My favorite 2021 theater experience was a double feature of Cronenberg’s THE FLY and TITANE.Ī close second was when they showed that Matt Damon commercial before HOUSE OF GUCCI and when it was revealed to be about cryptocurrency the entire theater bust out laughing. I can just not stop laughing that Matt Damon's pitch for crypto is "Be like a brave explorer, invest your life savings in crypto." This is the same pitch my buddy in 6th grade used to get me to dive from a railroad trestle into the river /pZpeSjEheE Twitter users especially joined in to laugh at Damon for suggesting that buying “$5 worth of Bitcoin” could put people in the same pantheon of people who have tried to scale Mount Everest or land on the moon. The platform made a $1 million direct donation to the nonprofit and is launching initiatives to encourage its own users to support the cause.Ĭertainly, both Damon and can say they are being philanthropic with their partnership, but people on Twitter are cynical about the actor’s aggrandizement of the platform. While Damon probably is being paid to do the ad, Variety also reported that the actor is also partnering with on his global non-profit,, which brings safe water and sanitization to people in need. “And in these moments of truth, these men and women, these mere mortals, just like you and me, as they peer over the edge, they calm their minds and steel their nerves with four simple words that have been whispered by the intrepids since the time of the Romans: Fortune favors the brave.” “Then there are others, the ones who embrace the moment, and commit,” Damon adds, as he walks past a vision of perhaps Edmund Hillary or Tenzing Norgay trying to reach the summit of Mount Everest and of the Wright Brothers taking flight in their 1902 glider. “History is filled with almosts,” Damon says loftily, as he walks past the vision of an explorer who sailed the oceans hundreds of years ago. In the 60-second TV spot, which ran during Sunday’s NFL games, Damon solemnly pronounces, “Fortune favors the brave” after strolling down a minimalist hallway straight out of a science fiction movie, with visions of some of the world’s great explorers appearing on each side. Matt Damon has once again riled up people on Twitter, this time for starring in a pretentious ad for a crypto-trading app in which he compares buying up Bitcoin to some of the greatest achievements in human exploration - from the Wright brothers’ first flight to astronauts exploring space.
