I never said it was the best movie ever made or anything but I enjoyed it enough to watch it several times and part of it really got to me so I'm going to stand by my assertion that it's not terrible. It's OK though - we all don't have to like the same things you know. Also, I fucking love Matt Damon.
Those parts are both great, yeah.

I think my fave part was when, after GWH leaves, Casey slides into shotgun like he's moved up a peg. Just a great look of satisfaction on his face.
But a lot of he scenes with Williams are hamhanded as a man with bacon gloves.

Robin Williams wore these to the Oscars:

I liked Williams in GWH

god when Williams smiles in that cardigan it's the creepiest thing ever

Imagine if the soundtrack to GWH was all Train songs instead of Elliott Smith songs.

It was an alright movie when you consider the whole thing was basically written around one good scene, that is, the apples scene.

bourne series is just as corny, but deficient in apples, too.is it because the romantic lead is run lola run? what if they swapped?

bourne is majestic 4 all time

Yes.

I still get a kick out of the scene in Switzerland where the two cops are hassling him, and after he grabs the first cops baton, there's this one-beat moment of "Holy Shit, its not just that I can tie all kinds of knots and speak tons of languages, I'm also a badass who can dismantle people" realization that they caught really well.

I liked the car chase through that French tunnel in whichever Bourne movie it was. I've blended them all into 1 big awesome Matt Damon extravaganza in my mind.

how u like them tracksuits

I know it's not Damon but since we're on GWH the Casey scene in the house with the baseball mitt and 'Keep antagonising me, watch what happens' is the best.

I'm coming up with quite a list now that I'm thinking about it. And I like when Minnie Driver tells the joke about the grandma with no teeth.

wrt to the talented mister ripley and damon playing those kinds of characters, isnt the all american beefcake as secret sociopath the hod-dude version of the laura palmer cliché tho?

It would be cool if Ben Affleck just wore tracksuits in every movie he is in from now on. He wore a multitude of them in the Town too.

in ripley/informant he's supposed to be a nerd i thought, and is appropriately scrawny in one/chubby in the other.

Dude, that's the second time you've mentioned that. You've got to provide a screencap or actor's name next time.
Though with the holidays wrapping up, I'm already getting a pretty good idea of what a fat Pleasant Plains looks like.

just imagine yourself, fatter, with a south african accent
lol Max but maybe PP doesn't really want to picture that, is what he's saying

"Oh yeah? Imagine YOURself fatter with a South African accent, jerk" lol
There used to be a rumor that William Goldman secretly wrote Good Will Hunting, but here's an even better story that's on the record: Terrence Malick suggested its ending. Matt Damon revealed that after he finagled a meeting with the reclusive Malick to discuss the script, the director suggested a change to the story's romantic happy ending, which found Damon and Minnie Driver leaving town together. "In the middle of the dinner, he said, 'I think it would be better if she left and he went after her.' And Ben [Affleck] and I looked at each other. It was one of those things where you go, 'Of course that's better.'" At least, it was a better note than Gus Van Sant's original insistence that Affleck's character should be killed: "Gus came down and said 'I want to do a draft where Chucky, Ben's character, dies on the construction site.' And Ben and I were just mortified. 'What are you talking about?' 'I want him to get crushed like a bug.' We said 'Gus what are you talking about? You cant just fucking smush Ben. That's a terrible idea.'" [Taking Barack to the Movies via MCN]

CASEY AFFLECK (V.O.): Where is it that we were together? Who were you that I lived with? The brother. The friend. Darkness, light. Strife and love. Are they the workings of one mind? The features of the same face? Oh, my soul. Let me be in you now. Look out through my eyes. Look out at the things you made. All things shining. And let's get off mothers. 'Cause I just got off yours.
