Dallas Buyers Club

Wow! Movie looks fantastic.

If I were told Matthew Mcconaughey would be in my top 5 actors of all time, 2 years ago, I would have laughed at you. After Killer Joe, Mud and now this, that seems to be a very likely situation. The guy has skills I just didn't think he had.

Can't watch the trailer, but he a co-star of sorts in my favorite horror movie of the last 15 years or so--Frailty.

He's obviously headed towards an Oscar.

This certainly looks like an Oscar winning performance.

This looks fantastic. I haven't seen Mud yet, but I've heard great things. I might try to check it out in the next few days; Killer Joe was somethin'.

 

[Batty]

Mud is one of my favorite movies of this year.

An Oscar winning trailer performance?

An Oscar winning trailer performance?

Well yes so far. Anybody that can get into character like Mcconaughey has done here, certainly deserves recognition.

 

[batfan08]

In that case, Bale deserved one for The Machinist, as well.

I agree. Bale came to mind as soon as I seen this.

Frankly, I think they should create an award for when actors continually do this kind of thing. It shows extreme dedication to the craft, and that should be worth some sort of merit. Lots of actors can transform into a character, but to transform physically, emotionally, and mentally is another thing entirely

 

[karamazov80]

I remember reading something about McConaughey experiencing some extreme negative health effects from all his losing and gaining of weight for roles. Jared Leto here gained a lot of weight for some role not long back.

Wasn't it for the dude who shot John Lennon? You know? Holden Caulfield?

In a way De Niro did for Raging Bull.

 

[batfan08]

Yeah, he did, and it's that kind of dedication that should be noted.

 

[Batty]

I think Charlize Theron is another good example. Not for dramatic weight gain or loss, but she was unrecognizable in Monster. It was an amazing performance.
