Self-righteous anger

After seeing Matt Damon yukking it up in grisly promos for Project Greenlight, it was odd, yet not terribly surprising, to see him rear up on his Hollywood high horse during tonight's third-season debut. With two cinematic strikes against it, the floundering experiment in power-to-the-peeps filmmaking finds itself banished from the promised land of HBO and, more distressing to Mr. Damon, locked in a deal with the devil (and Wes Craven) to make a "marketable" HORROR movie via Miramax's gutter-dwelling kin at Dimension Films:

- "To stumble back into the Greenlight family and see THIS is where it had landed was shocking for me -- and infuriating!!!"

- "Do you believe in Feast because you can make it for a price and you can flip it for a bigger price? Or do you believe in Feast because you really think it's the best movie? ... You're sitting two seats away from the Master of Horror who's telling you it SUCKS!!!"
