All over, people are suffering, persevering, and making their dreams come true. Somewhere in the universe, The Local Nutcase is reconsidering what his blog stands for. Where is the beer?

I wish I were Clive Owen

Have you people seen this dude? He may-MAY- be my new non-sexual crush. I first saw him in The Bourne Identity playing the thoughtful and articulate hitman who actually doesnt say a full page of dialogue. Then came King Arthur, which I didnt see, but recognized as "Hey! Thats that dude!" Then I happened to find out Mr. Owen was going to be in Sin City, and I saw the "The Hire" films at www.BMW.com . I am now crazy about this dude. He's as good looking as I want to be, just kinda every-mannish, but with an elegant style. (Hence, the beamer.) He also does very intelligent movies.

I just saw I'll Sleep When Im Dead, a film about an ex-gangster whos returns to London to find his brother, only to find he has been killed. While this is about 97% of all films today, it was still cool. Throughout the film, everyone is talking about his character, how is he is a bad ass, but changed. Or how he is still a badass. Lots and lots of talk. The end-all, be-all scene comes after Mr Owen has said maybe three lines of dialogue throughout the entire movie, and someone tells him "Hey, it makes no difference WHY your brother killed himself."

Clive Owen, with his steely blue eyes wide, says, very quietly: "Oh yes, it fucking DOES matter."

It was cool! Clive Owen is the type of guy where you wouldnt be surprised if he wrote a book tomorrow. I mean a real book, a novel, a boring one, that got rave reviews and maybe a Book Award.

I wish I were good looking, but quiet; elegant, but still at home in a Guy Ritchie film; with lots of money, but still beats people up. This kinda guy makes me wish I werent the charming funny fat guy. Sometimes I wish I were the guy that was cool, and also HAPPENED TO BE charming and funny. He has a darkness to him.....I have spongebob underwear.

Anyhow, Check him out. He rocks.
