They do seem to be on some sort of spree. First Matt mansplains, while interrupting to an African American woman. Then he straightcissplains to GLBT people, inaccurately. Then he defends the really transparent Toasterhead.
What will he do next? I await with bated breath.

I think interviewers should stop asking celebrities hard hitting questions. Why? Because many of them can't talk without a script.

Heh. I wasn't planning to see the Martian any way (It's not my kind of thing. Space epics don't do it for me unless there are Wookies involved) But when an ad for it popped up during my regular internet/TV viewing there was a part where the main character says 'Eat your heart out, Neil Armstrong'. And my immediate and quite violent reaction was to shout 'SHUT UP MATT!' and ponder tossing something at the screen.
So, Matt is right. It's better for the actor to retain some mystery. His recent public douchiness has spilled over into his work for me, and if I had been on the edge about seeing The Martian, that line alone would have been the deciding factor in keeping my money in my pocket, or spending it on a different movie. His character may be heroic and charming and wonderful and maybe we're all supposed to cheer when he says 'Eat your heart out, Neil Armstrong'. But since it's coming through Matt's mouth all I hear now is DOUCHE!!

Some funny person on tumblr said that between Saving Private Ryan, Interstellar, and The Martian, America has wasted a lot of money trying to rescue Matt Damon.

He also recently made some comment about wanting to play Daredevil on film, but only if one specific director did it. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, since I wasn't clear on the context, but it still felt kind of douche-y to say what he did without giving any immediate mention to the actual Daredevil series that is currently filming its second season and the actor who is currently filling the role and likely to do any screen versions in the near future. Without any real reference, it felt like he was being kind of dismissive. (OK, I'm slightly biased in favor of the current actor playing Daredevil, but still ...)
A friend and I were joking that Matt's having a bit of a midlife crisis or something. He really should take his own advice and keep his mouth shut. The more I hear from him, the less I like him.

That line would suck no matter who says it. How fucking obnoxious and disrespectful can you get?

No, Matt. Ben put himself in this position by making bad movies. Also, nobody put a gun to his head and made him date JLo. He was with her for 18 months. If he'd really wanted out, then he could have broken up with her, which he eventually did do.
And he was perfectly willing to feel her up in that dumb video. If he's got regrets, then tough tuna.

I think Ben's the kind of guy who worries too much about what "his boys" think of "his girl." He was in love with JLo, but nobody else around him was, and so that relationship became more of an ordeal than an experience. I don't know how much he ever loved Jennifer Garner (my guess, some, but not a whole lot), but for dummies like him that's not what really matters. HIs boys approved of Jennifer Garner because she was a "good woman" who "knew her place," and that made her more attractive to Ben. He's such a fucking headcase that guy.

PMoC, where celebrity crushes go to die.
Sorry, Matt, I can't love you anymore. I thought you were the intelligent, thoughtful guy and Ben was the tagalong idiot douche who was useful from time to time. Now I get why you're such good friends - you both are douches.
