December 4, 2020 - I read a few weeks ago in a TIL ... it is in movies/shooting ... In 'Dazed and Confused' (1993) Matthew McConaughey was high for real....

1 week ago - Phillips recalls, "The bartender says to him, 'See that guy down there? That's Don Phillips. He cast Sean Penn in Fast Times.' And Matthew goes, 'I'm gonna go down and talk to this guy.'" Phillips also recalls that Linklater did not like McConaughey at first because he was "too handsome".

December 15, 2020 - The outcome was one of the most quotable lines of an eminently quotable movie, with Wooderson informing the conflicted Pink that he was going to have to make his own choices in life: "You just gotta keep livin', man. L-I-V-I-N." To Linklater, it became the most important scene in the film. Matthew McConaughey and part of the cast of "Dazed and Confused"; Photo: Gramercy Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection

Dazed and Confused (1993) - Matthew McConaughey as David Wooderson

December 18, 2020 - Matthew McConaughey · 5 min read · ·Dec 18, 2020 · -- 46 · Share · Me as Wooderson in “Dazed and Confused”. Universal Home Video. Back in my film school days, I’d take my girlfriend to the Hyatt hotel bar in Austin for free drinks while my classmate Sam was bartending.

April 19, 2024 - Naturally Dazed and Confused came ... actor recalled, the scene where Wooderson pulls up next to Cynthia Dunn and strikes up a flirtatious conversation with her was never actually in the script....

September 24, 1993 - Headlining it are a young Ben Affleck as a crazed senior determined to make the freshmen's summer miserable, Milla Jovovich who I don't think utters more than five lines in the whole movie, and Matthew McConaughey as an older guy who still hangs out with the high schoolers but is so cool and organizes the get-togethers. This movie is very funny in some parts, but it is also very deep. It doesn't achieve classical status like American Graffiti or The Breakfast Club, but it is a strong and realistic portrayal that speaks to all people at that age where life is either far ahead or right around the corner. Indeed, there are many scenes with some "brainiacs" talking about President Ford and his political beliefs, then switching to deciding whether or not to go to a party.

June 30, 2023 - McConaughey usually plays it off as serendipity—the “right bar at the right time,” where two guys just happened to get tipsy and trade golf stories, until one of them happens to mention that he’s working on a movie. But as Linklater would tell Melissa Maerz in Alright Alright Alright: The Oral History of Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused, this is pure, self-mythologizing bunkum.

March 22, 2024 - Matthew McConaughey was cast in his famous role as Wooderson in Dazed and Confused by a chance meeting that is almost too perfect to be true.

September 27, 2022 - My other favorite Dazed And Confused fact is that Linklater (obviously) wanted to use the Led Zeppelin song by that name in the film. Jimmy Page okayed it but then Robert Plant said no. ... McConaughey's character was supposed to be a way smaller part too. But when the actor playing Pickford was such a giant asshole and nobody liked him, McConaughey who got along with everyone got most of his scenes instead.
