If someone starts a movie and immediately pulls their phone out or starts cleaning, that’s on them.

And movies absolutely should not be made to cater to addiction. Nothing should, except for something explicitly designed to help people recover from addiction.

When movies have a good idea and are given the proper attention to make them well, regular people won’t be checking the time or reading blogs when they become bored. The problem is that studios say that, good idea or not, proper attention to the craft or not, we’re making this many movies this year. We’re lucky if a few of those movies are something future generations would consider good.

Matt Damon is suggesting that movies be made even worse than they already are.

Matt Damon is suggesting

It definitely reads more as "Netflix execs suggest and Matt Damon complains about"
