If it wasn't for Matt Damon's involvement I would not have even taken the time to read this article so in my books Informant is already one to watch.

Mike O'Malley was the bomb on Guts. All hail the Agro Crag.

I may be an old bag, but that guy on the soup can't compare to the old soup hosts like Jim Henson and Greg Kinnear. I don't think he's funny at all, he just has a lot of canned laughter after anything he says.

Joel McHale rocks and no that's not canned laughter. It's real.

Count me in.

Jim Henson was on Talk Soup?! I'm sure that must have been a gas...
John, my friend... The word we were going for was John... But thanks for playing!
And no, that is not canned laughter. It is genuine. And I find McHale incredibly funny, right up there with Kinnear, Sparks and Tyler, and I guess Henson (not my favorite).

yeah your right.. matt damon is really one of hollywood's best. he hasn't reached this HIGH star quality if it werent for the bourne series(supremacy and ultimatum really did it), oceans series and the departed.. because of these films. matt damon is one of the most wanted in hollywood

Haha, Jim Henson on Talk Soup.

This sounds like an interesting project...Scott Bakula is an interesting choice...um okay.

I've lost all faith in Soderbergh, but not in Damon. This could be one to see.

and yeah, looking at steve's filmogrpahy since cranking out the amazing 'traffic' and 'erin Brok' in the same year, he's made some really questionable choices (as well as three ocean's films, one was fine thanks) and nothing that really stands out as being more than "meh."

Hey, isn't Melanie Lynskey the other girl from Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures? The one that wasn't Kate Winslet? She was terrific in that. (According to IMDB, it looks like she's been doing mostly TV work lately.) Good to see she's getting back up on the big screen.

I could care less for Soderbergh. Damon's not bad, and I like Bakula but I don't have much faith in this being any good.
