Ben Affleck is being controlled by "the division" (film studios) because of his rare power (movie star charm) and they keep trying over and over to force him to do what they want against his will (be in bad DC movies) until he manages to free himself to make his own future (independent movies) with his family (Matt Damon).

Babe: Pig in the City 1998
Forgot how absolutely insane this is. Babe shoots a goldfish out his mouth through a window like it was being fired from a fucking cannon and its not even top ten maddest things that happen in this.
