Global warming? I wasn’t aware that Matt Damon was being used to shill for that false religion. Not as smart as I thought he was. Sol (our sun) is a variable star. The climate of the Earth has always been changing, and always will be. It is a fantasy to believe that the world would be in a constant state of eternal bliss if not for man’s evil influence. ---

Every time I see or hear Matt Damon’s name, I think of _Team America_. It’ll take a while for that to fade away … ---

From what I have heard, which ain’t much, he seems like a genuinely nice guy, and would be a cool person to know in real life. And the Bourne movies rock. ---

He was kickass playing the guy who sang “Scotty Doesn’t Know” in “Eurotrip.” ---

Wanted to second the recommendation for the Bourne series. Also, that movie where he costars with Ben Affleck and Robin Williams. I think he’s like, a math genius/janitor at Harvard or something, and Robin Williams is his therapist. I only saw an except, but he was really good in that excerpt. Someday, I’ll actually watch the entire movie. ---

_Good Will Hunting_. I found it unwatchable, but it won some Oscars IIRC. ---

Matt Damon is a lizard man who is actually in charge of global warming for the North American sector, along with Arnold Palmer and Mick Fleetwood. Don’t believe me?
