We Bought a Zoo

It's not a horrible movie, but it had most of the excesses of a Cameron Crowe movie with little of the charm. Scar Jo was rather good, better than Damon in fact. The little kid was just too precious.

The best Damon movie? Are you kidding? Nowhere near it. The Departed and Good Will Hunting are far better.

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Blech. Not Damon's fault at all but still, blech. Also, it had the dread Scarlet Johanssen - always the sign of a terrible movie.

The Talented Mr. Ripley and the first Bourne movie are probably Damon's best.

I've really liked him in some of his weirder roles (The Informant!, the Liberace pic), but most people don't share that opinion.

The one with Julia Stiles.

It was better than I thought it would, be though his kids were uber annoying. But it may have been because it was two of my flights within a couple days of each other?

I pray Damon does not come back of the 5th Bourne movie with Renner. He has a perfect trilogy. Don't jump into the shitfest of this new sequel.

R7 he doesn't really have a lot of choice. His career has gone cold, to some degree due to this crappy movie.

And the terrible tracking movie he did. I tried to watch it twice, but could not get into it even though the topic was important and it had good actors.

That movie he did with Jodie Foster last year was complete shit. Copley overacted, Jodie was trying to do some weird and distracting French/British/Scandinavian accent to come off as upper class, and the script was messy, along with pacing. A lot of that was where a director should have corrected.

He needs to sit down and figure out where he is going with his career. He can't fall back on directing like Ben has. Plus, Ben is playing Batman, which at least one good things is that they bought in someone to fix the script. Snyder needs a strong script to go with his visuals and he usually does not have it.

"And the terrible tracking movie he did"

Which one?

fracking

I puked all the way through it. Horrible, horrible waste of time.

And he looked so fat and unhealthy.

My goodness, R12. I hope you went to the emergency room afterward.

He's got a problem. A few years ago he got all the choice roles for actors his age. Now he's competing (for the few good roles) with Affleck, McConaughey, Phoenix, Bale, Cooper, Di Caprio, etc. They're all between 38-44. He's not getting the pick of roles which explains fracking movie, horrible pic with Foster, and Zoo. Monuments Men was a disaster too.

His next movies are with Chris Nolan and Ridley Scott. He's doing just fine.

We bought a zoo, too!

I want Matt Damon to be my daddy.

We bought a zoo!

I read the book, though have not seen the movie. One fact I recall was that the father mentions that the family dog is gay, and they intend to find him a boyfriend.

I was a fan of Cameron Crowe until I watched Elizabethtown. The movie makes no sense and Orlando Bloom is totally unconvincing as a human. I had no idea he was such a shitty actor. I guess i assumed he was decent because he was in LOTR.

R18 Damon only has an uncredited cameo in Interstellar, possibly playing a robot. He doesn't have any other projects.

[quote]Although reluctant at first, Mee decides to buy the zoo when he sees Rosie happily playing with the peacocks. Dylan, however, hates the idea of moving away from his friends and retreats into his artwork which has grown more macabre since the death of his mother. Benjamin's brother, Duncan (Thomas Haden Church), tries to dissuade him from the purchase, but Benjamin buys it anyway. The zoo staff, led by the 28-year old head keeper, Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson), help to start renovating the zoo with the intent to reopen it to the public. When Kelly confronts Benjamin about why he bought a zoo, knowing nothing about running one, Benjamin simply responds "Why not?".

We bought a zoo!

Yes We Did!

What did you buy, precisely?

Look at OP's picture. Damn, Matt has a chunky ass

We bought a zoo!

And I like blue!

Matt and Scarlett were both chunky.

I'm still not understanding what was acquired.

We bought a zoo!

Did we, R34?

I preferred the Danish porn takeoff, "We Boffed a Zoo."

What did Matt Damon buy and when did he buy it?

We bought a zoo!

There was one honest moment, when Matt had to put down one of the animals.

That was a great moment, R39. The guy from Sideways was also good as Damon's brother.

I bet the zebras were jealous of Damon's ass.

Why would zebras be jealous of Damon's ass?

Matt and ScarJo on set

Go back to kindergarten, R41 .

For R42 :

Sorry

And here:

Why, because of the wild ass reference, R46/R47?

OK, R48 , so my attempt at humor went down like a lead balloon.

I can't win every time.

Shut-ins think I'm really quite witty. You win.

Satisfied?

Please explain it, R49. It went over my (admittedly simple-minded) head.

Thanks, R50 . You didn't have to be so obliging.

You sound like a very nice person. What the hell are you doing on DL?

Just kidding. We need a token nice person.

I only meant that being a zoo, and considering all of the threads about Damon's juicy, woman-like ass/buttocks, that any zebra/ equine animal would be jealous of his "ass" (figurative and literal).

Obviously, the joke loses its humor when one has to explain it. I failed.

No worries.

Just enjoy the other posts.

You must be a mensch/good guy.

Only figuratively, actually, R50 . My bad.

B51, does he really have a "woman-like ass/buttocks"?

One more thing:

We bought a zoo!

He was fabulous in the Liberace movie. Surprisingly good.

No Fear, r51!

We Bought a Zoo!

You bought a bad bill of zoods.

Guess what we did!

[quote]He was fabulous in the Liberace movie.

But not as fabulous as in this movie. In the Liberace movie, "Sincerely Yours", he only worked with animals but he did not own a zoo.

Rob Lowe was also excellent in that.

Hey, Damon Troll. Have you heard DiCrapio has been dissing your beloved?

We Bought a Zoo!

we have purchased a live menagerie!!!

What did DiCaprio say, R62?

Was it made of glass, R65?

The lion should totally have been nominated.

Look at how his ass raises his t-shirt.

Hell, we didn't even make it through escrow.

A zoo was bought.

So what did Leo say about Matt?

Nous avons acheté un zoo!

Wir haben einen Tiergarten gekauft!

Do you think Matthas to have his trousers and jeans custom made or specially tailored?

"Matt has"

A zoo, we bought.

Webought … a … zoo.

An evil petting zoo?

Is Damon's ass actually a "woman-like ass/buttocks"?

It was a competition between his and Scarlett's. Yes.

We Bought a Zoo! Too: We Bought an Aquarium!

"It was a competition between his and Scarlett's. Yes."

Who won, i.e., who got the zoo?

We bought a zoophile!

Should Matt Damon be in a zoo and be displayed?

R62 - Matt

I read on this thread that zoos may cease to exist in 25 years. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!

We bought a zoo!

Do you think Crowe was embarrassed with this one?

yes, R89. He almost bought the farm over it.

A zoo is on layaway.

The zoo is being foreclosed.

Did any lucky DL'er win the "We bought a zoo!" adult t-shirt and tote bag?!

R93, the Bundy/Ledger/Damon Troll did.

We bought a zoo!

Zoo bump.

Camp-Heterosexual Colin Ford is the only remarkable thing in this movie.

It took me a while to understand the joke at R41.

Currently on FXM. I've never seen it. Despite the hype.

I should have watched this before I bought a zoo.

I liked the one with the insurance and Danny DeVito...

I hate zoos. Especially the hippopotamuses

I was in the Budapest Zoo when a hippopotamus let his bladder loose. He peed all over another hippopotamus, who was not phased in the least and didn't move - AND, it was like a fire hose for what seemed like 5 full minutes, at least. I kid you not. It was just before camera phones became common or I'd have taken a photo, or many photos.

.....

Stank movie made by limo liberal.

I've grown to feel bad for sexy actresses, as their shelf life isn't really that long. What, maybe 10 years? Is Scarlet any good as an actress? (Aside from a sex object, I mean?)

Matt has since done very well. He carried the Mars movie almost entirely by himself.

We bought a zoo!

I wonder what that girl looks like now.

Zoo!

No one pointed out that this starred gayling Colin Ford?

Colin thinking of the womanly ass~

Whose womanly ass, R111? ScarJo's?

The We Bought A Zoo! girl:

Isnt Colin Ford Going out with a Due named Jasper

We bought a due!

Is Colin still with Jasper

R103 is making me horny as hell. Any more stories?

Who is Jasper?
