Jul 29 2008 Here's the 'Surfer, Dude' Poster, Dudes
Can anyone tell me what is going on here? Because I have no idea. I mean, I get that Matthew McConaughey is a surfer(,) dude, and that he's standing in a field being overtaken by a tsunami, and that goats are taking refuge in a solitary tree, and that this is all taking place on a piece of stitched fabric, but WHAT? From what I could tell, this movie was about Surfer(,) Dude lamenting the lack of killer waves, and getting digitized. Is this some kind of impenetrable allegory that I'm not getting?

Jul 21 2008 A New Matthew McComaughdy: The 'Surfer, Dude' Trailer
The ability for something more animal than man to excel in a sport; a plot involving a villain trying to capture our marginally sentient hero as part of a nefarious, ridiculous plan (it involves "digitizing" Surfer Dude); miles of blonde, flowing tresses: if it weren't for all the celebrity stoners in place of 12-year-olds, I'd swear this were a new entry in the Air Bud series (Surf's Pup?).

May 13 2008 7 Surprising Things I Just Learned About Matthew McConaughey's 'Surfer, Dude'
1. It's not called Surfer Dude, as I previously thought; it's called Surfer, Dude. Like the surfer dude is addressing someone, presumably a dude, and saying "surfer" for some reason.
2. Matthew McConaughey is not just the Surfer, Dude star--he's also the Surfer, Dude producer.
3. Matthew McConaughey's production company is called "jklivin." Just Kiddin' Livin', maybe?
4. Surfer, Dude was directed by S.R. Bindler, director of the surprisingly entertaining hillbillies-in-a-truck-contest documentary Hands on a Hard Body. He's apparently one of the few lucky enough to be friends with Matty McC.
5. "'Surfer, Dude' is about a surfer who lives to surf," said producer Mark Gustawes. But then he also added, "Peace, love, and a righteous wave is what 'Surfer, Dude' is all about." Perhaps Surfer, Dude is about contradictions?
6. Anchor Bay has acquired Surfer, Dude, noting, "The acquisition of 'Surfer, Dude' underscores where this company is headed." Thus, Anchor Bay is heading into a bleak, tanned future.
7. Surfer, Dude producers announced they are "pleased to be working with Anchor Bay Entertainment on the release of 'Surfer, Dude.'" Surprising part: someone is pleased to be working on Surfer, Dude.
