I was quite impressed with Matt Damon, because this role was a bit farther from his usual than I've seen before.
I think so, too.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Matt Damon is surprisingly good at his job. Have you seen his Matthew McConaughey impression?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Though I suppose he IS an actor, and doing stuff like that is Acting! and therefore what he's paid to do.
I read how he actually worked that out. He had them apply something (like a bandage or some kind of device/makeup) to his tongue. He figured it was the only way he was going to be consistent with it.

Oh, I didn't mean I thought he was Acting! with the tongue thing; I assumed there was something physical in his mouth for those scenes.
I just meant dealing with that AND the extremely precise formal language.

That is awesome! [I tried to craft a reply without contractions, and I just sounded like I was from a different planet, trying to parse English. So I will not do that.]
[See what I did there?]

Because books.
On Letterman, Damon said he used one of his daughters' hair bands and wound it around his tongue. And he did it right there on stage with Letterman, too . Very cute.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I really didn't think she was as evil and overbearing as I'd expected from her cultural reputation.
