You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”
“It’s really going to start to infringe on how we’re telling the story,” he added.

Like, can we be done?’” Damon said about those who’ve been canceled. “Like, the thing about getting kind of excoriated publicly like that, it just never ends.”
Affleck said, “And to take any forgiveness out of it is a really f–ed up thing, because then it makes it impossible to actually go, ‘All right, yeah, I did that… That was wrong. I get it,’ You know, because it doesn’t matter. Once you’ve said you’ve done it, you become like an outcast.”
