Oh for fuck’s sake. I don’t know what else to say. There are really people with their heads _this_ far up their asses?

_Cries_

Thank you so much people!! I love this board. You people get me! You have senses of humor and are not afraid to be a little silly! You don’t take things like ACTORS so seriously!  
_Kisses_ I love you! I love you!

Man, I thought it fucked up that people took Bruce Campbell so seriously, but it was really about **Owen Friggin’ Wilson**! Sweet Jesus. What’s next, taking the names of Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen in vain?

I cheered when Owen Wilson’s character got his head lopped off by the fireplace in “The Haunting.” God, what a ridiculous movie. The suggestion that his (or any actor’s) lines are somehow sacred and untouchable and must be defended from “sillyfication”… I think I’d last maybe as much as a nanosecond on that board before getting banned.

To paraphrase what someone on _this_ board once said, the stick up the moderator’s ass apparently has a stick up its ass.

If the actors are deified just by _saying_ those words, just think how important the people that _wrote_ those words are. By that reasoning the Writers Guild would need to start hiring extra security for the hacks that wrote “Dude, where’s my car?”

Will someone keep the pre-teens off the internet?!?!  
Don’t they know what a vile place this is?  
Won’t someone think of the…eh, screw it.  
Apologies to **Darwin’s Finch** for stealing your [mis-quote](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=4802222&postcount=68).

You see, this is why we need more porn on the internet. If every single page has some form of porn on it then we won’t get any of these God-awful preteen sites, and as an added bonus we lose are the crazy religious zealots too. Win/win.

No, we’d get even more zealots. And they’d be more zealous in their zealotry, seeing as how they’d be able to see more offensive pictures.

I guess I always wanted to be remembered for **something** around here. Guess starting up the “stupid underpants game in Cafe Society,” in the words of **Darkhold** , is going to have to do. 😉

First post that ever broke 100 replies, and now it’s spawned a second thread.

I feel so…so…

…underpants.

A friend of mine and I have noticed that, the way that Owen Wilson acts, it’s like he’s NEVER seen the script for the film. It sounds like everyone else has their lines, and he just decided to make 'em up. Not that they’re anything wrong with that.

But it sometimes drags a movie. Everyone else seems so…crisp in their deliveries, and he is the antithesis of that.

Actually, Owen Wilson is a writer too.

He co-wrote _Bottle Rocket_, \*Rushmore \* and _The Royal Tannenbaums_.

He writes better than he acts.

He was also the associate Producer of _As good as it gets_.
