I won’t pay money to see him either, but I do like a number of his movies that I’ve seen on TV. I enjoyed the first couple of Bourne movies, his character in the Ocean movies, “Good Will Hunting”, “The Martian” and one of the best movies I’ve seen in the last 10 years: “The Departed”.

2017 is the year that Matt Damon, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lawrence had terrible years at the box office

Jennifer Lawrence needs to release more pics that feature her fabulous butthole.

I think these “big name” stars underestimate the damage they do to their careers with their political talk.

I don’t have cable and haven’t been in a movie theater for nearly two decades. But I am assembling a nice tv/home theater room for watching DVDs that I purchase. People always tell me to watch this movie with Matt Damon, that with Streep or the other with Jennifer Lawrence or whoever. I don’t know their acting, but am aware of their political bilge spewing...so I pass their product right by.

I suppose their regular audience likes their work and overlooks their political commentary. But they are closing the door on new customers by turning them off before they set foot inside the office (so to speak). I might have contributed to their marketability in terms of post-theater revenue, but they chased me away. I wonder how many others feel the same.

Movies make more overseas than domestic these days, so they figure they can write-off the American audiences.

yes, he had some good movies. The Bourne series, Departed, etc. But going forward I give him nothing. I find it hard to separate him from his characters now.

Bourne movies and their ilk bore me to tears. What’s the point of staging a highly choreographed fight scene when there’s absolutely no chance the hero will lose the fight? Even up against a whole embassy staff of US Marines? There’s simply no dramatic tension whatsoever.
