I'm not sure how this movie doesn't have a thread yet, but has anyone seen it yet? It's finally made its way to Raleigh and is showing at the Colony and Crossroads.

Quote :

"Matthew McConaughey stars in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB as real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. These were the early days of the AIDS epidemic, and the U.S. was divided over how to combat the virus. Ron, now shunned and ostracized by many of his old friends, and bereft of government-approved effective medicines, decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, the entrepreneurial Woodroof joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts - who he once would have shunned - and established a hugely successful "buyers' club." Their shared struggle for dignity and acceptance is a uniquely American story of the transformative power of resilience."

I saw it on thursday. Didn't even know what it was about before going into it. Thought Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto gave excellent performances. I'm not usually a fan of movies like this, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

saw it, butterfly scene was neat, kind of evocative of his transformation which was the main theme of the movie to me (from big homophobe to activist), it would make me sick to have to make myself look that messed up for an acting role like MM did
