It is, but OPs comment just made me realise that I genuinely think either actor could have swapped roles in TD season 1 and we would have still got two killer performances.
Don't get me wrong, it's perfect the way it is, but McConaughey could 100% pull off the womanising family man who's a straight shooter and Harrelson could definitely do the space-head nihilist extremely well also.
Two extremely talented actors for sure

I went to a nice beach on a pacific island a few years ago and some kid was flying a drone around while me and my soon to be wife were trying to watch the sunset.
I asked him to stop, fortunately he did.
Drones absolutely need to be banned from quiet natural places. Around cities and sports stadiums, concerts etc I don't care.
We use them in construction to take photos of very large work sites, acres of land, quite good in that regard and tracking progress etc.

u/Skandronon 2d ago
People fly them over remote mountain lakes around where I live and sometimes they end up in the lake. It requires someone to go remove the drone before it starts leaching into the water. My wife was a ranger and just the sound of a drone sets her off.

Those are like the worst places to have drones. It may suck if you're out there trying to enjoy it, but remote places with no people are going to be the safest places for drones. I'm all for banning them within a certain range of a person, but "only in crowded areas" is just insanity.

Woody kicks his cowboy boots up on the desk softly, leans back and absolutely eviscerates drones in a cool western drawl. Complete with a harkening back to the good old days and an ultimatum, he lays into it. Concludling his monologue, Woody leans forward and tips his hat, as if the wind itself is exiting the room with a rustle of jeans and jangle of boots.

How do you make that law work? If you're in public, basic decency suggests that you be given space, but no one can absolutely expect that. If you make more laws, how do you word them so they simultaneously protect yet do not infringe on the rights of other. There's a big picture here.
Edit: I know Europe has a hodgepodge of laws banning aspects of free speech across 44 (ish) countries. "Europe does it, so we should." is the most specious argument you can think of.

u/RaspberryFluid6651 2d ago
Airspaces are already heavily regulated and there are strict rules that people using drones need to follow. For example, in the USA, drone operators need to stay below a certain altitude and speed, not fly over people, keep the drone in their own line of sight (no flying around corners or behind things, even if you have a camera on the drone to see what you're doing), yield to manned aircraft, and follow several other rules or they get in big trouble. On top of that, a paparazzi taking photos for their job would be operating a drone commercially and probably needs an actual license.
This, however, is in Croatia. I don't know the rules there.

They’re not going anywhere. Celebrities (PR teams) will sometimes call paparazzi on themselves and/or work with them to get photos. Sometimes for the visibility. Sometimes for image rehab. Sometimes in exchange for not bothering them at other times.

Pretty sure neither of these guys called up the paps to make sure their relaxing paddle boarding sesh would be interrupted by the obnoxious buzz of a drone.

I don’t remember the details but it had to do with how Matthew’s mom met Woody and said she “knew” his dad from the timeframe following her second divorce from Matthew’s dad.

The timeline of it looks to be that Matthew’s dad may not actually be his dad and that he was conceived when she “met” Woodys dad.
So she didn’t birth Woody, but she isn’t 100% that the guy who raised Matt is his biological father.
