Why not? He played a genius once.

I always liked Matt Damon. I thought he was smart enough to keep his yap shut about politics. Obviously not; thus, I won't be running to the theatre anytime soon to catch his movies...no matter how good they may be. He is in the same league as Sean Penn now!
Called the Film Actors Guild.Quote:

I'm not going to boycott his movies just because he's dumb enough to open his mouth. If we did that with everyone that opens their mouth, there wouldn't be a movie available to go see!
This guy has been a liberal mouthpiece for several years. Hell, the whole cast of the "Ocean's" movies are all socialists. Most of them do good deeds with their celebrity and should be applauded for that. To boot, they are also all really good actors (in my opinion), Damon included. I really enjoyed the Bourne series. But these guys are morons whose opinions are no more valuable that anyone else's -- they just have a platform from which to spew their liberal angst. The only way they will ever learn a lesson and keep their mouths shut is when their popularity starts to fade. People who don't agree with them can and should make that happen. Then, when they can no longer make the money they were previously making, we will see just how much they actually believe the crap they've been spewing. In the end, these guys are all about making money, maintaining their wealth, and being adored and loved by their fans. If Clooney, Damon, Penn, and Baldwin never worked again, I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep.

Duvall is classic in Open Range, Secondhand Lions, and Tender Mercies...but I don't think he's ever made a bad movie.
Stewart is great in Winchester 76 and Anatomy of a Murder; of course, he was great in most of his movies.
Duvall? Are you kidding me. The Godfather, Mash, The Apostle, Apocalypse Now ... In my opinion, he and Gene Hackman are the best actors ever.Quote:

Never seen Apocalypse Now.
Is it a requirement that Matt Damon "know" the candidates? If he doesn't "know" her, maybe he should shut his prissy little mouth about her.
And he gives her very little credit for being a Mayor and Governor.
Guess Sarah should have been a community organizer. :rolleyes:
You talk about Duvall with no mention of Lonesome Dove? Liberals are taking over the world.
Can't wait for this!!!!
'People's History' headed to movies

Complete Berlinale coverage
BERLIN -- Historian Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States” is being adapted into a feature documentary.
Called "The People Speak,” the documentary will feature dramatic readings and live musical performances from the likes of Josh Brolin, Viggo Mortensen, David Strathairn, Marisa Tomei Jasmine Guy, John Legend, Q'Orianka Kilcher, Michael Ealy and Kerry Washington.
Four performances in Boston at Emerson's Cutler Majestic Theater have already been shot and a planned spring shoot will have Matt Damon, Sean Penn, Eddie Vedder and Steve Earle, among others.
Damon, along with Dan Fireman, Ara Katz Art Spigel of Artfire Films, as well as Carolyn Mugar are producing. Zinn, Anthony Arnove and Chris Moore are exec producing. Damon has long been a fan of the book, throwing in a mention in his "Good Will Hunting,” as well as narrating the audiobook.
Cinetic Media is handling domestic sales while Cinema Management Group, headed by veteran international sales and distribution executive, Edward Noeltner, is overseeing worldwide rights, launching the project at Berlin.
The book, first published in 1980, presents American history through a bottoms up approach, focusing on voices seldom heard in history books such as defiant Indians, mutinous soldiers, striking workers, and rebellious women.

Historian Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States” is what happens when a Lib picks and chooses parts of history to make a point...I hate to say i have a copy of this piece of crap as i didn't know anything about him or the book till after I started reading it...

Are you kidding me. Best movie ever made. I rear my children based on what I learned from watching the Godfather.Quote:

You can act like a man!

What's the matter with you? Is this how you turned out? A Hollywood finocchio that ah cries like a woman?
(then imitating Johnny, as Tom giggles)
What can I do?! What can I do?!
(then)
What is that nonsense? Ridiculous.
[Sonny enters the room]
VITO CORLEONE (to Johnny, after glancing to see Sonny enter)
You spend time with your family?
JOHNNY
Sure I do.
VITO CORLEONE (to Johnny, but toward and about Sonny)
Good. 'Cause a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
Duvall and Caine torque in Secondhand Lions!
Try the book.Quote:

I like most of his movies...Quote:

Gone in 60 Seconds. Not his best movie by any stretch, but I can't ever change the channel when it's on.

The Apostle is one that not too many people have seen, but it's a great movie... even with Billy Joe's acting.
Lonesome Dove. Duvall's quintesential cowboy role. He WAS Gus McRae. The book is damn good too!Quote:
