David's Weekend Wandering

So David McMahon is now asking weekly questions. I've missed all of them up to now, but as I need inspirado, I'll answer the call. The call being his question. He didn't actually call me. He doesn't know my number. He calls it "Weekend Wandering." I thought it should be Wondering. But I'm not David. I'm more like a much shorter Goliath. With better table manners. And not biblical. Yet.

And the question is: Hollywood's knocking on your door, to offer you top billing in a studio blockbuster, alongside any movie star of your choice. Whom do you choose?

Wow, what a question for a pop culture junkie like myself. In the not too distant past, I'd probably have said Harrison Ford. The man is Indiana Jones and Han Solo for crying out loud. Not to mention playing Jack Ryan on screen more than any other actor. But alas, that ship has probably sailed, and since the question doesn't actually say what kind of blockbuster it is, I'll have to go another route, and pick who is probably my current favorite actor:

Matt Damon.

Oh yes, I'd make people forget all about that Affleck (AFLAC!) guy. Matt and Ben, nay, Matt and Bart. I'd be the Hutch to his Starsky. The Cash to his Tango. The Hooch to his Turner...no, wait, that's not very flattering.

Well, that was fun. While I have you, and while we're talking about stuff David is doing...

David is also going out of his way to help out fledgling writers with an ongoing series of postings entitled "Telling Write From Wrong." That man never met a homonym he didn't like. Anyway, ask him questions about writing, and he'll give you advice. Simple enough. And he's not doing it as a shameless ploy like I would be, so that's a plus on his side. Go have a looksie.
