Justin Theroux thinks it cool to vandalize property

[echo_bravo]

I was looking up articles and interviews regarding Mulholland Drive and came across this interview with Justin Theroux.

"All the stuff with the WTO, the kids in Seattle throwing a bricks through Starbucks windows -- I see it as a good thing. It's saying, like "Fuck you." As long as no one's killing one another, I don't think there's nothing wrong with throwing a brick through the window of McDonalds. Obviously, it's against the law and you go to court, if you get caught, but at the same time, I'm sort of inspired when I see people thinking like that. Obviously you don't want them to be hyper-violent, but any time you can bite at the ankles of people who are dictating your lives…"

Now maybe he was being his normal snarky self but if he is indeed serious then he is a fucking idiot.
So Justin, I guess you wouldnt have a problem with me coming to your mansion and throwing a brick thru your window...hey, its all good as long as no one gets hurt right? Its just a simple "Fuck You" for your role in Charlies Angels.;)

[The Postmaster General]

I don't see a problem with what he said.

It's totally sarcasm. I mean, come on.

[echo_bravo]

See I thought so at first too but then I read the entire interview and Theroux comes across pretty "anti-establishment" (corporations are evil blah blah blah rage againist the machine blah blah blah) so he very well could be serious.

[SkyNet]

i too see nothing wrong with what he said... i mean, you got to read between the lines Echo... obviously he isnt saying go to anyones house and throw shit through windows... he was speaking in reference to the WTO riots in seattle.

Are you familiar with that stuff Echo?? Cuz, to me, being familiar with that stuff, i have absolutely no problem with what he said!

[echo_bravo]

Are you familiar with that stuff Echo??

Yep

[Tweek]

Ah, the WTO riots...What an annoying time to be a Seattle resident. :)

[BlownCamaro]

Only a moron would agree with this douche. He considers Starbucks to be "the man". What a fucking clueless goon.

Haven't you seen Austin Powers 2?!?!? Clearly you are the clueless one!

[Brendan M.]

I guess he prefers this over starbucks.

Ahhhh very true. I hate being wrong!

[Squid Vicious]

While I don't condone throwing bricks through the windows of a Starbucks or McDonald's, the damage caused by the WTO protesters is almost not worth talking about when you compare it to the damage caused by the WTO itself.

[BlownCamaro]

"... just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down! Come on, Pookie! Let's burn it, Pookie! Let's burn this motherfucker down! Let's burn it down! Let's burn it!"


That is all I can picture when I saw these idiots rioting on tv.

[Preston_79]

I support the little guy, but why still the anomosity toward Starbucks? I read one got blown up last week in NY I think. The guy who started starbucks rose from poverty, and he spends more money every year on employee health insurance than he does on actual coffee beans. Sounds like a good corperate giant to me.

I'm with Echo on this, if he actually believes what he just said than he's an idiot.

Yea, go make a difference and destroy some property of a sucessful corperation, becuase if you're that big then you must be evil and part of what's wrong with the world today.:rolleyes: Mcdonald's and starbucks are definitly dictating your lives.

[BlownCamaro]

Actually I think Starbucks has been hit 2 or 3 times in the last year by random small explosions.

I do not get the hate on Starbucks. If I could develop, market, and very successfully sell a product that cost me 10 cents to make for $6 I would be doing it 24-7. More power to them.

Who is this guy and why am I supposed to care about what he says?

[Pentangeli]

Who is this guy and why am I supposed to care about what he says?

The whiney little film director in Mulholland Dr., who has the sort of face one would like to hit with a cricket bat. Though why you should care what he says, I don't know.

Any idiot who destroys somebody else's property, or endorses the destruction of other people's property, needs a good whack in the mouth. Why should we care about Justin Theroux's teeth? Seriously, if you don't like Starbucks, do what I do, don't buy from them. If you think fast food restaurants are the asshole of the western world -- which they're not, because Alan Greenspan is the asshole of the western world -- then don't buy from them. As Alexander the Meerkat would say, "simples".

[echo_bravo]

Oops sorry, I should of at least posted a picture of him. He is in a couple of Lynch films and was in the Charlie's Angels sequel. I even think he had a hand writing Tropic Thunder.

[zombievictim]

So he's someone who has done very little with his career thus far. So again, why should I care about what this guy says?

[SkyNet]

he is quite awesome... he is in most of the David Wain and The State affiliated flicks. He was one of the writers of Tropic Thunder and has another high profile writing gig coming out next year (Iron Man 2 i believe)... he is a funny ass dude... so i mean, he certainly isnt a nobody.. but you still dont have to care what he says!

I like Mel Gibson, but i am by no means a religious person, thus i dont listen to what he has to say on the subject, i just enjoy what he does professionally!

[RustyRazor]

So...if a bunch of teens put a brick through a McDonalds window, it's striking back at establishment BUT if they bust the steering column on this guy's Prius and piss in his gas tank, what would he call that?

[BlownCamaro]

BUT if they bust the steering column on this guy's Prius and piss in his gas tank, what would he call that?


I would call that awesome, but only because the Prius is a pussy car.

[DaveyJoeG]

He's also writing Iron Man 2. I don't understand Justin's hate for Starbucks. Or the Schmoes' hate for Justin. Too much hate going around IMO. It's a vicious cycle guys!

I wouldn't say that's "very little." Besides, he's a solid actor and writer.

And nobody said you should care what he says, but posting this stuff is kind of the point of this forum.
