Ben Affleck

Like you show up at an appointed time.

You know what I mean?

It doesn't wait for you.

It's, you know, and versus the, the, the experience of watching at home, I think, you know, you're watching in a room, the lights are on, other shit's going on.

The kids are running around, the dogs are running around, whatever it is.

You know what I mean?

It's just a very different level of attention.

that you're willing to, or that you're able to give to it.

And that has a big effect, and it also ends up having an effect, or is starting to have an effect on how you make movies.

Like for instance, Netflix, you know, standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you know, you usually have like three set pieces, one in the first act, one in the second, one in the third, and you know, they kind of ramp up, and the big one with all the explosions, and you spend most of your money on that one in the third act, that's your kind of finale.

And now they're like, can we get a big one in the first five minutes to get somebody, we want people to stay tuned in.

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, you know what I mean?

And so then it's gonna really start to infringe on

Creatively.

Yeah, how we're telling the story.

It didn't do any of that.

You know what I mean?

It's so masterfully made that it feels a little more like the exception.

I hope it's not.

That's a joke that I like to make with every director I work with.
