Mal ,'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
there is an annually-anointed New Summer Face
Which wouldn't be Bloom, since he was anointed at the start of winter, pretty much. By the time June came around, he had a huge fanbase of squealing women.
I think his acquisition of rolse has been quite freakish, but I think he's not like MM in that I'm pretty sure he had a hella fanbase before anyone had a chance to drop him all over the big mags and get him huge roles.
Wasn't McConaughey's breakout role in Dazed and Confused? I think he was the only one out of that ensemble to hit it big.
Ben Affleck.
As well, I mean.
If you don't count that Affleck kid, sure.
(not that I remember enough about the movie to know the relative sizes of the roles...)
From McConaughey's IMDB listing, it doesn't look like he broke for a little while longer.
I only saw D&C once, and have no memory of Affleck in it. Huh.
He was the asshole senior with the paddle.
I have no memory of MM in Lone Star.
McConaughey's role was showy and charismatic, but also about 8 minutes of a 2 hour film. That movie belonged to Chris Cooper, lock stock and barrel.
However, I have vivid ones of CC.
Gretchen Mol is the poster child for Vanity Fair should not try to make stars all on their own. Due to it not working.
Dazed did have future HITG Adam Goldberg.
