Matthew McConaughey = allegedly the sexiest man alive

Quite good in Dallas Buyers Club, let down by Oscar-baiting pathos.

^He's really terrific in a pretty formulaic underdog/disease movie. And the gay liberal hysteria over it is quite boring.

I'm a guy who likes movies about people at work, and this one shows him going from Austin Brockovich to James Bond too quickly.

yeah well, movies

DBC was great but felt like it was 3 hours long somehow

you would have preferred the bela tarr version? ;)

he really surprised me with how great he is in DBC, and i mean i'd already seen mud, killer joe, lincoln lawyer, magic mike, bernie - i already knew he was a good actor doing good work. but now i think he might be a great one

"Allegedly Sexy" would be a good Rod Stewart album title (cover art could have a courtroom scene with a hot female witness pointing a finger at Rod)

Maybe I was in the wrong mood, or maybe it's that the trailer sets you up for a different movie, but White Boy Rick seemed quite pointless to me. On the bright side, it's the first time since King of New York I've heard Schoolly-D at the movies (albeit at least a year off on a timeline).

the synopsis for his new one (SERENITY) is uh....

SPOILERS

The film takes place on a fishing island. Fisherman Baker Dill receives strange visions. Businessman Reid Miller is chasing after Baker with urgent news. Baker’s ex-wife Karen suddenly appears and tasks Baker with killing Frank, her abusive husband. Baker appears to have a telepathic connection with Patrick, the son he had with Karen, and through that decides to put aside his goal of catching a large tuna called “Justice” to help Karen and Patrick.

When Reid finds Baker, he explains he works as a fishing equipment company sales rep, and wants to give him a complimentary fish tracker. However Reid inadvertently reveals to Baker that he is a character in a video game Patrick is playing. The real Baker died during a war, and his son has reprogrammed a fishing video game to live out a fantasy of killing his abusive step-father. The digital Baker is communicating with Patrick through the game’s code. Digital Baker decides to follow his son’s wishes and kill the abusive step-father.

It turns out the scenes of Patrick playing the game were not flashbacks, but concurrent. Just after digital Baker kills the digital stepfather, Patrick picks up a knife to finally confront the real-life abusive step-father who has been beating his mother in the next room for years.

I saw this movie and it is bonkers and pretty bad but kinda fun to watch despite that

Kind of psyched for The Beach Bum.

I like Hathaway here giving people an out if they don’t want to see it but maintaining the obligation to promote

Baker Dill

his name is basically a fish preparation reference

agree Beach Bum has (limited) potential

I'm always a little bewildered when I discover that some shaggy dog first draft scrawled in an intoxicant haze managed to evade the critical faculties of however many hundreds of people are involved in making a film and who never at any point just came to their senses and said 'but what if we just stopped making this thing?'

i saw serenity this weekend, it was so bad and i loved it. everything about it is over-the-top and ridiculous.

i was sure for the first third of the NYT review that it was a comedy

see i appreciate that this can still happen and not everything is focus-grouped into tasteful blandness. this isn't "the room" or anything but i like that there can still be movies that are bad in an entertaining way as opposed to just boring

I'm reading that oral history of Dazed and Confused--never knew about this!
