McConnaughey will be nominated simply so that he attends the Emmy's.

Either McCounaghey or Cranston deserve the actor Emmy, whoever wins it will be fair. I mean it probably won't be fair, per se, but I won't complain either way.

Trying to find a show. Its Australian (I think), about a kid who wants to be famous and is filmed (I think) in a mockumentary style), highly rated by reviewers, might be playing on a US cable channel. I know, its vague, but I'd really like to watch it.

Well, at least there's absolutely no shame whatsoever in coming second to Breaking Bad's final season.

No, that's the old guy who dresses up as children, right? No, this is actually a kid. And it veers between drama and comedy.

If you want to pretend it's the story of Rust Chole's "missing years", check out McConaughey in Mud on Netflix. Surprisingly good flick.

After seeing Burnham's killer "what." show (go check it out the whole thing is on YouTube/Netflix) I'm interested to check this show out now, but it feels like it might veer towards the dumber side of his work. Anybody know if it's worth it?

It's from the writer/director of Take Shelter, which owns bones, and stars Matthew McConaughey, who owns bones. (Sorry, I just really like the phrase "owns bones.")

Yeah but even if he only started owning bones in 2011 then Mud was still out during the period when he should be expected to own those bones.

Ok 1994-2010: Zero bones owned. 2011 - hence: Many bones owned. THAT'S RECENTLY.

Speaking of McConaughey owning bones, TV chat: finally getting around to True Detective. Two episodes in so far and it's great poo poo. I like how the case is sort of a backdrop and reflection of Rust and Marty's character development.

Until recently, McConaughey was one of those actors who was really good but somehow chose crappy projects a lot of the time. Still: Dazed and Confused A Time to Kill Amistad Frailty Tropic Thunder all before 2010. Even some of the lighter fares he was a part of were not great but still pretty enjoyable (Edtv, Sahara, Contact, a few of his romcoms). He mostly started to do romcoms in the early 2000s and stopped around TT so its not like he did that for most of his career. Also he was always cool and hilarious, it's just that now he's managed to prove that he's an incredible actor as well. edit: I can't believe none of you mentioned Frailty in the list of his movies. It's an incredible flick where both he and Paxton give a seriously great performance and he showed way back when that he had serious (and dark) chops. edit 2: Sorry it took you so long to find out what we all already knew, zoux

Cart posted:Nah man, Frailty was always underrated and McConaughey was great in it. Everyone should watch Killer Joe though. Yeah it's a criminally underrated flick. Which is weird, because I mean even Ebert gave him 4 stars but people just generally ignored it and pretended it didn't exist or something. I would say that people should watch Frailty before they even watch Killer Joe, it's a better movie and arguably the best movie McConaughey was a part of.

The image of a shirtless, stoned McConaughey playing the bongos became etched in the national consciousness after his brush with marijuana possession in 1999. After a string of critical and commercial disappointments like “Sahara” and “Fool’s Gold,” McConaughey became the butt of numerous jokes quote:For years, McConaughey embodied complacency; he was an actor who bought too heavily into his own allure and therefore stalled out early on. quote:In 2009, Matthew McConaughey starred in “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.” He played a womanizer gliding through a hacky rom-com screenplay, apparently on the lubricative properties of his own greasy hair gel. It was yet another himbo role for the actor, and would mark his career nadir. IM NOT JUST MAKING THIS poo poo UP OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.
