MATT DAMON IMITATES MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
In honor of THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM coming out, easily my most anticipated movie of the Summer, I thought I'd link this clip of Matt Damon on Letterman imitating Matthew "No Shirt Can Contain Me" McConaughey. It's not much, but that's what I find so funny about it.

I'm really jazzed about the new BOURNE. Some thought the last flick wasn't as good as the first, and I was mystified. I think SUPREMACY was the equivalent of one of the great 70s revenge films: taut, tough, focused, and relentless; totally on par with IDENTITY. And we've obviously seen what Greengrass can do with UNITED 93. Doug Liman did a fine job with the first one, but think how rare that a director of Greengrass' ilk should be handling a major franchise like this.
As for Matt Damon, he is either very very smart or has a very very smart agent, because his post GOOD WILL HUNTING career moves have been very smart. Unlike the doofus McConaughey, he has yet to star as second banana to Jennifer Lopez or Kate Hudson in a dopey romcom. Unlike his old "writing" buddy Affleck, he has only managed to increase the respect of fans and directors. He's never made himself into a public spectacle. And while I don't think he's as talented as some of his peers, he is a solid actor who always manages to deliver.
Let me know if you see it, because I'm out of town until Tuesday and won't get around to it.
