Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson chat… and it isss awkward
I still haven’t seen ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ (or the Darjiling as Wilson pronounces it) but our boy Marek checked it out and liked it a lot. I love Wes Anderson, but this ‘interview’ gives me the creeps. Wilson’s obviously either medicated or still fragile from his suicide attempt.. or more likely both, I keep expecting him to go “Wild Cat.. Willllllddd Catttttttt” and Anderson looks like he’s been forced into it. I could barely watch it to the end…
The films had mixed reviews and this weird piece of PR does nothing to hype the film for me… it’s just awkward.
(I saw it when TedZ over at BigScreenLittleScreen posted it)

I dunno but have you noticed that this is split screen? If you take that into account, it is more like a filmed phone conversation and therefore not as awkward as you make out.

Yeah I saw the whole split screen thing Antonio, but I still think it’s awkward… it just feels very forced to me.

I guess it is a bit and if it were for any other film, I would wholeheartedly agree… but I think that there may be an element of the surreal simply because it be Wes Anderson.
Hats off to Owen Wilson for doing this anyhow… (if it has been done post event that is).

I’m biased but I did enjoy this, I thought it showed just how chilled these guys are and relaxed with each other. It possibly peaters out at the end but it’s refreshing to see a comedian be so laissez faire and funny at the same time.

I couldn’t watch more than 30 seconds. I blame Alan Partridge.
