🚨 Matt Damon and Ben Affleck once wrote a completely absurd scene into Good Will Hunting (1997), just to test if studios were actually reading their script, and that strange decision ended up changing everything. Damon had first started the story at Harvard as a simple one act play,...

Robin Williams originally had a gay sex scene with Stellan Skarsgård in Good Will Hunting script. The reason Damon and Affleck added this was that they wanted to see which studios actually read it. Most never mentioned. Weinstein questioned it. And they eventually chose Miramax.

On the first day of the shooting, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck started crying out of happiness, because it was a scene between Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgård, accomplished actors, doing Damon's and Affleck's scene verbatim, and they had waited five years for it to happen. - 📷: Good Will Hunting(1997)

When Robin Williams read the script via Francis Ford Coppola and really liked it, his one question for Coppola was, "Who are these guys?" When Matt Damon was in his fifth year at Harvard, he was in a playwriting class. The culmination of it was to write a one-act play. He started writing a movie, which with the help of Ben Affleck became this movie. Good Will Hunting (1997).

NMIXX said they were actually so shocked when they first saw the first draft of the ‘See that?’ lyrics, and some of them even hated it and had a bad feeling about it 😭 But it just grew on them once they heard the demo sound and performed it!

Charlie Cox believes his Daredevil is better than Ben Affleck’s “I think what happened with that movie is two things. CGI was invented, and the next day they were like, ‘Let’s make a movie with it.’ And so they’re a little premature with the CGI, and also they tried to get the entire Daredevil anthology into a two-hour movie. They had everyone in that movie—they had Kingpin, they had Bullseye, they had Elektra, they had Karen Page, they had Foggy. And the suit sucks! “Before I got the role, I hadn’t seen the movie. I watched it when I got the role and, to be fair… I think the only thing Ben Affleck does really good is Matt Murdock, I like his Matt Murdock…”

Matt Damon says he wrote Good Will Hunting instead of his Harvard assignment, and his professor gave him an A "I was an English major, and in fact I started writing Good Will Hunting for a class. I just had wonderful professors, and that professor really encouraged me to keep going with it" "We were supposed to write a one-act play, and I wrote the first act of a three-act movie. I went to the guy and said, ‘I think I failed your class, but this is the first act of a movie’" "He read it, gave me a straight A and just said, ‘Don’t stop. Keep going.’ That was when I took it out and showed it to Ben"

Tony said that when he first joined the set, the wolf gang were actually filming this scene and they went to apologise to him 🥹 🐺 on my first day on set, they were filming this exact scene, playing with my (prop) head like a ball in the desert 🐺 as soon as I arrived, they immediately got off their horses and said “we’re so sorry, we were just kicking your head around like a ball… it’s for the plot” 🐺 then I told them “we’re filming, don’t overthink it. You’re in the middle of a scene, just focus on what you need to do. As for the apology, you can treat me to a meal later”

The little white puppy didn’t leave when it saw its sibling trapped in a hole—it simply stayed quietly beside it, watching over it with worry, as if trying to protect it with everything it had 💖 The two abandoned puppies were weak and in need of a home, seemingly with no hope left. But fortunately, they were rescued, taken to a veterinarian for examination and treatment, and both were later adopted together. From that moment on, these two little souls became inseparable best friends—healthier, happier, and always giving their full love and gratitude to the person who gave them a new life.

In 2009 A couple in Florida had paid cash in full on a foreclosed home in Naples. The bank makes an error and tries to foreclose on them thinking it was the previous owner. They hired a lawyer and had the foreclosure dismissed in two months. The bank was ordered to pay the Legal fees the couple had incurred. After months of not hearing back from the bank, they took further court action and was granted a writ of execution. They showed up to a branch of BOA with a moving truck, and sheriff’s deputies as they were allowed to start loading up the BANK’s assets. The manager wasn’t happy about this and finally wrote them a check for the money that they were owed. Score one for the little guy !!!

The final scene in The Godfather Part II, with the family gathered around the dinner table, was originally going to include Marlon Brando, but he pulled out at the very last minute. Coppola had to rewrite a whole new ending the night before the shoot. He explains: “It’s a very interesting story, because I had written this scene that we go back to, around the period just before the first Godfather, when they were all young… My idea was that they would come together, finally, at the end, as a family. And the end of the movie would be a big, beautiful scene with Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, sort of summing up the whole saga that had gone down. And I was negotiating with Marlon Brando right up to the last minute saying, “Marlon, please, just one day. We’ll give you this money.” But Marlon was so mad at Paramount - for ultimately not paying him any money on the first picture, or whatever he was mad about - And although I didn’t know it until the last day, ultimately, it wasn’t going to be possible to have him in the picture. So I went to bed that night really worried. I had lost the end of my movie. I had to shoot it the next day. I had no idea what to do. I was sleeping in the Chateau Marmont Hotel. I had this scene. I had paid all this money to get Jimmy Caan to come back and some of the other actors to be in the last scene. And in the middle of the night, I just had this idea. And I wrote it - which is that they were all gathered for a surprise birthday party for the Don. And so after this scene plays out, in which Michael’s decision to join the Marines is kind of examined relative to really what all we know is going to happen, and what this young, beautiful, collegiate man who’s a war hero, who goes straight, is going to end up to be: this man without a heart, who’s killed his own brother and alienated his wife… And I thought there could be one beautiful scene with him and Don Corleone as we remember him from the first movie. Since Marlon didn’t come, I made it the surprise party, and I built it up to the point where they all said, “Oh, he’s here. He’s here.” And they all run out of the room. And as you’re waiting for Marlon to come into the room, you just stay on Al… And I came up with the solution at, like - three in the morning. And the next day they said, “Well, Marlon’s not coming.” And I said, “That’s all right. I’ve got a scene we can do without him.” And it was this one. Also, I like that staging kind of, especially about families who ultimately dissolve in front of your eyes, the idea that you have a table full of people. And one by one, someone argues or someone goes off, and then you’re just left with one … And everything else now is just sound. The father comes, and you know he’s there, and you feel he’s there, but you’re left with Michael alone.” This quote comes from the director's commentary track off the Godfather Part II Blu-ray

These two were hosting a seniors night event at school. Eve though everything is planned and scripted they still manage to go off script. When it’s time to play the national anthem, they don’t play it as they were supposed to, instead they both laugh and blunder their way through it so bad a teacher had to walk in and remind them to play it from their phone. Do you feel they were intentionally trying to disrespect the anthem or was is their unscripted chance for a time to shine moment gone wrong?

Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of "The Honeymooners", on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he didn't want to shoot his show in New York anymore. He wanted to do it in Miami, and he wanted to get there in style. "When we're doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn't want to do it. And they didn't believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn't want to do it." When the network came back asking him to do another show, Gleason was in California making a picture. He said yes, but with one condition: "I said, 'All right.' I said, 'But I want a train that goes to Florida.' Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it." They went for it. What followed was a rolling party across the country. Gleason describes what was on the train: "Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I'd say to them, 'Take five miles,' and the parties went on 24 hours." Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: "Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn't. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip." Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: "A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that's a classic example of what clout is." Then he delivers the line that sums up the whole story: "'Send a train, please.' That's right. When you've got good ratings and you're one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don't provide."

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was so demanding that only one person visited the set in six months. Ben Affleck. "You were the only guest in six months of shooting." Damon says the reason was simple. "The workload was incredible." "It was such an ambitious project that there was no time for anything else." He called it the most demanding movie he's ever made. "I've never worked on a film that required every single person to give maximum effort." Then he put it into perspective. "Every location on that movie would've been the hardest location on any other movie I'd ever done." "And every day of work was harder than any day on any other movie I'd ever worked on." Even Ben Affleck joked that it reminded him of when they were kids, calling each other to ask: "So... what's it like shooting your movie?"

We found the clip of Andrew Ross Sorkin breaking the Dan Loeb Sony story live on CNBC in 2013, 15 minutes after it happened. It was one of my favorite stories from the conversation with Dan. "The first time we invested in it, it was basically a conglomerate. It had obviously the main Sony studios. It had a semiconductor business, a life insurance business, the consumer electronics. So we advised them to separate these businesses. We met with the management team. We had a big deck that we went through. At the end of the meeting, we told them, "Well, in the interest of transparency, we shared our investment thesis with The New York Times." They went into a panic when we told them about that. Andrew Ross Sorkin wrote the story and agreed to embargo it until the Japanese market closed. The story came out, and they had prearranged us to go on a tour of their innovation center. But before we went on the innovation center, Kaz Hirai (CEO of Sony) looked at me, he says, "You told The New York Times?" I said, "Yeah, but just The New York Times, nobody else." He says, "Okay, just The New York Times." It was wild. We were walking around the innovation center looking at our BlackBerrys when the story went everywhere. They really pushed back on everything that we recommended. It took them about five years, and I think one by one, they've done many of the things."

A Ghanaian lady appeared on Auntie Naa’s Oyerepa Afutuo show and shared how a friend named Barbara, whom she had helped secure a job, stole GH¢16,000 from the workplace just two hours after starting. She explained that she had done everything possible to recover the money. In one instance, the lady who stole it admitted in an audio recording that she had indeed taken the money but would only return it on the condition that they go on TikTok Live for three consecutive days and declare either that they had found the money or that she was innocent. She also added that if they failed to do so, they would not get back even a single pesewa. According to her, she stole the money to invest it, work with it, and later return it to its rightful owner. This audacious demand by Barbara stemmed from the fact that they had earlier gone on TikTok Live, posted her picture, and appealed for information about her whereabouts.

In one instance, the lady who stole it admitted in an audio recording that she had indeed taken the money but would only return it on the condition that they go on TikTok Live for three consecutive days and declare either that they had found the money or that she was innocent. She also added that if they failed to do so, they would not get back even a single pesewa. According to her, she stole the money to invest it, work with it, and later return it to its rightful owner. This audacious demand by Barbara stemmed from the fact that they had earlier gone on TikTok Live, posted her picture, and appealed for information about her whereabouts.

Jackie Gleason, the legendary American comedian and star of “The Honeymooners”, on the time he got CBS to send him a private train to Miami: In the 1960s, Gleason decided he was done shooting his show in New York. He wanted Miami, and he wanted to arrive there in style. “When we’re doing the Honeymooners, I had a big contract for that for two years. And after the first year, I said I didn’t want to do it. And they didn’t believe me. They thought I had a job somewhere else. And finally, they realized that I just didn’t want to do it.” When the network came crawling back and asked him to do another show, Gleason was out in California shooting a picture. He said yes — but only under one condition: “I said, ‘All right.’ I said, ‘But I want a train that goes to Florida.’ Because I had come down here and played golf and liked it and I figured might as well go to Florida and do the show. Play golf all the time and they went for it.” They went for it. What followed was a rolling party stretching coast to coast. Gleason breaks down what was on board: “Everything. We had two Dixieland bands come from California and they would spell each other. I’d say to them, ‘Take five miles,’ and the parties went on 24 hours.” Asked if there were girls on the train, he laughs: “Boy, there were girls. There certainly were. And they were very, very nice girls. Nothing on it happened. I know that sounds ridiculous, but it didn’t. Might have been because the berths were too small, but regardless of that, nothing happened on that trip.” Asked if there was a bar on the train, his answer is perfect: “A bar. The train was a bar. I guess that’s a classic example of what clout is.” Then he drops the line that captures the whole story in a single breath: “‘Send a train, please.’ That’s right. When you’ve got good ratings and you’re one, two, or three in the ratings, there is nothing your little heart desires that they don’t provide.”
