Michael Pitt in The Dreamers.

I wanted to punch his face the moment he appeared on screen.

But after ALL THAT, she wants to go back to 2 days she spent with someone? Please.

I liked him in Life Aquatic, but then again that was a very against-type role.

Wes Anderson movies are the only films I can stand him in, although I hear midnight in Paris was good, just haven't gotten around to seeing it yet.

I really want to like Owen Wilson but it's more complex than me just bashing him. It's just my frustration with his career because the man is talented.

He co-wrote Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and Royal T. But half of his career was wasted on junk, and out of sheer luck he got Midnight in Paris only to do something like The Internship, which looks dated and lazy.

Haha, even the Bale version. They were all kind of pretentious.

The order of annoying John Connors. From most annoying to tolerable. IMO, it would go T2, Salvation and T3.

Not sure if anyone has said this yet, but John Cusack's character in 1408. Some actors can take a character that is kind of a jerk and make him charming, but Cusack was just a d*ck in this movie. I spent the entire time watching it hoping he would die.

See, I feel that way about his brother Luke. He's just soooooooooooooo boring. I would have actually preferred it if Owen was in Old School instead of him.
