Alight, fiiiiiiine. I'll go see it. But I do not condone hot people suddenly becoming fat and dumpy like that. Looks like someone's gonna have to fill the now empty account at the spank bank.

Holy crap, I had no idea this was a comedy when I read the synopsis. Man, I am excited.

Yes, Jeremy because fat is eternal. He will now look like this FOREVER.

Ah, I get it -- it's a comedy version of "The Insider".

Cute. Quaint. Darling. Let me know when it comes out so I can wait for it on DVD.

This was based on a book, wasn't it? I think I read it...it was strangely fascinating. But it wasn't a comedy.

I live close to ADM and they filmed some scenes here last year. When I heard Matt Damon was in town I got all giddy, then I saw that it was fat Matt Damon and suddenly didn't care.

I wonder....If you push on his tummy, would he giggle like the Pillsbury Dough Boy?

Patton Oswalt? With Matt Damon? And The Bakula?

Did I black out, during which time all the weird things that live in my brain escape into a screenplay?

I look forward to seeing Matt Damon be funny.

I am also glad that Scott Bakula got some work. He does not deserve what Star Trek: Enterprise did to his career.

Jesopus, Matt Damon is even cute when he's a chuberific dork. He's just so likable.

You did not say McHale was in it too. I will watch it, but you are fired.

Now, clean out your desk and leave the premises, please.

It's official: Matt Damon is now my ugly twin sister.

Posted by: annoyingmouse at July 1, 2009 12:05 PM

Oh I know, I know, twig, stars go from fat to thin in about as much time as it takes me to vaccuum the house. But you gotta admit, it's weird to see him go from Jason Bourne to the guy who wears blacks socks with sandals.

I thought that was Andy Richter at first. I saw a pic a while ago of a tubby Matt Damon..I'm glad it was for a role as for soon he will be back to his hotness.

Also forgot to mention Clancy Brown goodness.

When did Pajiba turn into Entertainment Tonight?

No one has said it yet? Fatt Damon!!

No?

That's what I do when hubby accidentally pokes my tummy.

Dustin - so I should be planning a trip up to Portland to see this then? I don't want to lose my seat. How do you feel about the eating of popcorn during a movie--or are you less of a freak (in this case) than TK about such things? Also, how do you feel about the occasional (ok, frequent) shaking of a box of Nerds as those tasty, tangy nuggets of deliciousness are coaxed out of their home?

Wait, are you giving up my seat?! Hey, that's not fair! I haven't even mentioned some of my other annoying movie-watching habits. In my defense, I've gotten much better about hitting/grabbing the person next to me during scenes that are really scary, embarrassing, funny, exciting, etc.!

You're all superficial whores! You know you'd still do The D.

Love it! About time somebody made a comedy about the agriculture industry. It's almost as bad as the pharmasutical one.

That trailer put a big grin on my face. It's altogether different than the murderous scowl that usually accompanies watching a trailer. I guess there's no one to threaten or wish an anus-dripping STD on in this thread. Hm. Now I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad...

Sorry, but I'm allergic to Soderbergh.

Why why WHY does that man need to filter everything through a curtain of pee and blurryness? look at all the lights! all blurry and overly bright! I can't stand that shit.

Posted by: figgy at July 1, 2009 1:36 PM

Does anyone else find it irritating when the movie advertises itself as " x actor IS ____"? Matt Damon is not the Informant, he's playing him, and I find it distracting when going to view the film that he's been advertised as such.

pet-peeve aside, this looks promising.

I always get a warm, fuzzy feeling whenever I happen to see Buster Bluth getting more work.

Yay for AD!

JOEL MCHALE!

God I love him.

This looks good.

Do you know how freaky it is to be watching a preview (or movie) and realize they filmed it in your building?! My stupid building (where I work) has been in more freaking movies - Wanted, Batman Begins, this one apparently, not to mention the TV shows. Apparently it just screams nondescript office building or something.

Posted by: Chrissimas at July 1, 2009 11:13 PM

Woo to the hoo to the - fuck it - extra hoo! I am so jazzed about this. Can't wait to see Good Will Munching in a film with Tony Hale. Awesome.

Posted by: Caspar at July 2, 2009 7:48 AM

I think I'm more excited to see Patton Oswalt in this than a chunky Matt Damon.

Posted by: Brie at July 2, 2009 11:28 AM

They couldn't build a set for "non descript office building"? They had to interrupt a real one?

Posted by: John Darc at July 2, 2009 6:34 PM

Tubby?

Nah, I prefer a guy with enough heft so he'll put enough pressure on those ol' vaginal walls, if you catch my drift.

Man, does that really count as fat nowadays?

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at July 2, 2009 10:40 PM

So, will Sarah Silverman f*** fat Matt Damon?

Posted by: Brian at July 2, 2009 10:47 PM

Danny want movie now!

Posted by: Daniel Hall at July 5, 2009 1:46 AM

I see Tom Papa. I see fat Damon. God, this can't come soon enough.
