Matt Damon reveals what it feels like to realize a movie is going to flop a month into filming.
Matt Damon: "Ultimately, the big decision is saying yes."
Ben Affleck: "That's the last point at which you have total control."
Matt Damon: "Right. And then you're in, whether it's good or bad. I've been on those movies where I knew a month into a six-month shoot that this is not going to work."
Ben Affleck: "What's that like?"
Matt Damon: "That is the fucking worst. It's going to be 80 16-hour days in a row, a post-production period that's going to be pretty fraught, and then it's going to come out and we're going to get fucking crushed."
Ben Affleck: "And then you're going to have to sell it. You're going to have to walk the fucking plank and sit down with Access like, 'So, saw the movie...'"
Matt Damon: "It's really terrible."
🚧 “The two midfielders [Rice and Anderson] are limited!”
😲 “I think [Rice] might be a centre half!”
Graeme Souness believes England’s midfield pairing are not as good as people make out…

@Raytrapani@javierdroide@allforthanookie Thats the feeling you very much get watching club football (i’m a Leeds United fan), especially in the flesh attending games, where as i guess I felt like a tourist (because I was)
@Raytrapani@javierdroide@allforthanookie I do find it a really interesting conversation, I love Sport, seen the Knicks and SF Giants live, have tried to watch the Super Bowl/NBA finals, even went to bars in NYC for the 2005 World Series against the White Sox, and have always found them a bit biring
@Raytrapani@javierdroide@allforthanookie What I will agree with is if football (soccer) was more ingrained in your society/culture than some of these athletes starting at 7/8/9 yrs old would then be able to be Rugby Players, and vice versa. And obviously USA’s massive population would than potentially dominate
@Raytrapani@javierdroide@allforthanookie I think that varies hugely on position, line man etc absolutely no chance what so ever, same with quarter backs & running backs. The ones with the best chance would be receivers. But literally Olympics final sprinters have failed to make the change
@EzeChinweik And very sterile compared to football, cricket and Rugby in the UK, almost pedestrian. I wonder if the actual issue here is the tribal nature of sport as a fan thats ingrained in us from a young age, and you love what you are brought up with 2/2
@EzeChinweik I find this really interesting, for years I’ve attempted to watch the big US sports events, form Super Bowl, World Series to even going to bars in New York for Bostons famous win in 2004. I’ve seen the Knicks play and Sam Fran Giants. I found them boring environments 1/2
@Raytrapani@javierdroide@allforthanookie Of course the have failed, it takes 1000’s of hours to build the necessary skill levels and muscle memory to compete and anything elite. The people playing Basketball / Baseball and US Football wouldn’t be able to compete at an Elite level in other sports (Football / Rugby etc).
I know very little about basketball but I do know a bit about public speaking and I can say without any hyperbole that @ZohranKMamdani is one of the greatest public speakers alive on planet earth right now.
Chills.
