Well actually being serious.
Matt Damon is awesome.
Speaking of awesome.
This movie was good.
Especially once I understood where it fits in based on the 2nd movie.

I didn't actually see him, personally. Maybe I unknowingly saw the top of his head or something, but I was busy yelling at some customers. Its a fun story!
First off I was scheduled in Guest Services (which meant most of my day was incredibly boring since, besides the Matt Damon thing [of which nobody who was going to that would need to go to Guest Services] it was really slow day) and I was standing around in there wishing I could join the excitement when this ugly guy and his girlfriend/fiance/wife/whore/punching bag lady came up and asked about the Matt Damon and where he was going to be and they didn't really care about Matt Damon but they were wondering when he would come out, although it wasn't like they cared about Matt Damon at all.
And I told them that since this was a relatively private charity event that you had to buy a ticket for, and they didn't buy a ticket, I couldn't tell them. And they got a little frustrated I guess and said they'd find out anyway even if I didn't tell them (although they apparentely really didn't care about Matt Damon at all).
So a few hours later I get a few calls and such about an issue I wasn't entirely sure whether I knew how to handle or not (I didn't know if I really should have given them passes or not, anyway....), so I went over to Ms. Lawrence, on of my Senior Managers, and was talking to her about it. Little did I know that Matt Damon was actually probably less than 20 or 30 feet away answering questions for the TV news man. Unfortunately at that moment some stupid snotty pre-teen girls were trying to take pictures and Ms. Lawrence had warned them not to so we went to kick them out, no refund, and they got all ticked off and started throwing a hissy.
And then Ms. Partee, another manager, asked the couple from earlier, who were standing around the Matt Damon area, if they would go ahead and head toward their auditorium and the guy got
ANGRY!!!!
I mean, he started yelling and cussing and demanding his money back and I walked over and just stood next to Partee (even though I'm a small guy a lot of guy customers who yell at the female managers are pretty sexist and stop when a guy manager walks up, even short ones), but he started yelling and yelling and I got one of the cops hanging around to head over and Ms. Lawrence joined in. It was cool.
And then we went to Guest Services and the pre-teens were back with their mom who was yelling and yelling about they deserve their money back and they've never been treated like this at a theatre before and whatever. Anyway. It was exciting.
The mom of the pre-teens got the money for her ticket only because technically she hadn't been kicked out. The angry couple who supposedly didn't care about Matt Damon decided they would peacefully go to their movie rather than "escorted out" by the police. And I didn't get to see Matt Damon (he was only there for less than, like, 30 minutes. In, make some announcements and do some quick quick interviews, out).
But it was still exciting.
