Secret Boyfriend Wednesday: In (Some) Theatres Now

We here at Secret Boyfriend Wednesday are nothing if not up-to-the-minute on-top-of what is happening out there in popular culture today. In our never-ending quest to increase our hyphen use and sample from all of life's wares, we occasionally go see a film. And sometimes those films remind us who our secret boyfriends really are. In this case: Luke Wilson.

Just look how the guy handles a tie. Perfect.

The Royal Tenenbaums,
an arguably flawed and yet overall good movie, that just happens to demonstrate how cute Luke Wilson looks with a beard. And a sweatband.

Some people say Owen is the cuter brother. Those people are deluded. Brown hair always wins over blonde, and they should just recognize that fact.


Finally, doesn't he look cute riding around with the President of the United States in Idiocracy? Why of course he does.

[And if it is playing near you, which is somewhat unlikely since it is only playing in something like seven cities around the country, go see it. My favorite line right this second: The future slogan of Carl's Jr. -- "Carl's Jr.: Fuck you. I'm eating."]

[And don't you think that Luke Wilson looks a little bit like last week's secret boyfriend, George Eads? I used to call Nick on CSI "the guy who looks like Luke Wilson" until I got wise to his name.]

What's the deal with that movie? Did Mike Judge take a dump in a studio executive's pillow case or what?

jason was an extra in it. when one of your friends might be seen in the movie you have to go see it even if it sucks, so i'm glad to hear a good review :)

i saw luke wilson TWICE at the old whole foods. one time he was just two people ahead of me in line. the other time he was at the salad bar (my ex-boyfriend actually went up and introduced himself, and then just kind of stood there without saying anything for a few seconds. immediately after this he was elated that he had just met luke wilson and at the same time felt like a total goofball in a "what did i just do?" kind of a way). anyway, i think lw is equally as attractive in person as he is on screen. maybe even more so. but, alas, i haven't seen him at the new whole foods even once! maybe troy's overly enthusiastic fandom scared him away from whole foods for life.

Yeah, I don't know what I would do if I saw LW in person. Probably think "that guy looks a lot like Luke Wilson."

And I didn't notice Jason in the movie, but I'm sure it wouldn't have been as awesome without him. And it really is pretty awesome. I think Josh told me that the companies that they make fun of in the movie were putting pressure on the studio to squelch it. The jerks.
