Salivating over Private Ryan, or “Rounders”

06-matt-damon-surfing.jpgI had intended to take a PEN15 hiatus during the month of June, thanks to a combination work/travel clusterfuck, but this picture of Matt Damon surfing wrenched me out of my blogger coma.

Damon is a terrific actor, and I value his thoughtful and topical contributions to cinema (even if he’s starring in not one but two “part threes” this summer), but it needs to be said: The man’s ass alone deserves $10 million a picture. No wonder he’s surfing. That thing probably controls the tides.

Leave it to one of Hollywood’s few really obviously straight leading men to be packing that kind of junk in his trunk. If anyone cares, Ben Affleck is also featured in the linked photo set.

That’s probably all till July, but please email!
