There is No Point to Matthew McConaughey.

And I don't care if I've spelt his name wrong.

I probably shouldn't admit to this, but I saw Tropic Thunder the other day. (I didn't really expect the language to be so awful btw), and it completely kicked butt (minus the terrible language, of course). Granted, I was the only female in the entire audience enjoying the inpolitically correct jokes....plus, if it was just a film of Robert Downey Jr doing paperwork, I'd still go and see it (common reactions to this included 'EWWWWWW! He's my dad's age!' etc etc from girls, but what do they know? They find Brad Pitt attractive, and he has a face like a semi-melted volcano).
The thing is, the movie was a revelation to me. I realised I don't hate Tom Cruise as much as I thought I did. I've finally seen him in a film that hasn't made me want to walk over the pompous little gits' face. Therefore he deserves some sort of medal. Well done, little chap.

I'm somewhat biased, because Stiller can do no wrong in my eyes (apart from Meet the Fockers, which left me in a constant state of cringe). He's the bloke you meet at parties that keeps you doubled over (laughing I mean, hopefully not drunk) and the evening flowed with his banter as easily as the glasses of wine. Girls hovered around him like hawks, giving each other vicious looks, and the guys looked on enviously. OK, maybe Stiller's a little funny-looking (I don't personally think so, but each to their own) and generally his charisma is enough to carry off a truly awful film through. And he did it again.

All was going well until Matthew whathisname turned up. Like I said, I don't get this guy. His acting has never caught my attention (which according to his filmography, has been made up mostly of chick flicks. Oh dear. There's the problem). He has no charisma or 'pull', only an annoying self-smugness. And not surprisingly, he hasn't won any beauty contests either. So that rules the eye-candy excuse out.

So what exactly do he do?

Wikipedia:

"McConaughey's personal motto is "Just Keep Livin" and his foundation is called JK Livin Foundation. JK Livin Foundation's main purpose is to help young people live "fuller" lives."

Oh like how totally awesome. I love how you like dropped the 'g' of living, so rad. What a drongo.
So how, Mr. McConalot, do you think we should live 'fuller' lives?

Ironically, it goes on at the next sentence:

"On October 24, 1999, McConaughey was arrested at his home in Austin, Texas on charges of possession of marijuana and resisting arrest."

Oh dear.



(Sorry if anybody is a fan, I felt oblidged to replace the wrath I usually pour on Tom Cruise on someone else) :P
