Gotcha Bitch: Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey is one slick bastard.
The man is
essentially doing what I have desired my whole life to achieve: do whatever the
eff you want, don’t change for nothin’, and make cash mahney while doing it.
Technically, we could call him an actor. In reality,
however, we all know that McConaughey most likely shows up to the set, reads
over the script, says, “Yeah, I’m gonna say whatever comes to mind, actually,”
and then goes and smokes weed in his trailer for three hours. I really don’t
think we can call what he does “acting” simply because he isn’t.
He’s being himself.
In every single movie.
Seriously, every time.
Observe:
Failure to Launch: Plays a 35-year-old man-child
who lives with his parents, has commitment issues, and is friends with Justin
Bartha who is always type-cast as the goofy sarcastic friend. Has a chill
playboy attitude, wears expensive-looking clothes, drives a sports car, and a
cute twangy southern accent. Leaning against his love interest in the movie
poster.
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days: Plays a 30-something
ad executive who has commitment issues and is friends with Adam Goldberg and
Thomas Lennon, his goofy, sarcastic friends. Has a chill playboy attitude,
wears expensive-looking clothes, and rides a motorcycle. Has a cute twangy
southern accent even though the movie is set in NYC and his family is supposed
to originally be from Staten Island. Leaning against his love interest in the
movie poster.
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: Plays a 30-something
fashion photographer who likes to hit it and quit it (thus having commitment
issues), and is brothers with Breckin Meyer, who typically plays the sarcastic,
down-to-earth, half-funny character. Has a chill playboy attitude, wears a suit
pretty much throughout the entire movie, drives a sports car AND ghosts around
with a pimped out Michael Douglas. Still has the twangy southern accent even
though the movie is set in Massachusetts, which is unfortunate because with
those looks and a Bahston accent I would practically lose my mind. Leaning
against his love interest in the movie poster.
The Wedding Planner: Plays a 30-something doctor
who is getting married (!) but is easily seduced by Jennifer Lopez. Justin
Chambers is funny I guess (?). Is actually pretty nice and tries to be
dedicated to his hot blonde fiancĂ© but “settles” for a super-hot Latina…all
while driving a nice car. Has a twangy southern accent in the country-bumpkin
town of San Francisco, CA. Standing behind his love interest in the movie
poster (?!).
Dazed and Confused: Plays a 20-year-old who looks
like a 30-something-year-old man. Likes younger, high school girls, which is
fine because no one should believe in commitment when they’re 20 and/or live in
the 70’s. Surrounds himself with goofy, sarcastic, stoned friends, as well as
Adam Goldberg. Drives a 1970 Chevy Chevelle Super Sport and wears a Ted Nugent
t-shirt. Has a twangy southern accent because OH MY GOD the movie is set in
Texas. Doesn’t lean on anyone but is definitely L-I-V-I-N.
Awkwardly laughing outloud in my office...I am loving the movie poster and character comparisons!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I'll lean against him any day
ReplyDeleteAnd now after his last 2 movies- This is a serious character actor too.
