Turns out everyone's favorite ahistorical Bean Town boy and This Ain't Cops XXX (2010)resident Sad Man is more than just a pretty face.
That's right, Ben Affleck, the star of such films as Gigliand Pearl Harbor, is so much more as this random (apparently) 2003 interview showing him basically predicting Spotify and Netflix streaming proves.
SEE ALSO: Ben Affleck does not button his pants, proving that not all heroes wear capesIn the middle of a fast-paced rant about file-sharing, he notes that in the future everyone will have access to music and video on demand for an annual subscription fee.
"I think an annual subscription-based system is one that works," he tells the interviewer. "It will be movies on demand but it will be a tiered structure," he adds.

"The technology's not quite there yet," declared the digital Nostradamus, "but it will be within I'd say five years."
It was in 2007, not quite five years later, that Netflix announced it would begin streaming content to computers. Spotify, meanwhile, launched in 2008 — exactly five years later as Affleck predicted it would.
Who would have thought. Too bad Affleck's foresight didn't extend to other matters.
