this kind of makes me want to watch some of these movies despite my long-lived and passionate (and arguably somewhat gay itself??) hatred of boston. it's incredible. i really really liked the colin sullivan rant which made me feel like i'd watched a movie trailer and understood the movie completely without actually understanding the movie at all immediately followed by gay krill. i also really liked the line "thrillingly foppish bisexual air," which is the air that i aim to have. i think my dad would have sent me this article had he found it in the wild, so i'm going to send it to him in exchange. i will report back
my friend sent me this link asking if i had written it so hi, kindred spirit. superb work throughout, particularly on the departed, but i have to let you know you're, like, factually incorrect about bourne. if you'll recall, he doesn't kiss marie until after he gives her that butchy little haircut, right? ftm coded. and then she kisses him so lightly and it takes him like ten seconds to actually kiss her back? repressed. and we can't forget in the bourne ultimatum when he suddenly decides he would do anything to protect that guardian reporter with the messenger bag? i was liveblogging the movie on first watch and i posted "aww is jason bourne gonna have a little boyfriend in this one" only to watch said little boyfriend get shot in the head moments later. i hope you'll consider this evidence. thank you for your service.
I am a Matt Damon fan and a Patricia Highsmith fan, so I absolutely love his performance as Tom Ripley in Minghela's "The Talented...". I agree with you that it is a great work and, as a gay man, I appreciate his getting into the role with such great sensitivity. I can't help but compare it to the new film with Andrew Scott, which is not bad at all, but leaves Matt's one of the greatest of all times. Thanks for your thorough ranking of gayness in Matt's roles.

If I was a Matt Damon character where would I be on this list
my immediate feeling is that you are approximately Ford v Ferrari levels of gay
