For people who don't remember he didn't just break up with her, he announced on Oprah he was dating Winona Ryder and that's how Minnie found out they were over.

Her Oscar look remains a fave!

[howthedaysounds]

Yikes I did not know that's how they ended up breaking up. Why are men like this? (jk I know why)

[moonisaballoon]

Omg she even looks miserable here too, that is so awful.

At least she looks hot af tho

[evilgerbil]

This is kind of my default expression so that explains why people always think I'm sad or tired.

[dnttllhrry]

Damn. He was an ass for breaking it off right before the Oscars when he knew she would be there. And to bring his new gf he really ain't shit.

I just rewatched GWH recently and I can't believe they wrote that script when they were like 21.

[melancolour]

I really wish they'd write something as good, but I think part of it is that they worked with Robin Williams who was able to improvise to make the movie even better

I think they'd said the wrote the movie so they could star in it / become big actors, which clearly worked

I really like their movies together, I don't THINK I've seen one they did together that I didn't like

Dogma

Good Will Hunting

The Last Duel

Air

Air was IMO the weakest of those but still fine.

Robin Williams just copied Judd Hirsch in Ordinary People. Judd did it better!

[joe_pwnz_pete]

Dogma is my favorite Affleck/Damon movie by far but Dogma is also in my Top 5 movies of all time so...

[vibeology_e]

He was an ass then and I get the sense that he’s never changed.

[sapphiredragon]

Considering his teenage daughter had to be one the recently tell him to stop using the f-slur, I think you're right.

[steffi_333]

He’s got a real fuckboi face in that video clip so I can believe it

[genbu_no_miko24]

lol they were dating for a while and then he announced he was dating Winona Ryder on Oprah without telling Minnie.

WILDDDD

[raisedawolf]

why are men so psychotic

[sweetwaterlane]

i wonder how Winona felt about that. I'd consider it a MAJOR red flag in a new bf.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I imagine she knew cause they dated for 2 years lol.

[progression]

I didn’t know anything about them until now. Watching that clip I felt like she was a bit dramatic in it and her response. But, google says they were together for over a year AND he declared his love for her on Letterman just a month prior to dumping her on Oprah.

And they were both 27yo, not like he was some 19yo doofus.

Jfc, Matthew Paige Damon. You absolute demon.

[ari_angelique]

Men are so psychotic and pathetic. Mine dumped me while I was visiting my sick father, changed the locks and everything while I was gone. I thought we were fine, like he was legit polishing our wedding bands just three weeks prior.

Ugh, fuck boy forever.

[progression]

Holy shit. I am so sorry, that’s awful. I hope you’ve been able to move on and/or are on your way to being healed.

[ari_angelique]

Its an every day struggle. Next May will mark the one year that it happened. I'm hoping until then I'll keep getting closer and closer to being in a better place. xo
