		<description>Another good source of wacky fighting over who &quot;really wrote&quot; the film -- http://ow.ly/Wbz8.  

An excerpt:

&quot;So you see the Zinn/Chomsky/Celeb left embracing ‘truther-ism’ around the fetishism of the lower classes, hatred of the banker class, and the justification of the WTC being a righteous target given its immense symbolism in the western economy and culture. When Damon attacked Bill Kristol — and I offered him $100k to debate him — one could see Damon channeling Zinn again. Zinn, Chomsky &amp; Soros all represent a bizarre power axis of Israel bashing and Jewish self-loathing that is eerily represented in the cocky-in-their-lack-of-education Zinn-promoting Hollywood left. Glad there’s finally a place we can call out this crap.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;...it’s easier being a movie star and making all that money than going in your pit and writing a script.&quot;  I like that line.  I think that sums up my personal theory as to why we haven&#039;t heard much from them since.</description>

		<description>I just came across the following quote on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119217/trivia##tr0776677&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;IMDb&lt;/a&gt;... Goldman explaining that he didn&#039;t write the film, and that if he did, he wouldn&#039;t have written the &quot;It&#039;s not your fault&quot; scene.

&quot;I would love to say that I wrote it. Here is the truth. In my obit it will say that I wrote it. People don&#039;t want to think those two cute guys wrote it. What happened was, they had the script. It was their script. They gave it to Rob [Reiner] to read, and there was a great deal of stuff in the script dealing with the F.B.I. trying to use Matt Damon for spy work because he was so brilliant in math. Rob said, &#039;Get rid of it.&#039; They then sent them in to see me for a day - I met with them in New York - and all I said to them was, &#039;Rob&#039;s right. Get rid of the F.B.I. stuff. Go with the family, go with Boston, go with all that wonderful stuff.&#039; And they did. I think people refuse to admit it because their careers have been so far from writing, and I think it&#039;s too bad. I&#039;ll tell you who wrote a marvelous script once, Sylvester Stallone. Rocky&#039;s a marvelous script. God, read it, it&#039;s wonderful. It&#039;s just got marvelous stuff. And then he stopped suddenly because it&#039;s easier being a movie star and making all that money than going in your pit and writing a script. But I did not write [Good Will Hunting], alas. I would not have written the &#039;It&#039;s not your fault&#039; scene. I&#039;m going to assume that 148 percent of the people in this room have seen a therapist. I certainly have, for a long time. Hollywood always has this idea that it&#039;s this shrink with only one patient. I mean, that scene with Robin Williams gushing and Matt Damon and they&#039;re hugging, &#039;It&#039;s not your fault, it&#039;s not your fault.&#039; I thought, Oh God, Freud is so agonized over this scene. But Hollywood tends to do that with therapists.&quot;</description>

		<description>I have wondered this same thing: who really wrote it. I do believe it could have been them. Sometimes the first story &#039;out of the gate&#039; is the one you&#039;ve ruminated on all your life. I like to think that. But it also quite possible that uncredited writers were behind rewrites. I think we could find out by checking records at the Writers Guild/L.A. They determine who gets paid what and who gets credited based on what proportion of the script they wrote. But I adore this film and I am just happy it exists.</description>
