re: MUD w/ Matthew McConaughey(sp?) is the best movie I've seen in a while

Bump to thank the crowd for bringing this recommendation to the MTV Board.

Just to reiterate what everyone has said, this movie is fvcking awesome. Every part of it seemed so authentic and real (especially for those of us who grew up in similar areas).

Absolutely loved the Ellis kid, stole every damn scene he was in. I don't know if a kid of his age has ever won any major awards, but I'd give that kid anything he was nominated for; he was insane.

As others have said, McConaughey has turned into a pretty badass actor. He was Mud through and through in this movie, damn well done.

The supporting actors in this movie were awesome as well. The Neckbone kid was hysterical and reminded me of my buddy's growing up. If I had one minor complaint it would be I thought they could have done more with Shannon. I kept wondering how he'd figure in, but they didn't do as much with him as they could have.

Very minor complaint though. Easily the best movie of the year so far IMO.
