matthew_mcconaughey raze i've never been a fan of yours, i confess. i always thought you played the same role in almost every film you acted in, and it wasn't a role that required much heavy lifting. to me you were the male equivalent of julia roberts. big brother eric may be a C-list celebrity at best these days, and he's been in enough dreck to make nicolas cage weep, but he can still act circles around hollywood titan julia any day, all day long. after watching the first episode of "true detective", i think i might have to take back some of what i thought about you. turns out you can act after all. right away, i bought you as this brilliant open wound of a character, and i wanted to follow wherever you were going, to better understand how you got to be the way you are. there's more happening behind your eyes in ten seconds of this show than there is happening in the entire arcs of most of the characters you've played in movies. way to destroy all my preconceptions, mcconaughey. now i'll have to go back to calling up adam sandler and berating him for never living up to his potential after "punch_drunk_love" made it clear he could be a genuinely resonant actor if he wanted to be. but i guess if you can get rich off of fart jokes, poop jokes, boob jokes, and the occasional bit of forced paper-thin sentimentality, why not? 140321 ... epitome of incomprehensibility (This isn't about Matthew McConaughey, but what you said about Adam Sandler reminds me of Eddie Murphy playing really silly roles when he's got more potential. Though I'm really too lazy to watch much TV, and movies take concentration.) 140321 what's it to you? who go blather from
