my mom started volunteering with autistic children and annoyed one nonverbal student so bad that he literally spoke for the very first time in his life to tell her to shut up
The only time I have experienced "FOMO" in my life is when I got kicked out of a Vietnamese sandwich restaurant at 11:30PM so the illegal vietnamese uncle gambling games could start in the back
Ben Affleck says the best work of his career is the commentary he recorded for Armageddon
Ben Affleck: So this disc, um, the... the Criterion. I was surprised when I heard Criterion was doing Armageddon, 'cause I didn't think of it as that kind of movie when we did it.
Um, and in retrospect now, I feel like maybe my best work in my career is the commentary on this disc. People approach me to talk about the commentary on this disc as much as they do like movies that I've been in.

M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village (22 today) annoyed the crap out of me. If I wanted to be gaslit for two hours, I’d just go have dinner with my sister. We were promised a monster movie, and somehow got this instead. The whole premise is just… WTF.
