Those sneaky MySpace folks, after teasing that their Exclusive! First! Owen Wilson! Interview! Since, You Know, The Incident! would be getting a terribly inconvenient midnight world premiere, have (thankfully) snuck the video online several hours early. And? The clip contains talk of monkeys, the inoculations you need to film in India, and other good-natured chatter overwhelmed by the unbearable tension that Anderson will at some point finally break from the small talk to turn to his old friend and ask, "Will you just fucking tell everyone you're OK so we can be done with it?" (A moment that never arrived, but you've probably figured that out already.) Now you can safely head out to whatever boozy plans you had for the evening without having to feel like you were going to miss out on the kind of teary, revelatory moment the Hollywood's troubled stars usually reserve for Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer. See you Monday.

What, no transcript? If I'm not too lazy tomorrow I might do one. You know there are fans out there with dialup, and SOMEBODY's got to pander to them. Might as well be me.
When you think about it, he sort of does address the elephant in the room. Owen says that The Darjeeling Limited is his favorite Wes Anderson film because it's the most personal. And you can't watch his performance and not recognize that the guy was in the midst of an extraordinarily fragile and tender period when shooting it. He's essentially saying, "look, I was (and am) experiencing a deep and nostalgic melancholy, but I've pulled through with family, film and by reconnecting to what matters." He's such a softie. You can't not love the guy!
It seemed that, when Butterscotch tells Anderson that The Darjeeling Limited was his favourite of their films, Anderson turned to camera and said, "And THAT's showbiz!" I could be wrong, perhaps the transcript will clear it up.
Well, that was disappointing; although, when there was a pause and Wes said "Where are you, Owen?", I DID hold my breath thinking he was asking in an emotional, metaphysical sense. No such luck... Still, Wes could have at least asked him "How's everything going?" And Owen is still looking beat and sounding somewhat depressed. He looks like he could use a week's sleep, and that's WITH makeup. My poor sweet baby... He needs to stop doing favors for friends and get out of LA to REALLY rest for awhile. Love you Owen...stay safe and stay strong.
ouch - anyone else happen to get the unfortunately placed 'wristcutters - a love story' ad underneath this story? i feel confident that was completely by chance...
I'm thinking the suicidal tendencies thing was a cover-up for the eye-job Butterscotch clearly had since we last saw him.
Man, that was depressing.
He's zonked on H. Takes one to know one.
he mentions syringe injections and pills giving him nightmares when discussing the india trip. take your heads out of the sand people!
ouch -so sad to watch. owen is so out of it. he is totally not himself. wes seems like he's trying to roll along with it but it must be hard for him to see too.
This new simmering vulnerability only adds to his melancholy sex appeal, as women everywhere line up, pantyless, to smooth the butterscotch ponyboy's troubled forelock... Mama's got a sugarcube for you, sad little ponyboy!
@Tits_LaRue: oh man, you are awesome.
