I’m no fan of Hollywood types trying to give their expert opinion. Most of them are uneducated and live in a sphere of influence that is tainted.

The thing that really annoys me about it is that it is bad for business. If they would shut up, they would end up making more money. In the end they complain about “free speech” because the people buying tickets boycott them.

With all that said, I don’t think he’s an idiot. Didn’t he write Good Will Hunting? Think what you may about actors, but I think constructing a plot, writing it, and having it appeal to people takes brains.

It’s possible to be good at some things without being good at everything. I’m reasonably well educated, but when it comes to poetry, I’m an absolute moron. Hence, I don’t discuss poetry. Hint to Mr. Damon.

At the extreme end, is the idiot-savant. Not saying Damon is one... but I’m not saying he’s not.

It takes a skill, but I’m not thinking critical thinking is the particular skill it takes.

To quote a reliable source, "William Goldman has denied widely-spread rumors that he wrote Good Will Hunting or acted as a script doctor"

ACTORS or WRITERS not only live in a sphere of influence that is tainted, but hold themselves so elite compared to the rest of us as to feel the unending need to advise us on our voting selections. Despite the fact that many times they barely scraped by high school. I hold Whoopi and Sean Penn up as classic examples. Frankly, this superiority crap has gotten pretty damn old.

Based on the nonsensical diatribe above and his affiliation with our good pal Ben Affleck, I'm gonna have to stand by my noun. Idiot.
