  • Don May’s posted some nice comments about Vulgarthon and his experiences there at his Synapse Films website, which you can read HERE. Don’s working on the finishing touches for the “A Better Place” DVD as we speak.
  • The New York Times posted an article on that Affleck/Damon “Project Greenlight”. The big news here is about the website itself that’s surrounding the event.
  • Speaking of those guys, they’re donating a fiberglass cod (yeah, you read it right) for an auction benefiting some local Boston charities. Here’s details:
Affleck, Damon Design Benefit’s Cod

BOSTON (AP) – Looking to reel in a good catch?

Check with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who designed one of the fiberglass cod sculptures being auctioned to benefit charity.

The fish, titled “Good Cod Hunting,” is painted black and has a mathematical equation drawn on one side and the answer on the other. Its tail is signed by the actors.

The fish’s design is derived from the film “Good Will Hunting,” in which Damon plays a janitor who solves a nearly impossible mathematical equation on a blackboard at the college where he works. Affleck played a friend of Damon’s character in the movie.

The actors designed the fish with the help of Boston artist Nicholas Doriss.

The auction will be Dec. 8 at the Massachusetts College of Art. A silent online auction – at www.cavalcadeofcod.com – began Nov. 16 and ends Dec. 6.

Sales from the auction are to benefit several charities including, the Boston Public Library Foundation and the American Cancer Society (news – web sites).
