Does anyone else find Luke Wilson's attempted suicide scene in The Royal Tenenbaums almost unbearable to watch after the whole Owen Wilson thing? I just watched it for the first time since Owen's suicide attempt, and my heart literally hurt. After all, Owen did co-write that movie, so odds are he wrote Luke's scene. Life imitating art, indeed.
P.S. If I go out for Halloween this year, I'm definitely going as Margot Tenenbaum. It really fits my current state of mind.

well if you knew anything you would know that wes wrote that scene NOT owen. it's common knowledge really. and wes just recently in some interviews confirmed he wrote that scene, saying owen wasnt even involved writing it back then and it had nothing to do with owen now, good grief!!!
I re-watched it tonight, but that was mostly for the beards.
Very powerful stuff indeed, but I think the part where Chas says he's had a bad year to his dad is even more powerful.
