The McConaughssance: The REAL Poll

Was gonna say I'm sticking with Bernie, which is the most perfect movie of the ones I've seen, but Eastbound throws a spanner in the works.

Is the Paperboy good? Watched the same director's The Butler the other night and thought it was rotten.

it's a one note part, but he is ridiculously funny in E&D

I loved The Paperboy, but I loved The Butler as well, I don't know if I would recommend the former if you hated the latter

Oh man I may have to vote eastbound

Well I'll go ahead and vote Bernie then. Fair trade.

"Ladies of Tampa" and the house rules, for the win.

Was there a reason Dallas Buyer's Club was dropped from the old version? Haven't seen it, so I won't vote for it, but seems pretty key to The McConaughssance.

goddammit

I am not fit to run a poll

Killer Joe.

He's the only noteworthy thing about DBC (and I don't hate it as much as the ragin' gay regiment); frankly none of these good to great performances have come in any films that have been earthshakers.

you didn't like Leto? I agree that none of these are earthshakers, but he consistently does a great job with the material. I think Mud is the best all around film on the list, that's why it's getting my vote.

Was The Lincoln Lawyer actually worthy anything? I figured there was no need to see this if you'd already watched A Time to Kill.

Leto is predictable. The movie is disease-of-the-week mush.

The Lincoln Lawyer is standard lawyer movie but he's glamorous and sharp.

A Time to Kill is offensive and TLL not, so the latter wins.

Haha, fair enough. Wasn't meant to imply ATtK was worth a shit, just that the trailers for TLL reminded me enough of ATtK to skip it.

Leto's performance, per eD G of Slant, is a stunt.

its just a chill-ass meat and potatoes legal thriller with a good cast, one of those things you'd watch whenever you came across it on cable, i dug it

my favorite thing about Killer Joe was the totally wtf ending

xp

voting for Killer Joe, best perf is dallas buyers and i prob would've voted for that

He's great in True Detective except for how he takes drags on a cig, so I'll go with Killer Joe.

leto is barely good in that movie and his plot feels half-imported from some other movie.

I wouldn't even call it a plot

I read the title as McConaughsauce, which I would put on everything.

probably has pubes and cig butts.

Kudos for the DCB snub.

(go for the joke, dirty old man)

magic mike all the way. that scene with him and pettyfer in front of the mirror. and although he is outshined by his paperboy costars I was a lot more shocked by what happened to him in that movie and what his body undergoes in all of DBC.

killer joe. none of these films have been a-mazing, but theyve all been more interesting than the average mainstream hollywood movie, and hes prob the most interesting american actor with that kind of profile. even in average films (eg lincoln lawyer) theres something really enjoyable about his performances, and how natural he seems. can only be a matter of time until he lands a film that deserves him. hes a totally diff actor to nic cage, but i will watch pretty much anything theyre in.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Magic Mike was all-time movie star shit. Carried the movie.

true detective all the way. as good as everyone else is in that show, you can't take your eyes off him at all. he's just, um ok this sounds cheesy, but he's 'electric' in this understated way where even just the way his character stares is creepy/exciting.

i have liked him in a lot of his recent movies though. mud was great. he was the only thing I liked in Paperboy, which isn't saying much.

I am realizing at this point in my life that I really, really do dig McConaughey way more than I used to

mid-mcconaughey awakening

I vote for 'surfer, dude' which is ineligible bc fuck you guys thats why

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0976247/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_15

true detective easily the best thing up there, the one time where the material is as good as the performance

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

alright alright alright

I only watch films, claiming Killer Joe ftw.

I only just watched Dallas Buyers Club last night --- McConaughey's was def a great performance (and seriously had me wondering if he required medical assistance on set, I meant that was Christian Bale levels of emaciation going on there, jesus) but I still think there's something different/better/unique going on with what he's doing in True Detective, maybe that's just because of the overall strangeness of the tv show itself, but still. The makeup is the key to those 3 diff timelines but the way he nails the behaviour/demeanour for each of them to make them so distinct never stops impressing me.

tl; dr...I feel good abt my vote

For a second then I thought people knew that Mud and Magic Mike >>> than everything else (._.)

Lincoln Lawyer was dope, feel like it got slept on because it was right at the beginning of that transition (wow, haha, the last movie before that was Ghosts of Girlfriends Past). True Detective is the clear winner though.

Yes, I get the sense that LL will be a Saturday afternoon cable movie for me, i.e. a flick I'll watch for a few minutes b/w errands.

you rich people and your HBO

First time he stood out to me as an actor was right before the resurgence, in Tropic Thunder.

dazed & confused. he had me at "alright"

LL was evidence that you can polish a turd.
