Pajiba

What a shame. Owen Wilson has so much brilliant comedic potential. He needs to do some more small-scale, indie stuff to gain back his cred. It will make family dinners that much less awkward after I've married his brother.

It's what previews are for on TV, it looked really stupid hence most won't go see it, so you might as well review something else...

Fucking brilliant Ben Folds Five reference. Well done.

And I have no desire whatsoever to see this steaming pile of cinematic garbage.

That is exactly what I thought it was going to be. Thanks for giving me another excuse to ignore Wilson's slow and steady free-fall.

Yes, Gina (does that rhyme with Pajiba), this site should only review good films from now on, cause then they'd only have to work once a month. You dumb twit.

What of it if my name rhymes with Pajiba, you dumb twit! I was being sarcastic...you dumb twit!

You nailed it on the head! I've felt a certain malaise regarding Owen Wilson lately, and I used to be a really big fan of his -- and early on, too, starting with "Bottle Rocket." I never really stopped to ponder it, but you have the explanation for my change of feelings.

I love Dignan and Eli Cash, and the fact that he helped write those roles always prompted me to want to see his next offering. But after "Wedding Crashers" (infinitely inferior to the other comedy that summer, "The 40-Year Old Virgin") and "Starsky and Hutch" (pointless) and "Zoolander" (I don't understand the appeal, either) his welcome has worn thin.

Owen, cleave unto Wes and don't let go. Seriously.

entertainment is entertainment
and little nicky was fucking hillarious

(because the word "Mormon" is supposed to be funny?)

Maybe Mormons are about to become the new nuns, comedically speaking. Hmmm...perhaps Owen and Vince, on the run from the law, decide to hide out in Utah, only to be mistaken for Mormons by the church. Then they'll be recruited to go on a mission to...uh...Tahiti, where their ribald philandering doesn't quite mesh with the message they're supposed to relate. The only tension will be finding out who gets to utter the deathless line:

"Brigham Young or bring 'em old, just bring 'em!"

I can see it now....I'm off to order that screenwriting manual.......

Yeah. That's pretty much what the trailers look like. Unfortunately. Thanks for sitting through it for us.

But yes, I still love Owen. Luke is really pissing me off lately, though.

The Pajiba staff pointed out that it's Pajiba with the "i" sounding like "eye," not "eee." Unless Gina pronounces her name like "vagina."

Question: is there an actor with less comedic flair than Matt Dillon? He is a lousy comic actor and a terrible straight man too. Not a critique of his overall acting ability, just his comedic chops. Of which he has none.

Owen Wilson is becoming the Samuel L. Jackson of comedy films. He's in all of them or so it seems.

"Little Nicky" sucked ass, by the way. Big time ass.

However, after he burns down the living room during the butter-flavored tryst with a Mormon librarian (because the word "Mormon" is supposed to be funny?), he is magically redeemed by a lengthy musical montage. Suddenly, Dupree is the model houseguest, and Carl is the anal-retentive jerk who has a problem with Twinkies. Kate Hudson, meanwhile, occasionally shows her ass, flashes her dimples, and otherwise twirls her hair while Wilson and Dillon argue about thank you notes, cleaning up around the house, and why Molly's father (Michael Douglas) wants Carl to get a vasectomy (don't ask). Expectedly, the "tension" escalates, everyone gets angry, everyone fights, and everyone makes up. Finis.

Christ, Dustin, way to ruin it for me...

But seriously, thanks for stepping up to the plate for us on this one. Or were you just happy to get away from the rotting hell that is "Little Man"?

Somehow, my italics died in the beginning of that. HTML can be scaaaary.

sorry.

re: the title....
I immediately shouted out "IT'S STEVEN'S LAST NIGHT IN TOWN!!!"

oh ben folds, my love for thee will never die.

I really cant believe how down people are on Little Nicky. It is so willfully bizzare! Example: "And now I give you, Henry Winkler: Covered in BEES!!!!

geez duckandcover, thanks for the high school flashbacks, people used to pronounce my name like "vagina"....

Steven's Last Night in Town! Best. Clarinet. Solo. Evar. Now I need to find that CD.

I saw the preview of this in .. oh, hell. I don't even remember, but I watched it, and went "Wow. This looks painfu--oh, Kate Hudson's in it? Fuck that."

I don't know if I like Owen Wilson or not. Sure, he's great in the Wes films.. but.. I don't know. There's just something about him that throws me off.

And if my choice were watching this or Little Man? I'd be in the lineup for 'Dupree' before you could blink. (Clerks 2 in another week! Whee!)

between "gina", "sr", and "duckandcover", "sr" seems to be the only one who understands and knows how to use sarcasm.
thank you. after reading gina's incessant (inane) posts, i'm inclined to agree that her name probably does rhyme with pajiba.

Love love love Ben Folds Five.

And yeah, I'd love for Wes and Owen to team up again. They both seem to work loads better when partnered.

First: Zoolander was pretty damn funny "Moisture is the essence of wetness"

Second: Why does Ben Folds get so much love? Sure, he's got a couple lyrically good songs, but most of it is the worst kind of inoffensive, bland pop imaginable. Though, I do like Voxtrot, so I guess I'm a hypocrite.

Man, from Pedro Almodovar to "Little Man" and this stinker in less than a week, y'all must have cultural whiplash of some kind.

Hey, as a favor to me (smiles sweetly) would any of you reviewers like to take on the newly porn-free release of "Pirates:XXX"? Please? It looks like it'll be fantastically bad.

The personal attacks and rebuttals in the comments section really aren't cool, everyone. Don't treat Pajiba like some self esteem booster where you can feel big about yourself for insulting someone anonymously, it really doesn't make you look any better.

"The personal attacks and rebuttals in the comments section really aren't cool, everyone. Don't treat Pajiba like some self esteem booster where you can feel big about yourself for insulting someone anonymously, it really doesn't make you look any better."

Like your MOM.

And the entire review matched almost exactly what I thought when I saw the add. Another one of those movies that are shat out which are so goddamn bland I will most likely forget it exists in...

^ No, it doesn't. Fun though!

I also advocate a review of Pirates. Though to review the porn free version is to take away it's major attribute, there are some amusing exchanges and Evan Stone delivers some really incredible displays of idiocy. St. Croix is the most pathetic sailor ever. The pirates are all disapointing though.

I could go on, but I'd just embarrass myself further.

All movies are good...some are just better than others.

Gina, the last three movies reviewed you've posted comments about spelling errors and how the reviews suck. Maybe you should find another site.

When I worked in an adult store, I had to be careful to say -which- Pirates I was interested in seeing.

unfortunately for us, it is not Dupree's Last Week In Town.

Why would Owen Wilson be in such a piece of shit? It seems to me that talented actors end up in bad movies because of Hollywood dealmaking and money. I'm sure if we were privy to the details of the deal that put Owen Wilson in "Dupree", we would all share the same facial expression of awe mixed with horror, with just a wee bit of greed and envy. Besides, why kill yourself writing the next "Rushmore", when you can sleepwalk your way through "Dupree", make a shitload of dough, and show up on "The Daily Show" totally baked?

First off, Little Nicky is probably the ONLY Adam Sandler movie I really enjoyed watching him in. That movie was f'in hilariously crazy, and I prefer Sandler doing strange character acting than the same exact bland character that he does in every movie. And secondly, Zoolander is a testament to insanity. Will Ferrell is a genius in that movie.

But other than that, awesome review. Owen doesn't do much for me anymore after watching Wedding Crashers...his character is one of the best parts in Royal Tenenbaums though...

...as a rule, "rom-coms" are fluff and crap no matter how "classic" you dumb-asses think they are -- e.g., "When Annoying Whiny Mewling Man Met Generic Cutesy" (now, formally, "trout-lips"), and anyone who thinks differently has their taste shoved firmly up their rectum....

I just watched Owen Wilson on Conan last night and wondered to myself why in the H-E-double toothpicks he would ever be in that movie. Then I had a vision of Harry Hamlin as Aaron Ecchols saying, "How can you argue with eight figures? It can't be done!"
I think I will always love Owen Wilson, just because he seems like a cool guy. I will never see any stupid looking movies that waste my time, but I still like the guy.

Ahh, the Aaron Echolls moment. I think that really does explain it all.

Zoolander is amazing.

I mean, c'mon, Billy Zane plays himself. And who could ever forget Will Ferrell screaming, "Oh, excuse me, did my pin get in the way of your ASS? Lose five pounds IMMEDIATELY!"

Waaaaaay better than Wedding Crashers.

On a side note, nice review.

Owen Wilson is the used car salesman of film.

"This is a school for ANTS!!"

I hated Zoolander so much the first time I saw it, but it gradually won me over with its sheer ridiculousness.

For Owen Wilson's sake, I hope Wes Anderson is making another movie soon. It's only so long he can skate by as Will Ferrell/Vince Vaughn's sidekick before everyone thinks -meh- when they hear his name.

But seriously: Seth Rogen's in it? Goodbye, $9.50... I'd watch him eat Cheerios for two hours. HI-larious!

To all you Wes Anderson fans: Did you really like The Life Aquatic? I've liked his films in the past but I thought that was one of the worst films ever. The cast was great and it was an Anderson film so I thought it would be at least amusing or entertaining but really it was just unwatchable.

No shit?! Heh! I've been pronouncing it PaHEEba! After singing the tequila song tune.

I love Seth Rogen too.
I also love it when Josh Meyers from MadTV pretends to be Owen Wilson.

I am absolutely with you. UNWATCHable. Especially Cate Blanchett. I usually like her, but her really baaaad fake accent made me want to just slap her.

Oh man, my friends and I dressed up as Team Zissou for Halloween last year!

I thought the Life Aquatic was great. The casting was genius, the sets were great, the soundtrack was amazing... the only thing that lacked a little was the story itself, but there were so many other details to notice that I didn't really care. My favorite thing about Wes Anderson's movies is the world they create (usually down to the tiniest detail), not their "artiness". It's like a meticulously built diorama put to film.

"It's like a meticulously built diorama put to film."

Yeah... or one of those animated displays in a shop window. They don't need any story or humour either. ;)

It's not asking too much for a comedy film to be funny.
It certainly doesn't mean the same thing as wanting "artiness."
Actually Karina, I think what you described as being the movie's good points, were the only things that actually were arty.

I bought the dvd before ever seeing the movie because I was sure it would be good. And I was let down, but I will continue to buy Bill Murray's stuff, because more often than not he's terrific.

I'm gonna go watch Groundhog day!
...Only then I have to also tolerate Andie MacDowell... dang! :)

I watched the movie opening night and I think it was quite hilarious. I saw Nacho Libre prior to You, Me, and Dupree, and frankly I think it was twice as funny than Nach Libre. It reminded me of some of my buddies and the stuff they would do after we left college. I think your review is quite harsh but maybe it comes down to what individuals like. I thought it was a good comedy

Honestly, I think it had its moments, and I can't complain about the music either. For me, Bill Murray can pretty much entertain me through almost any movie, even Lost in Translation, which I thought was supremely overrated in so many ways. It wasn't Anderson's best, in my opinion, but for some reason, the scene with the Filipino pirates, which includes Bill Murray saying, "Don't...point that gun at him. He's an unpaid intern" still makes me laugh like an idiot to this day. Much like the "O R they?" Rushmore line.

Who actually listens to Ben Folds Five???? Lol

These asses filmed this horrid pile of trash in my street. The completed destroyed our neighborhood, threw trash in our yards, made us park miles away from our homes, made noise all night and had bright lights set up at 2-5am to simulate "daylight". Fuck this movie I am so glad it's crap and tanking.

Thanks for making my life miserable just so you could make your million dollar paychecks filming this pile of trash.

The Life Aquatic is my least favorite of Wes Anderson's films. The characters, sets, music, etc. were all pretty good, but the writing just wasn't on par with everything else... Owen Wilson didn't co-write Life Aquatic, and I think that was a big part of why Aquatic fell short. I think he grounds Anderson in some way, as Aquatic seemed more outlandish than the others.

Owen suckered me into watching Wedding Crashers, so I'm not watching this crap even when comes on TV. I've already lost my hard-on for him, but I still think he's funny.

Once more chance, Owen. And that's only because you're still cute in your interviews, which to me, means you are still likeable in person. If you make one more crappy movie that I won't watch, we're breaking up for good.

I thought I was the only moviegoer in the universe that didn't get/like/tolerate Zoolander.

I, too, hate Andie McDowell, loved Zoolander, and adore Ben Folds.

dude, i love your references to ben folds. i looove him

The popular hair-growth drug finasteride, taken by millions of balding men, artificially lowers the results of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, the standard screening test for prostate cancer, a multicenter study has found.

The study, involving 308 men ranging in age from 40 to 60 years old, is available online in the British medical journal The Lancet and is scheduled to be published after Jan. 1, 2007. The study calls for new clinical guidelines for primary-care physicians, dermatologists and urologists to account for the role of finasteride, known as Propecia when used for hair loss, while evaluating PSA results.

"It's not universally known that finasteride lowers PSA levels in younger men who take it for hair growth," said Dr. Claus Roehrborn, chairman of urology at UT Southwestern Medical Center and co-principal investigator of The Lancet study, along with Dr. Anthony D'Amico of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. "It is important for physicians to know that many young men take Propecia and that their PSA level is lowered artificially. Doctors need to adjust the PSA interpretation by multiplying it times two for these men."

Finasteride was initially developed in the 1990s for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), better known as enlarged-prostate disease, and was first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for this use. Patients with BPH must strain to pass urine and feel the urge to urinate frequently. BPH can lead to the inability to urinate and urinary tract infection.

In 1997 the FDA approved finasteride for the treatment of male-pattern baldness. While Propecia is administered at 1 milligram per day, patients who take the finasteride drug Proscar for BPH get a five times higher dosage, 5 mg per day.

"The impact of finasteride on PSA levels is significant," said Dr. Roehrborn. "This needs to be realized by all internists, family-care doctors, dermatologists - anybody who writes prescriptions for male-pattern hair loss."

Researchers have known for years that the same testosterone metabolism responsible for prostate growth also causes male-pattern baldness (called androgenic alopecia), Dr. Roehrborn said. Both BPH and male-pattern hair loss have to do with the male hormone testosterone, which is being converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme named 5-alpha reductase. DHT activates the genes responsible for the development of male-pattern hair loss. Finasteride interferes with this process by blocking 5-alpha reductase and preventing the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

The data in The Lancet study were collected by Dr. Roehrborn from 1998 to 2000 in cooperation with medical centers in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas and Virginia.

The data in The Lancet study are derived from a study Dr. Roehrborn conducted with Merck & Co., Inc. in 2000. Dr. Roehrborn, discussing the reasons to publish this report now, said: "The data are published now out of recognition that there was an acknowledged gap in the primary-care community about the impact of Propecia on PSA levels. When doctors ask for their patients' medical history, they need to ask if they have taken any drugs for hair loss, and the doctors need to multiply the PSA readings by two."

The current study also was funded by Merck & Co., Inc.

I just don't have much to say right now, but I guess it doesn't bother me. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. Nothing notable happening these days. Shrug. Not that it matters. My mind is like a void. I've basically been doing nothing , not that it matters. More or less nothing going on. I guess it doesn't bother me. Not much on my mind.
