So, How Much Has Been Spent Saving Matt Damon?
by Steve West on January 25, 2022

I calculated the amount of money spent, based on movie budgets, in saving Matt Damon. I only went to 2015 because I got tired. But up to then, here's the money that's been spent.
Movie Budgets
Courage Under Fire: $46M
Saving Private Ryan: $70M
Titan AE: $75M
Syriana: $50M
Green Zone: $100M
Elysium: $115M
Interstellar: 165M
The Martian: $108M
Total: $729M
That seems surprisingly low. We're talking about Matt Damon!

Stuff Happening
Brenda and I have placed a bid on a little house in Bowie about a mile from where we currently reside. It keeps the children in the same school district and keeps us in the little town we've grown to love. Closing is set for a month from now on Friday of Labor day weekend so it gives us three days to move furniture and settle in. Go »

That's Entertainment
Recently, we held the Annual Empoyees Event for the credit union for which I work. Each year along with the State of the Credit Union speeches and various awards given, there is an entertainment portion. Last year was karaoke and dancing, the year before was a fashion dos and don'ts demonstration. Go »

I think you valued yourself at $5 million or so in a previous blog post, so this seems to be about on scale. One of the two of you is a national treasure after all!
