Actor Matt Damon reveals why he chose to not to attend the inauguration of President Barack Obama, even after he campaigned to put him in office.

”[My wife] Luciana [Barroso] and I decided we wanted to go,” Damon tells the Miami Herald. “But when I called my contacts from the campaign, they just started laughing: ‘We worked on the campaign for two and a half years, and we’re not going. Forget it.’”

“But then they called me back the next day and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got two tickets for you, in the bleachers, and you’ll actually be able to see Obama take the oath. Just $25,000 apiece.’”

It was then that Damon, husband and father of three daughters, said he decided to watch the inauguration from his couch in Miami Beach.

Damon currently has an ‘Untitled Jason Bourne Project’ in the works for a 2010 release.

The Bourne Trilogy has been release on Blu-Ray:

Matt Damon has lashed out at Ian Fleming’s famous British spy, James Bond, currently portrayed by Daniel Craig.

The Bourne Identity actor - who plays CIA agent Jason Bourne in three hit films - said: “He’s repulsive. Bond is an imperialist, misogynist, sociopath who goes around bedding women and swilling martinis and killing people.

“The movies have a formula, they stick to it, and it makes them a lot of money. They know what they are doing and they’re going to keep doing it.”

Damon was due to play Eliot Ness - a US agent who is famous for his efforts to enforce prohibition in Chicago during the 20s - in new film Torso, but the movie has fallen victim to the current economic climate.

It was due to be directed by David Fincher - whose latest movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button received 13 Oscar nominations - but Paramount Pictures pulled the plug on the project, fearing it could cost more than £120 million to make.

A source said: “Paramount are still keen to make Torso but don’t want it to be an expensive risk so are looking at ways to bring it in for less money. If they can’t make their sums work, other Hollywood studios may well step in.”

Matt Damon gave an interview to his local Miami Herald speaking out against, among other things, Bill Kristol, torture and James Bond. Damon has done his research, having played Jason Bourne in the “Bourne” trilogy and starring in two CIA movies, “The Good Shepherd” and “Syriana.”

On Kristol and torture:

“The small talk — if that’s the right phrase — ranged from which New York Times columnist is the worst (conservative William Kristol, according to Damon: ”He’s an idiot — he wrote that we should be grateful to George Bush because he won the Iraq war. We! Won! The! War!”) to the proper place of torture in American foreign policy.

”Look, the best line about torture I’ve heard came from [retired CIA officer turned war-on-terrorism critic] Milt Beardon,” Damon says. “He said, `If a guy knows where a dirty bomb is hidden that’s going to go off in a Marriott, put me in a room with him and I’ll find out. But don’t codify that. Just let me break the law.’

He also said what he thinks of James Bond:

”They could never make a James Bond movie like any of the Bourne films,” Damon says scornfully. “Because Bond is an imperialist, misogynist sociopath who goes around bedding women and swilling martinis and killing people. He’s repulsive.”

And he explained why he missed Obama’s inauguration after campaigning on his behalf:

”Luciana and I decided we wanted to go,” he admits. ‘But when I called my contacts from the campaign, they just started laughing: `We worked on the campaign for 2 ½ years, and we’re not going. Forget it.’ But then they called me back the next day and said, ‘Hey, we’ve got two tickets for you, in the bleachers, and you’ll actually be able to see Obama take the oath. Just $25,000 apiece.’ So I’m going to watch. From my couch.”

Not only did Damon campaign and fundraise for Obama, he was one of the most outspoken celebrities against Sarah Palin, calling her “like a really bad Disney movie” and “a really terrifying possibility.”

E! Online is having a voting to see who is the best. (Guess who I voted for?)

Two superspy guys. Two huge actors. So who’s got the edge—Matt Damon’s amnesiac all-American badass or Daniel Craig’s iconic 007? I spoke to both recently and asked Damon—he’s just signed on for Bourne IV—and Quantum of Solace star Craig their thoughts on the secret-agent showdown.

Universal is moving ahead with its fourth installment of “The Bourne Identity” franchise, setting George Nolfi to write the script. Nolfi was co-writer of the third film, which was based on a story by Tony Gilroy.

Though the series is based on the Robert Ludlum novels, the new film won’t be based on a Ludlum title, but rather an original story.

Director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon are attached to the new film.

By the way, just one more thing, me and I’m sure Matt, althought I don’t know him, appreciate a lot the support you give, but basically he won’t read what you write here for him. Is that ok?

Matt appeared today on gossip site Just Jared. It just a lil article and pics about his latest appearence in Japan for The Bourne Ultimatum promotion.

“Konnichiwa!

Matt Damon promotes his film The Bourne Ultimatum at The Ritz Carlton Tokyo on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan. The films opens on Thursday in Japan.

“I lived with roommates who owned guns, and I know how to use guns and trained a lot,� Damon told reporters of his gun experience. “It’s not something that I really want to bring into my house, personally.�

He also added that he’s definitely will do another Bourne film. “If Paul Greengrass maybe years down the road was interested in doing another one, then I would do it too,â€� he said. “I don’t think either of us has completely put the character to bed yet. I’m not quite ready to put the epitaph on the tombstone.â€�”

Me, as a nice person that I am, added the pictures to the gallery:

Washington, Oct 5 : Matt Damon decided to cut back the number of movies he was planning on making after wife Luciana Barroso threatened to walk out on him.The couple married in 2005 and have a 16-month-old daughter Isabella. They are also parents to Barroso’s daughter Alexia.

However, Damon’s hectic work schedule meant that he was hardly spending any time at home, and he admits that his wife had finally had enough.

“(Luciana asked me) to take a break from work. She saw a pile of scripts, and when I told her they were the movies I was supposed to shoot in the fall, she asked me if I still wanted to be her husband,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

Damon recently signed up to star alongside Sean Penn in a biopic on gay 1970s San Francisco politician Harvey Milk.

Penn will be playing Milk while Damon plays his assassin Dan White in the Gus Van Sant directed pic. (With inputs from ANI)

I found the possible covers for the DVD of The Bourne Ultimatum. They look really good.

The DVD features seem to be wicked too!

Matt was sspotted last weekend supporting his nephew at a football game in Pembroke Pines (I think that’s the name).

I’ve added pictures of the Ocean’s triology movies and The Bourne Ultimatum to the gallery:
