Matthew McConaughey is essentially a human soundboard.

Yeah, sorry. He's still no Dragonslayer. Nope.

I have a one year old who has a vocabulary currently of "dada," "mama," and "besy" (Betsy, the dog). I am earnestly working on ensuring that his first complete sentence is "Alright, alright, alriiiiiight." Video forthcoming.

without looking at how long the video was before just watching it through, it went on for way longer than i expected, but i stuck with it. it speaks to his... prolific acting that there's more than one specific scene of him opening a door while holding stuff and making the same grunt.

also, there's a movie of him and Bill Murray seemingly transporting an elephant that I've never heard about.

also also, heard of Dragonslayer, never seen it, and now I'm spoilt as to what happens to him in that movie, and i guess that's all i need to know.

See, Dragonslayer is a good movie. Mr McConaughey's abomination is called Reign of Fire. (Which is actually a pretty good movie. But I'm bitter.)

I have a real love hate relationship with this guy.

He tricks the dragons into burning huge fields of cannabis. They get too stoned to fly or defend themselves.

ah, I was mistaken by your comment above, I didn't think to look up if those scenes were actually Dragonslayer. I might have to check it out at some point.

Dragonslayer is AWESOME. it really hold up well, one of the best cinematic dragons of all time. No cgi!

Aw, I'm disappointed that subtitles aren't available, as I'd love to see what translated subtitles would come up with for this.

That's a pithy soundboard with just the one button.

That was the 1996 flop Larger Than Life which includes some pretty uninspired Bill Murray and very typical M.M.
