Natalie, It airs again today at 11AM Eastern / 10AM Central. And it will air over and over and over again... 
Maybe my reaction last night was a bit intense...
I just felt that these were the implied take-away points -
* Why Life Aquatic was not successful - Owen did not co-write it.
* Why Luke doesn't date famous women - he was DEEPLY scarred by his break up with Gwyneth...
* Owen attempted suicide because of Kate...
* TWBS was mysteriously a big flop
* Even though they deny it, Luke "would have to be" bothered by Owen's success - particularly Wedding Crashers.
Why these bothered me...
* The Wilsons learned a long time ago to not reveal anything about themselves to the press. So we really don't know anything - to be honest.
* Wes Anderson's films stand on their own - each one stands on their own and shouldn't be compared to his other work (I know that is a futile stance). He is an amazing film maker of our generation and the critics have always seemed to resent him for some bizarre reason.
* We know that Luke was affected by the break up with Gwyneth - in fact we have speculated that is what he was referring to in the Old School commentary. But to state that is the reason he hasn't dated famous women... what??? Maybe it is because he hasn't met one worth dating. It also presupposes that famous men only date within their own ilk of other famous people.
* We have no idea what was going on with Owen last year - enough said about that...
* To not mention the production scandal around TWBS when stating that it only made back $127,000 of the 8Million budget is irresponsible.
* They just stated that Luke doesn't like to date famous women - why would be want to be a huge star - hugely successful. They can't have it both ways. We only have what Luke has said in the past - that he is VERY proud of his brother and looks up to him.
I did like that they conveyed how close the family is and how loyal they are to their friends. To me that was the big story here - not the sensational dating lives of Owen and Luke... And I loved how much screen time Andrew got. I just don't think there would have ever been a "True Hollywood Story" if certain events had not happened last year. The Wilsons are for the most part a happy Hollywood story.
So there you go!
Of course I am going to tape it at 10AM - I'll watch it over and over again and study every nuance. So I am very grateful to !E for producing this hour long feast for our eyes.
