...This puts a lot of pressure on Owen Wilson, which in this instance he's not quite up to. He given some pre-release interviews in which he pretends to be a real-life Dupree, while modestly disclaiming any particular ability as an actor. I don't believe the first claim, but I think we can all agree about the latter. This is a guy who has written three scripts with Wes Anderson - Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums, which are also, come to think of it, presumptive comedies rather than the real thing.

...tension in the family worsened. Einstein and Mileva exchanged letters arguing about both money and vacation timing, and at the end of June a curt postcard came from Hans Albert in response to his father's request that he be available on a particular date to go on their proposed summer vacation: Dear Papa, You should contact Mama about such things, because I'm not the only one to decide here. But if you're so unfriendly to her, I don't want to go with you either. We have plans for a nice stay that I'd only give...
