The recent Hollywood tail of self-indulgent self-loathing comes not from Paris or Brittany, but Owen Wilson, the talented, nasal-challenged actor who has done some truly remarkable work in his quick rise to superstardom. He's rich, gets to have sex with practically any beautiful woman he pleases, and everyone likes him. So really, what else is there for him to accomplish? He might as well kill himself, and make room for someone else.
THAT SPOILED BASTARD! F**K HIM.
If he can't figure out all the superficiality of Los Angeles, and can't think of others instead of himself (for example, using his millions for charity or business investment to help someone else achieve their dream), then I could care less about his depression and drug use. The entire US is depressed and addicted to drugs - look in the mirror, be honest, and admit it. But no, we lie to ourselves as easily as we lie to others, trying to pimp ourselves and others in every aspect of our culture.
We've become pathetic, godless hedonists, and maybe that's what society should be focusing on. The propaganda machine wants us to believe that that is what Muslim fanatics hate about us. It's not the truth - the truth is, they hate US Imperialism and hegemony, as we've continued to influence oil-producing countries since WWII. Instead, the media says that these so-called 'terrorists' hate our way of life. Well guess what, I'm not too crazy about unfettered consumerism and empty materialism either. Owen Wilson has enough of a conscience to realize the emptiness of fame and our cheap, pointless existence. Seeking help through church, filled with hypocrites who don't have a clue, who are seeking their own fiefdoms of power was no absolution. With the understanding that the world (as seen through the lens of media) is one big Wal-Mart, Owen wanted out, as many of us do. Instead of using his fame and capital to help the world help itself, he tried to create the tawdry Hollywood tear-jerker ending. Poor Owen! Let us share his pain. We can heal you!
I say, let him on his way. If he hasn't the guts to fight for a better world, to appreciate the gifts God gave him and use them for “the light side of the Force”, cultivating meaningful relationships (instead of Hollywood glam, whores and false friendship), then Owen Wilson Should Kill Himself. It'll make a great movie.
BTW - if you don't appreciate irony and see the sub-text of what I'm saying, then you should probably kill yourself too. But praise Allah first.
