How Do We Feel About Matt Damon?

morbs and i agree

not about the only part, but that it's a funny movie

probably the most consistent hwood star of the 00s in terms of quality of projects

jeezus, like what? I think it was the combo of Good Shepherd and Informant that resolved me never to see a 'Matt Damon picture' again.

tho I saw Inside Job today, so I guess I paid to see a Matt Damon souped-up PowerPoint presentation.

thought you saw movies for free

You Left Out The Only One I Like

Potential collected-works title.

they didnt send me that one, nor did I get to an awards screening. xp

but to answer the thread question, I'd fuck him.

oh i forgot abt Inside Job! also lol porn title.
tho tbh he's not so much a WS to me as a would hang out and talk abt the world with (and bask in the sunlight of his smile obv)

I admire him for taking the narrating job for a film that points out what a phony our prez is, which means the sucking-Obama's-dick limo lib crowd might be pissed at him for awhile.

even his dick has a limo

I think I've established my position on the WS Matt Damon question pretty clearly ITT but in case there's any doubt: I'm definitely for it.

Oh and Stuck On You is great. I forgot that one.

lol suck on u

Outside of the Ocean's movies I can't think of many, if any, movies starring him that I've seen. (File under: "I know, right?")

Want to see True Grit, though.

dick limo!

You ppl don't even know how to read hyphens and modifiers, no wonder you think those Ocean's donuts are "movies"

lol @ u!

<3 srsly!

"i'm not sure that was his rationale but assuming it was, has anyone else taken that route?"

Redford, I guess, but I guess you could make the argument he's a pretty mediocre director too (not that I think Affleck is any great shakes at this point.)

"I don't see Damon playing great sociopaths, as he was a black hole at the center of the utterly misguided Talented Mr Ripley."

Yeah that was a crappy adaptation.

rlly? i have never read any highsmith but that seemed like kindof a good movie?

would blap

TMR is a good movie and one of damon's best roles. not read highsmith but it's in the same class as the other highsmith adaptations i've seen, wenders's and hitchcock's.

you should watch the 2003 one with Malkovich.

im disappointed that al doesnt have a pithy nickname for talented mr ripley

you guys should read highsmith she rules!

i don't really like talented mr. ripley but maybe it's good as a movie apart from its failure to capture the novel

at the time i thought damon was pretty bad in it

yeah horseshoe otm those books are great and creepy, there are not enough novels about sociopaths these days imo

Not really: Ripley doesn't make sense as a character. But I liked the supporting cast though.

xp to horseshoe

i liked tmr, i will say this about gwenyth too, she is a babe

i remember gwyneth and jude law a lot more than i remember damon's performance from that movie

cate blanchett is a babe

gwyn, she's ok

i will say, blanchett and law in that movie make paltrow and damon look very normal persony. paltrow is so pretty in general though; she looks kind of whatever in that movie, maybe that's part of why i didn't like it.

On the other hand TMR was pretty bold about its homosexual subject matter, and I remember the audience uncomfortably rustling when Damon asks Law if he can join him in the tub.

but these days jude law looks like ass and matt damon is v cuet, so

looks a bit beefy to me but im not the target market i guess

poor jude and his hairline

Jude Law went through that period when he made Gattaca, Wilde, and TNR that made him look dangerous and sexy; then he fucked his kid's nanny and became human.

TNR = TMR

haha i was afraid of sounding predictably self-righteous but i do kind of feel jude law's soul caught up to his face or something

amerikanische freund is nice but strangers on a train does unseemly things to it

i do kind of feel jude law's soul caught up to his face

goddammit, what a hit

that's some reverse Dorian Grey shit.

gonna write a character for jude law valled yerg nairod and see if he spots it

I am not averse to Matt Damon, although I suspect that, like so many movie stars, his success is as much based on an intangible charisma as on acting ability. That's ok by me, since I am just as much smitten by charisma as the next guy, and this has been true of movie stars since the silent era.

I must say I am a bit surprised at all the love shown here, after reading so many ilxors slag off on Good Will Hunting, consistently and in multiple threads, as if it were one of the greatest abominations ever foisted on an innocent public. Clearly, he has redeemed himself.

so many years, so many floppy bangs ago.

fell like affleck is prob ahead of him on both banging and flops tbh

feel like damon is some sort of avatar for millennial wholesomeness, i like him btw

talented mr ripley is p great in its own way too

maybe i should watch it again
