Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends! Don't drink too much green beer.

This is a very good and *quite* interesting interview, at THR:[ Ben Affleck on ‘Air,’ New CEO Gig and Those Memes: “I Am Who I Am”](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/ben-affleck-air-production-company-grammys-memes-justice-league-1235353301/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I laughed at this: "**Yesterday there was a news cycle devoted to your parallel parking.** Dude, you know how many people can get in that spot? That was world-class Boston finesse. Granted, I did decide maybe I’m not going to bump these people anymore because it’s the Pacific Palisades and they may view bumping the bumper differently than we did back home, but it was so fucking snug. I’ve never gotten a spot that good. It was not parking assist either." You kinda forget Ben Affleck is smart.
