It’s so rare that Ben Affleck actually has something interesting to say, I had to stop and write this down. Earlier tonight, I finished watching the final episode of Project Greenlight on HBO (taped earlier for my amusement), and I like what Ben had to say at the close of the program:
Movies inherently are like this. You have all these fights, you get outraged, you get furious at people, you have all this drama because a lot is at stake and you really care about it. And then, you know, you’ve all gone through it together so you’re sort of all buddies at the end. If the kind of time you had was a direct correlation to how good the movie was, then Smokey and the Bandit would be the best movie of all time.
My question to Ben: it isn’t?
