“Hey, y’know how Matt Damon’s first big role was as a math genius, and then he did a bunch of action spy movies? What if we had a movie where the lead guy was both, and also a secret philanthropist?”
“How would we make that believable?”
“Easy- let’s make him autistic!”
“Does autism give people super math/killing/philanthropy powers?”
“No idea!”
“Good enough for me!”
“Should we also include a nonsense plot?”
“I think that’s practically a requirement.”
“If people like it, we can do a sequel in ten years.”
“But after all that time people will forget the first movie!”
“You’re right. Let’s do it in nine.”
Today’s poster is so, so, so dumb. But so is the movie, so that works out.
