it all ties in, really.... I'm a big fan of people watching and trying to read body language..it's so cool and natural and if you really look you can tell alot about people that they don't even realize..
I had watched Bottle Rocket not long ago and just the other nite Old School because it is bloody hysterical.. and I of course have seen Owens stuff numerous times, so I was trying to see the differences in the two boys. I think Luke is very stable and comfortable with children, he'd be a great husband and dad.. not saying Owen wouldn't.. it just seems Owen would take some warming up to and vice versa, and I bet he keeps alot of stuff surpressed. Luke seems like he's very comfortable in his own skin.. again, not that Owen isn't.. he just seems kinda moody .. They (meaning actors in generel) say you need to pull up what is in yourself to create a character..note how Owen has said that he plays his character with insecurities and vunerabilities because it's easier for him to relate to that.. because no doubt he has those himself, and again - not saying that Luke doesn't.. everyone does, I think Owen may dwell on his more often then most... good that he keeps busy.. I think one line in Bottle Rocket sums up Owen for me.. it's where Dignan says he's not as confident has he looks sometimes.. awwww...
You can tell alot from still pictures too..not the ones from mixers where everyone is half snockered.. they don't count! lol!!
I know you all out there have to do this too occasionaly.. what have you come up with?
Sorry so long it's Sunday morning, I'm babbling... believe me I could go on and on with this.. so in that respect I guess it's not that long after all! ;D

Cindy, I agree with you. I engage in the same people watching (really passes the time at airports, doesn't it?), and I agree with everything you wrote. Luke appears to be naturally relaxed & comfortable; therefore, he's relaxed & comfortable with himself as well as with others. Owen, on the other hand, seems to be a little more unsettled beneath that laid-back covering. Like you said, no disrespect to Owen; in fact, I think I'm more like Owen than Luke in that way. I think one line in Bottle Rocket sums up Owen for me.. it's where Dignan says he's not as confident has he looks sometimes. It may be especially revealing, Cindy, to note that it was Owen who wrote this line (along with Wes). Owen has said that he enjoys writing & acting characters who are a little "cracked." He says they are more interesting. I agree, and Owen's foibles make him all the more lovable.

I disagree that Owen is moody but then I can be moody at times (but I haven't been for a long time). Owen is just so easy going. He makes me laugh more than what Luke does. No offense to Luke fans. (I like both of them).
I also think that Owen would make a great dad. ER.........he seems a bit flirtatous but I can't talk, can I..............I think it may be my sense of humour.
Luke is easier going from what I have seen of his acting. He doesn't make me laugh like Owen does though.
I love to watch his body language, as well as other people's. He has one that I call a Sheryl Crow stance. Hands in his pockets, not much of a smile and he wore sunglasses last time. That says back off to me.

I always tend to think that Luke is a little more serious than Owen is. It's refreshing to see that they both have their own personalities and special qualities that endear us to them. ;D

I love watching Owen's body. Er, language, his body language! I totally agree with what you said about Owen and Luke, Cindy. I think that Owen does dwell on insecurities he has about himself- he seems pretty shy, despite his easy. laid back manner. I remember him being on Jonathan Ross's chat show with Ben Stiller, and he was obviously shy and insecure. But it just makes me love him more. I think that Owen is probably more sensitive and in touch with his softer, more feminine side than Luke is- he seems like a real man's man. I think that Luke is obviously more confident in himself, and perhaps a little more boisterous- although Owen has his moments. I fancy them both rotten, but Owen just seems like he needs more taking care of, which I would cheerfully do, given the chance!

Jackie Chan has said in an interview, that Owen is very shy and keeps to himself when off set. He is always reading a book or something. If we didn't have different personalities, we would be very boring.
Luke comes across as someone who would deck you if you said the wrong thing. I think that he has already given Owen a shiner when they had a disagreement. Owen said he looked away for a second and when he looked back WHAM! One black eye! Uno macho man!
Wouldn't you just love to give Owen a big hug and protect him. I wish! I think that he is a pacifist. He has a great personality while Luke has more of a fist in the face attitude. One reacts, the other cares what he says. Owen is sensitive. Luke is practical.
I don't think that I could take a man who is so macho that he would deck someone. It is bad enough that I have a son like that, but at least he gives plenty of cuddles and is caring. I think that all the Wilson brothers would be very caring.
Lucky Mrs. Wilson.
Um, I have had a husband who was too 'fist in the face'. Unfortunately, it was my face. Ouch!

I am SO sorry you had to go through that. No one should.

I am not alone though. At least I divorced him but the sad thing is that my daughter, Liana, was only 3 months old at the time.
I agree that no one should have to go through being hit either on the body or face. I taught my sons not to hit females. I hope it worked. (I think it did).

I'm really sorry to hear that Lotus, no wonder you like Owen so much, who appears to be the exact opposite of that. I think that's why I like Owen so much- I have a bully for a father, and I've always hated macho/fighter men. Give me a soft voiced, sensitive, book reading guy over that any day! ;D I would agree that Luke is slightly more imposing, both physically and personality wise. He seems a lovely guy, but he seems to lack a bit of the sensitivity that Owen has. As evidence for this statement, I will cite an interview on TRT dvd, when talking about suicide- he makes a throw away comment about people attempting suicide- he says something like "If you're gonna do it, do it properly!" Something kind of off, like that. He meant it in a humourous context, but I found it a bit offensive. Maybe I'm just over sensitive because I suffer from depression... but bad form, Luke. But I still love you.

People who haven't experienced depression can say a little offensive things about many things, especially suicide. But I'm sure Luke is a sensitive, caring person.
Both Owen and Luke seem to be sincere people who think their friends and family matter most and are very thankful to their fans. I'm sure both of them will be very nice to any of us and not anything like some violent people in our lives.
Two women a week are killed by their partners' violence in the UK. I'm sure the situation is similar in many other countries. I love you girls so please hold on and believe in your strength.

I'm sure he is, and trust me, I wouldn't let that put me off if I had the opportunity to um... Sorry, I fell off my chair... Aaw, BP- you're so lovely. I just want to give you a big bear hug!

Big bunny hug and big panda hug to you SK!!!
You are so precious. You don't know how happy I am that you are back.
Unfair things happen to good people sometimes (or maybe often) but if they hold on their strength will enable them to come through.
Hugs to everyone who is having the hard time of their lives.

I think thats so unfair to be asked such a question during an interview. Mind you he need'nt have responded either. I like to think that maybe he was put on the spot and that was the first comment that came to mind. My heart goes out to anyone who suffers from depression, my mother has suffered from it for 29 years now. Lotus good on ya girl for having the courage to stand by your convictions and escape your past life, keep on looking forward and don't look back.. I would just like to add that brothers fight and rough play. My husband still does it with his brothers and they're all in their 30's, its hysterical sometimes when they are trying to get one over on each other. They role about the floor fighting like 6 year olds sometimes, but there's never any real violence behind it. My husband is the most sensitive man on the planet and would'nt harm a fly. Rough housing among male siblings is fairly natural behaviour. They kiss and hug a lot too. I think Luke sounds very much like this.
