...and i'm not talking about the Sam Jackson flick. It appears that theres going to be a big budget movie based on the life of "Irish" Mickey Ward, and it appears he'll be played by Mark Walhberg.

Every time I hear Matt Damon I start to laugh because of the Movie

Team America World Police. his only lines where "Matt Damon" and at the credits like 15 people do his voice it's hilarious.

I think it will not do well in the box office. Not so many know Mickey Ward. They will not be interested with it unless the movie is really fictionalized.
