2017 is the year that Matt Damon, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lawrence had terrible years at the box office and Meryl Streep's approval rating dropped to 32%.

Winning!

[Jim W N]

That guy took a hard Left and slammed head-on into the delusion of the Lying left.

[tumblindice]

Matt Damon! He's watching his sister pee.

[Da Coyote]

Silly little movie star.
Pretended that he actually had a brain rather than a mere script interpretation algorithm.

I wouldn’t pay a cent to see this POS’s movies. Hope there are many more like me.

[4yearlurker]

Hollywood and the like offer NOTHING I want or would consider paying for. I’ll curl up with a good book as always.

[Joe 6-pack]

Damn Nazis killed the wrong Private Ryan.

Could be that most of these actors are already known quantities and
don’t excite a large number of moviegoers anymore.
Time to cultivate some newer stars.

Jennifer Lawrence just chose a script that was bad for her.
Most people were made uncomfortable by the movie ‘Mother!’.
She played a frightened confused Hausfrau; against type. That novelty was offset by the bizarre storyline and visuals.

The fact that Jen seems to enjoy acting vulgar or #NeverTrumpish on talk shows is not helping her either.

Ha ha!

—I despise Matt Damon but to my surprise, agree wholeheartedly with him that there is a difference between “a pat on the butt and child molestation”—

[Seruzawa]

Stupid actors. Just shut up and act professionally.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I wouldn’t pay a cent to see this POS’s movies.

The Bourne movies are good though. I have Google Play and they are all on my list.

[tennmountainman]

This article does not even mention Damon’s enabling and defense
of Weinstein.

[Gay State Conservative]

He was a zilch in Private Ryan...ditto in Good Will Hunting.I don’t know if women find him cute but I can’t think of any other reason why he makes so much $$$.

[Cowboy Bob]

He will reprise his Linus Caldwell character in the “Ocean’s 8” spinoff starring Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, and Rihanna.

Sounds awful

[dynachrome]

His only good role was in “Team America”

[Hardastarboard]

the movie ‘Mother!’

I heard that movie sucked on an intergalactic scale. I heard it was so bad that astrophysicists are working to come up with a new term to describe something bigger than intergalactic.

[newfreep]

My immediate thought, too...guaranteed to be a massive failure.
