eli Cash

Yeah, but they went to school here in Austin and I believe they lived in Dallas for a long time too.
Dallas IS a shit city, but Austin radiates with genius.

jajajajaaaa
Wes and Owen are genius.
man.. the NOSE on owen... wtf happened to him?
I just hate seeing that thing on the screen.
owen has actually broken his nose on i believe it to be three separate occasions. it's what's responsible for the somewhat nasal tone he has---people often ask him why he doesn't fix it, and i don't recall what he said in response to that.

From the same Premiere article I posted on Page 1:
Wilson understands that what makes him different is the source of his power onscreen. But he remains surprisingly tender about the subject of his most outwardly unconventional attribute, his nose. Wilson is widely admired and desired for proving that an aquiline nose is not a job requirement for being a bankable leading man. His nose, which remains unfixed after being broken once in the ninth grade and again in a college football accident, is distinctly asymmetrical, with a slightly cubist effect of shifting shape depending on the side from with it's shot. It is the thing that makes women want him and men want to be like him: comfortable with who he is. And yet all signs of that defiant spirit vanish when he's asked about his most distinguishing feature a week later over breakfast in Los Angeles. "Can't you read about that some place?" he asks quietly, with a wounded look that seems to ask, "How could you?" We came within reach of making it great but now a pact has been broken. The unexpected depths of Wilson's vulnerability have flooded the room. " I never knew my nose was, like,... I guess because no one would say something until recently. Most people are too polite, so I was able to go along cheerfully thinking I was fine. And then I've had to confront this issue."
plus he has a cool nose.
my sister read an interview with him where he said he'd never get a nose job because he's afraid his brothers would make fun of him too much.
Owen rocks my wet hot panties.

I have to admit TRT was a great film and I've watched it quite a few times, I never seem to get sick of it. I have the Criterion Collection DVD set, its packed with goodies including a pretty cool commentary by WA.
