BOMB includes a quarterly print magazine, a daily online publication, and a digital archive of its previously published content from 1981 onward.Īnnually, BOMB serves 1.5 million online readers––44% of whom are under 30 years of age––through its free and searchable archive and BOMB Daily, a virtual hub where a diverse cohort of artists and writers explore the creative process within a community of their peers and mentors. Today, BOMB is a nonprofit, multi-platform publishing house that creates, disseminates, and preserves artist-generated content from interviews to artists’ essays to new literature.

Damon and Affleck star in the film together with Robin Williams and Minnie Driver, with Damon giving a first-rate performance in the title role of Will, an exceedingly bright and troubled guy from the wrong side of the tracks, the tracks in this case being Boston’s South Side.ĭamon and Affleck made their deal with Miramax contingent on their playing the roles they wrote, a bootstrap kind of move that should warm the hearts of writers and actors who suspect their own agents might be guilty of more snoozing than schmoozing.īOMB Magazine has been publishing conversations between artists of all disciplines since 1981.

Prior to this, Damon gave a haunting performance as Ilario, a conscience-racked soldier in last year’s Courage Under Fire, and Tommy Lee Jones directed him in The Good Old Boys for TNT. He stars as a crusading lawyer for Coppola in John Grisham’s upcoming The Rainmaker and he’s playing the title role of Spielberg’s World War II drama Saving Private Ryan, currently shooting in England. His few film roles have gone largely unheralded by the wider world, but he’s caught the eye of Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg. Matt Damon is not the kind of guy who needs any help.

and he was walking down the Infinite Corridor. “He was visiting a physicist we knew at M.I.T. “One of the scenes in Good Will Hunting is actually based on something that happened to my brother Kyle,” Damon told M.I.T.’s graduates. Somewhere in between his hometown memories, jokes, and motivational remarks, Damon shared the real-life incident that inspired Good Will Hunting’s most powerful visual-that of a minimum-wage janitor solving a near-impossible problem on a chalkboard that stymied the six-figure-paying grad students. And yes, there were plenty of jokes to be had at the expenses of Good Will Hunting (Damon read M.I.T.’s so-so review of the movie), Damon, and his childhood friend Ben Affleck-“brilliant guy, good guy, never really amounted to much.”
This time, though, the Oscar-winning screenwriter appeared in more esteemed capacity-delivering the 2016 commencement address to the school’s graduating students. floors in Good Will Hunting, Matt Damon returned to the Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus on Friday.
