What Really Grinds My Gears #1

When I decided I was going to write a blog I thought to myself, "You should really get your brother to write a column about what pisses him off. He is a really angry individual." When approached with the topic he jumped through the roof and had a column in my email inbox within 35 minutes. Here is that column...

My name is Jared Kazanovicz, and I am the younger brother of the normal author of this blog. When my brother told me that I could write something for his blog, I immediately knew what I was going to write about.

What the hell is so great about this Owen Wilson character? I think he is a no talent ass-clown. Most of you are going to be like, “wow, how can you not like the movie ‘Wedding Crashers.’” And this is what I have to say to you. I loved the movie more than any other movie in the past couple of years (except of course the recently awesome movie 300, but that’s another topic) I just hate Owen Wilson more than anything. Three things made Wedding Crashers, and Owen Wilson was not one of them. 1) Vince Vaughn is a genius in his own right and deserves a statue erected of him in his honor. 2) The character, Todd added that little homosexual comic relief that any good movie needs, and did it with precision and accuracy. 3) The short but hilarious role of Will Farrell put the icing on the cake as any movie becomes much better with him in it. Owen Wilson added nothing to this movie but was a good supporting role to Vince Vaughn and the other characters in the movie who were much more hilarious than he was. A much more hilarious and better actor could have played Owen’s character, which is Ben Stiller.

And please don’t bring up any other movie that Owen Wilson is in that you think is good because of him. Every movie that he is in, that does well, is because of the other actors around him, whose performances make the movie. ‘Zoolander’, was made famous by again Will Farrell and the already mentioned better acting of Ben Stiller. The only movie, in my opinion, that makes Owen Wilson not look like a total douche bag is the movie ‘Starsky and Hutch.’ Again, the movie became famous because of the superior acting of Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn and in no way did Owen Wilson have any affect on the movies success, but he actually had a few lines that made me chuckle. Other than that, he was the simple bad actor that I have known to hate.

Also, if he is such a good actor than why are there so many movies out there that have him being the ‘other guy” or supporting actor. Well there is a simple example that I am going to give and that is the movie ‘Behind Enemy Lines’ where Owen Wilson is the main character. I know for a fact that many of you have never heard of this movie because of how horrible it is, or the few of you that have scene this movie know exactly what I am talking about.

I actually retract my earlier statement about 'Starsky and Hutch' is my favorite movie with Owen Wilson in it, in the fact that the movie 'Armageddon' had Owen Wilson in it. Remember? No, because they actually killed him off midway through the movie. The Director and I have a lot in common.
