Sep 19 2007McConaughey Steals Wilson's Thunder (Role)
Variety reports a muscley, shirtless Matt McConaughey has been added to the cast of Ben Stiller's upcoming comedy Tropic Thunder, taking a role formerly filled by Owen Wilson prior to his attempted suicide. Though the part is only a small, uncredited cameo, the loss must surely be making Wilson wonder if it's all worth it. I mean, if you're so easily replaced, will anyone care if you're gone, forever? With close friends Stiller and Jack Black shooting the film in Hawaii, you'll just be sitting around alone. Desperate, abandoned, and alone. Even though you can't shoot with them, and while Kate Hudson has surely moved on to a man as well-built and good-looking as McConaughey (your replacement, don't forget), perhaps there's still some way you can get all their attention while teaching them a lesson...
Too soon?

Yes it was too soon.
But christ...it made me fucking laugh.
I also have a question...what happened to Vince? Perhaps he is still posting his blogs under a different name, but he was the funniest writer this site had.

Not too soon at all, just not quite harsh enough I'd say.

I don't see how my insensitivity on the issue makes me an idiot. I hope he reads this and feels ashamed. I'm having a horrible go at it right now. My life kinda sucks, but you know what? I fight hard every day. Not only for myself, but for my friends, family and my future friends and family whom I haven't met yet. I have no room in my life for stories like his. I prefer to be inspired by great people, not dragged down by junkies, failures and assholes.

Now come on, Owen has it hard so let's not jump on him too much over this. He has to slave away at that acting job, fight off gorgeous women who somehow manage to ignore the comedy nose he has, and still find time to party with his friends. Nope, I'll let him keep that nightmare of a life, I'm enjoying life on easy street in the brickworks thank you very much.
