Damonic Possession?

There's an interesting production on in NY called "Matt and Ben" that looks like a good send-up of Damon and Affleck, the current icons (Leonardo DiCaprio aside) of pretty-boy American stardom. Here is Bruce Weber's review in the Times: Bad Will Hunting, Armed With Venom Darts. I have to agree with Weber that I do regard Damon at least a bit more kindly than I do Affleck: Damon is far less of a media whore, and I have to respect his willingness to tackle indie projects that aren't just exercise in glory-hunting or self-important "Aren't I cutting edge" posturing. After all, did anyone see Gerry?
