His best recent role was when he parodied himself in Tropic Thunder. Forgive me for accusing him of embracing the surfer dude image willfully, but starring in films such as Surfer, Dude (not my comma) can create that appearance. That’s hard to believe considering such roles as Tripp in Failure to Launch, or Connor Mead in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, and when currently paired with Kate Hudson (another once promising career running amok), the resulting movies are so off-the-charts inane they practically create a new genre. It seems almost ludicrous to write this now, but there was once a time around 2002 when I thought Matthew McConaughey had a chance to be one of the all-time great actors. Thirteen Conversations About One Thing: An Appreciation It’s been really fun chatting back and forth with you about it, and it is my great pleasure to share your thoughts here.
Thirteen conversations about one thing movie#
It’s a thoughtful in-depth piece, and while, obviously, you should expect to encounter spoilers, I hope you check out this movie as soon as possible. I am so happy to share this essay by Todd Restler, complete with eloquent screengrabs from the movie. I asked him if he wanted to write up a review for my site. (I can be slow on the draw, anyway.) We had a couple of exchanges, and it occurred to me that his thoughts were too good to just sit in my mailbox, read only by me. He saw much in it that I, having just seen it, didn’t pick up on. We exchanged some private emails about it, and his analysis was thrilling to read. Maybe the title turned me off? I can’t even remember, but I watched it, and fell in love with it. I’m not sure why I didn’t see it back in 2001, when it came out. He was so passionate about it, that I ordered it from Netflix right away and watched it. A while back, in a conversation on my site, he mentioned the movie “Thirteen Conversations About One Thing”, a movie he loves, and I said I hadn’t seen it.
A couple words of introduction: Todd Restler has been commenting on my site for a while now, and he’s one of those people whose comments are so thoughtful, and so enthusiastic, that I always get excited when I get an alert that he has “said something” on my site.
