Matt McConaughey finally lives up to his potential
I remember the huge buzz that surrounded Matt McConaughey’s debut in motion pictures. I remember it not because I was particular taken with him, but because he was from Texas, a place I value. I also remember how quickly I realized that, despite the buzz, McConaughey wasn’t going to set the world on fire. He’s nice enough, but…. And then there were those little brushes with the law (plus nudity and bongos, if I remember correctly).
But even silly, overrated people grow up, and McConaughey seems to have done so with a bang. Running counter to Hollywood mores and D.C. politics, McConaughey is making a big deal out of supporting American Vets. I’m so impressed, I may even make a point of watching one of his movies. He deserves some support for taking what is (but shouldn’t be) a very brave stand in today’s entertainment world.
