He should have won it for Wolf of Wall St. He was great in that movie, but sadly Hollywood and Washington are on a homosexual kick right now, so an AIDS infested Mcconnehay(sp. ?) gets it. It is what it is.

I think that article way overthinks things but everybody is entitled to their opinion and content is not going to write itself, I guess.

Eta: also since when is MM not a "cool guy".


And, of course, this.

I disagree with the author's assertion on McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey still is a cool guy.

Was that article written by a poster on the TD?

Back to the OP

The suggestion that Leo is "cooler" than MM is beyond laughable.

Vanity Fair is just being Vanity Fair.

How does Pitt embody cool? As the director Andrew Dominik noted in a DVD extra for the 2012 film Killing Them Softly, “When you watch Brad, you always feel like something’s going on under there, but you’re not quite sure what it is. I think that’s the reason he’s a movie star. He has that quality of mystery. He doesn’t invite you to share his position somehow.”

He doesn’t invite you to share his position. That is as good a definition of movie cool as there is. The cool actor invites admiration, envy, and desire, much more than empathy, because he is unreadable. His characters leave you wondering what it would be like to be them, without ever imagining that you could.


Wow, very well said.
