What would be reasons for that?
It was supposed to be a cameo done just because he's friends with Ben Stiller. The test audiences liked the wee cowboy so much the PTB went back to the cutting room floor and made it a bigger role.

Oh, the wee cowboy was fantastic (but I am completely unobjective WRT to Owen Wilson; I adore him), as was the wee Roman general (or whatever). And "I won't quit you!" was my favorite shout out. I was curious because it seemed like a large enough role to be more than just a cameo among friends, but that explains it.

Steve Coogan, no? The guy who lead Owen down the hard drugs and partying path.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

May be true, maybe not, but the only word one has to go on is Courtney Love, who may not be the most stable source of this.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Maybe the word "stable" shouldn't be in the same sentence with her.

How about "Sometimes it seems like she was brought up in a stable?"

Saw EASTERN PROMISES tonight (first opening night movie I've seen in a long stretch, but apparently I'm Cronenberg's bitch). Not quite up to a thoughtful post yet, but I will say that Viggo was really quite amazing. It's a Meryl Streep type performance in terms of precise accent and foreign dialog (at least to my ears), but there was no "ACTING" on display (unlike Meryl a lot of times).
On the other hand, there was a LOT of Viggo on display - in fact pretty much all, plus tatoos. Not what I went to see it for, but the most revealing scene was really amazing and grueling.
It's a seriously, intimately violent movie, though, for those who are squeamish about those things.

I really want to see that. I loved "A History of Violence" and quite like Mortensen, too; I think he's a fabulous actor, and I have a wee crush on him as a person, too.
I think the movie looks potentialy very good, and (shallow) I do want to see him naked, covered in tats and kicking ass.
