You and Dupree
I've been a fan of Owen Wilson since the mid-late '90s, but I have no desire to see, "You, me and Dupree." Okay, a little, tiny bit of a desire, but not enough to actually watch the movie. The commercials and trailer for the show reminds me of a line from "Wedding Crashers" when Owen turns to Vince at the Lincoln Monument and says, "We're not that young anymore." I guess I'm getting tired of Owen's schtick or just wish he'd write more with W. Anderson. Even though Owen's welcome right now now is wearing thin, I started thinking of how many of his movies I've seen. Here's the list courtesy of imdb.com---The real question is...how many of his movies have you seen?

Oddly enough I've seen both the Minus Man (wherein he plays a murderous psychopatch) and Permanent Midnight.
Weird movies both.
12- and i'm rather proud that i haven't seen some of those scary sounding others!
But when you decide to cave and see Dupree, I'm hear for you.
Um, sherp...I TOO have seen 17/26...are you surprised? I TOO have a mustard seed of desire to see Dupree, but probably won't. I TOO wish that he would play smart instead of dumbing down...it doesn't have to be with Wes Anderson, but he could do an art movie now and then, it wouldn't kill him. He's like suffering from opposite of Bill Murray disease. They each started at the opposite end of the spectrum, crossed, and are now again in opposite places.
wait. he was edward applebee?
11/26 and I must agree with you, I really don't want to see Dupree... but I did watch Wedding Crashers again last night and that movie is funny ;)
Yeah, he was. I think you see Edward for maybe a second. maybe
