here in the military, we do things differently. when a woman is getting beat up at home? me and my seven buddies make it entirely about ourselves, and violently
“fought for our country” lmao. We talking Iraq? Afghanistan? Operating a drone from an office in Colorado? Getting deployed to Germany and just kind of chilling out? What picture should I be making in my brain rn

Recently had a conversation with someone where they said, redacted, “…and [Jeff] had an affair,” and I said “[JEFF]?! Had an AFFAIR?! …[JEFF]??!” and they said “That’s right, an emotional affair.” Knock it off with this. We can’t be doing this. I’m not participating in it.

“But the script gives her nothing to do except yearn for Matt Damon, for reasons unknown. The couple have no chemistry and nothing in common.” Objectively inaccurate, their bed scene is hot and we learn from the bow-and-arrow flashback exactly why she’s into him
