@@READY_OR_NOT really ? It’s a movie bro. How hard u gonna try to defend a character. There’s nothing wrong with it because it’s funny and it was a movie but he was clearly talking about high school girls. Because that’s what the character said out his own mouth in dazed and confused. What do u get out of making stuff up like that?

You gotta watch more movies if a benign "alright alright alright" is the creepiest thing you've heard. The dude slapping high school girl's asses is far more questionable

@mbryson2899 Жыл бұрын

@@vegetaAcheetah Who did that and where? BTW, the line wasn't just "alright, alright, alright." It also seemed to be attempting to normalize predatory behavior. Watch the whole scene. Do you hunt HS girls, too?

@vegetaAcheetah Жыл бұрын

@@mbryson2899 lol. Did you watch the clip? Matthew was literally describing that happening on set. His "alright alright alright" was not justifying that behavior or condoning it. I first assumed it was your sensitivity that was the issue with stating that the "alright" quote was "the creepiest lines ever put into film." But, now I'm realizing it's a maturity and comprehension issue with your rebuttal "no you like little girls". Graduate high school before debating and taking such firm stances on issues.

@vegetaAcheetah Жыл бұрын

@@mbryson2899 hmmm. And McConaughey said that? Or did I miss something? Pretty sure he was describing what someone else said. And that's the exact person I would say is "creepy". Saying "alright alright alright" after someone says that is a nice way of ending and getting out of the conversation.
