Now when I see him all I can think of is that horrible rape scene on the steps that seemed to go on forever and made me gasp, squirm, and finally withdraw from the whole movie. Too bad that it's tainted him for me. I still LOVE "Hidalgo." Now I cheer for the horse.Betina Krahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379124690406269848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1153259118835886972006-07-18T16:45:00.000-05:002006-07-18T16:45:00.000-05:00Oh, yeah, and I generally prefer the darker male, ...Oh, yeah, and I generally prefer the darker male, too--dark eyes, dark hair, a touch broody--but what about Viggo Mortensen?

Shanghai Noon is my favorite, but he's hilarious in Zoolander, if you can stomach Ben Stiller's antics. And the Royal Tenenbaum's is interesting - he co-wrote that script.<BR/><BR/>Anne, I agree. He does seem very natural. Like you could sit down and carry on a conversation with him.<BR/><BR/>As for Clive Owen - anyone see Sin City? Bizarre movie.

Cli...Helen, we must be on the same wave length. . . Clive Owen and Owen Wilson. What is the "Owen" factor? The stubble? Partly. The eyes. Definitely. They both have interesting noses.<BR/><BR/> Owen Wilson has developed a character who is unique in filmology and in fiction: the lovable, good-hearted perennial hippie/seeker in the modern capitalist world. And it works when paired with Jackie Chan or Vince Vaughn or Kate Hudson.<BR/><BR/>He's remarkable, I think. And getting better all the time. It may be the distracted spirituality of his characters that draws me. They're oddly indifferent to the intensity of the setting and problems around them, because he's always focused on more internal processes and eternal verities than the folks around him. And in the end he has an impact on the world and his fellow characters. It works in the old west or in modern suburbia.
