ie: Matt Damon is an idiot liberal
This trailer does look promising</div></div>
You can't judge it that way or at least IMO you can't. I could care less what he does off screen, as long as he produces a good performance on screen which is what i pay to watch, not his interviews and his social life. It's like all the hate with Mel Gibson crazy or not the man has a serious talent for acting, and i've never seen emotion displayed on Mel's level in some of his movies. It's so damn good it'd be hard to believe he's acting. The moment he loses his first son in the patriot, or he get betrayed in braveheart, or when he is attempting suicide in lethal weapon. Look at his eyes it's as though he is really feeling what he displays. Same goes for robert downey but he's been resurrected so to speak. As well as Tom Cruise, he's a scientologist or whatever, i'm a christian but am i going to stop watching his movies because of his beliefs or actions? Absolutely not, because i don't give a damn what he does off stage, it's what he does on stage that i pay to see and he does it well i might add.
It's kind of like music, you may listen to some things but that doesn't mean you agree with them by any means. I like Slipknot, do i wear a pentagram across my chest, tattoo 666 on my forehead, and call myself a maggot? Nope, just a regular guy that has a wide range in music.
Just my perspective on it.
That being said i'm just not a damon fan never have been. He does his job in the departed because the by the end of the movie i hate his character. He also does decent in the adjustment bureau, he's really good in "Good Will Hunting" and thats about the extent of the movies ilike with Damon in them.
