    I saw Matt Damon's fattening photos in Taotao Linlin's photo album that day, and I always felt familiar. I didn't see it until I shaved off the beard at the end. I just remembered the handsome brother in Bourne. The last 11 million, like the end of that first-level...

    2010-08-25 read. A high-level liar, a light comedy about business, the protagonist narrates throughout, as if he is the real writer and director. Matt Damon's past series of high-IQ (and often high-attraction) characters overlap in this film -- so while you know he's a liar, you're always hoping he'll get away with it. :-P

The Informant! quotes

  • Mark Whitacre: I read this study in Time magazine when I was at Cornell, which is an Ivy League school, and there were people, including my mother, who never believed I would make it into an Ivy League school. Maybe Ginger, who I met in marching in the eighth grade. And the study said people had nice, sympathetic feelings about people who were adopted, and treated them better. So I made up this adoption story, and people *did* treat me better. And when I got a job, one of my professors told people at Ralston Purina that I was this amazing guy that had accomplished all this in spite of being adopted. And so it was really *other* people who spread the story, not me. Although I admit it was wrong to start it and everything, it was other people who kept it going, even the people at ADM.

  • Mark Whitacre: Mark Whitacre, secret agent 0014.

    Rusty Williams: Why 0014?

    Mark Whitacre: Cause I'm twice as smart as 007.
