REMAIN ALERT: Ka-Kaw! Ka-Kaw!

As you may know by now Owen Wilson recently survived an attempted suicide.

This is a sensitive issue for the staff of Remain Alert because our lives have also been touched by this particular tragedy.

However more importantly we are HUGE fucking Owen Wilson fans.

Owen Wilson's career thus far has been graced with a cornucopia of colorful and memorable characters, Hansel, Heat Vision, and Roy O' Bannon to name a few.

His signature schnoze and boyish charm along with a keen sense of comedic timing skyrocketed amidst the ranks of American comedy stardom.

However his true best work lies in his collaboration with long time friend Wes Anderson. Wilson is as large a factor in Anderson's films as Anderson himself. He is credited with having co-written Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaum's. Wilson stands out amongst the tapestry of Anderson's characters the way Jesus sticks out amongst other messiahs.

We here at Remain Alert wish a speedy recovery for Mr. Wilson and eagerly await his next performance.

And for those who have been living in oblivion and may be unfamiliar with the works of Wilson-Anderson here's a little treat on us.
