In fact, you've made me want to watch this one all over again 'cause it's probably been, like, fifteen yesars since I've seen it. thanks for the reminder of how brilliant this one is.

I didn't realise that it was generally seen as overrated until quite recently, but I've always liked it! I wish that I was a maths genius (or a genius of any kind!), but I guess if you have to take all of the other stuff that goes along with that in the film I'm okay being me. <br /><br />I hope that the job search goes well! I'm going to start looking for a new job soon too, maybe I should watch it again to give me more motivation, hehe.Jimjamjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249933703532348607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-83577508283182965212013-12-19T22:58:33.867+00:002013-12-19T22:58:33.867+00:00I feel like I've seen the movie come up on a l...I feel like I've seen the movie come up on a lot of "most overrated" lists.<br /><br />I'm trying to think of other Damon/Affleck movies I like. Technically Damon has a cameo in Chasing Amy, so that sort of counts? Although it might be more that I'm a Kevin Smith fan since Smith did Dogma and Chasing Amy and (probably) did some heavy re-writes on this one.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-27334166406851941442013-12-19T21:30:39.305+00:002013-12-19T21:30:39.305+00:00WHAT?!

I don't know about the help that Affleck and Damon got, but I kind of want to believe they did it all by themselves? <br /><br />Either way, I don't really care who wrote it, it's just SO GOOD. (ps do you just like movies with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in? Cause there's this, and there's Dogma... I sense a theme!)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-18063236127295478542013-12-19T21:26:14.474+00:002013-12-19T21:26:14.474+00:00That's fair!

Tbh, Ben Affleck's slump in the early 2000s doesn't really surprise me because my GOD I hate him so much. At least as an actor. He's an ok director. But I still hate him. And yet, I love Matt Damon! It's so difficult being me and having feelings and stuff.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-47743305973559459502013-12-19T16:31:17.554+00:002013-12-19T16:31:17.554+00:00YAY I'm glad you liked this one.

I feel like the movie has gotten a lot of flack in recent years for not being nearly as good as all of the hype and reviews and accolades say it is, but screw those people. I do think Damon & Affleck got a lot of help writing this (Kevin Smith and William Goldman [guy that wrote book & screenplay for Princess Bride] did rewrites) BUT STILL. I heart this movie.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-39454224387492667942013-12-19T14:35:28.730+00:002013-12-19T14:35:28.730+00:00Okay I honestly glazed over this post, because I&#...Okay I honestly glazed over this post, because I've never seen it either! And I'm planning on this thing next year where I watch more movies, and I'm adding Good Will Hunting to my must-watch list.

It also makes the early 2000 slump they both had extra weird, like, why are you in crappy movies with JLO you're fucking brilliant! Btw don't ever watch Gigli.
