Don't forget Good Will Hunting 2 : Hunting Season

I Read Phantoms and suddenly remembered that silly 90's movie and how silly it was.

/And how Billy Zane made it work

Doctor Jan Itor: Don't forget Good Will Hunting 2 : Hunting Season

Applesauce, biatch.

Taco! Taco!
Burrito! Burrito!

/fulfill all your wishes

You know how I know he's a good actor? When you see him you don't even think about how he killed all those hookers in his movie star trailer.

*fart*

Got any weed?

Word, biatch! Phantoms like a maw-farka!

Approve of this thread!

I think he's a better writer than he is actor. I'll agree with the main point of the article though. He went down with the whole Bennifer thing, but has worked hard to bring himself back, instead of complaining about life being unfair or anything like that, which sounds ridiculous when other celebrities with millions do it.

I wish him luck, and I'll probably watch things he writes/directs, but I doubt I'll go to anything to see him act.

Hey, Phantoms showed us an early Liev Schreiber and how creepy he could be.

mikelepage: *fart*

Got any weed?

"Is there any more pot?"

He should be the shark in Jaws.

Agree with the article. But "depth-defying"? Really? This is why old-media is shaking their fists (their emaciated, unemployed fists) in rage at the crap that passes for writing these days.

And then sometimes you make "Raindeer Games."

kenoshaillini: I'd say most dudes respect him for the chicks he has banged.

In the back of a volkswagen?

I thought we were supposed to respect him because he's killed so many hookers that the studio cops have their own radio code for it?

I started to like Affleck after the Jimmy Kimmel bit responding to Sarah Silverman f**king Matt Damon.

He does enjoy an extremely uncomfortable place in which to screw his girlfriends.

No love for this flick?

He should leave the drama and stick with comedy. His last SNL appearance was epic. His Olberman bit was hilarious.

Came to post this.

/the book was actually pretty awesome

Gone Baby Gone was a really, really good flick. Setting, maintaining and adjusting a movie's tone is difficult, and Affleck NAILED it.

+5 for that scene of terror when Casey Aff confronted the Hol(e)y Bartender.

Don't forget his work in the Congo

Link (new window)

Came to bring up 'gone baby gone.' Looks like widestance took care of that for me. Awesome movie. And I love watching it with people who have never seen it, especially if we disagree on the ending.

/i agree with casey affleck's girlfriend

I've had a soft spot for Affleck ever since I saw a clip of him doing his Regis impression on Regis and Kelly. I think he's one of those actors who is really a character actor stuck with a leading man face.

Kinderankern?

DeaH: Kinderankern?

Whoops - wrong thread.

This thread makes me want a sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

Ben Affleck making fun of his own role in Good Will Hunting was hilarious.

this disrespect is a tyranny up with which we dare no longer put!

Affleck's contribution to the DVD commentary for Armageddon is epic. Basically, he makes fun of the entire premise of the movie the whole way through it.

'Why do you need the best oil driller in the world? How hard could it be? Point the drill at the ground and turn it on'

"What are you looking at? Huh? I'll kick your farking ass, right now! What are you smiling at? fark all of you! fark you!"

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I didn't start hating Ben Affleck just because the gossip magazines plastered his face all over the place. It's not like he was going out of his way for that attention. All he was doing was trying to date Jennifer Lopez. Of course most people are too dumb to separate what a person actually does from the constant media attention they might receive just because they're famous.

Every time he does an accent in one of his movies I laugh. I consider him more of a clown than an actor.

IdBeCrazyIf: Hey, Phantoms showed us an early Liev Schreiber and how creepy he could be.

Yeah, I was going to say "No, Liev Schreiber was the bomb in Phantoms, yo", but you got here first.

WideStance: Gone Baby Gone was a really, really good flick. Setting, maintaining and adjusting a movie's tone is difficult, and Affleck NAILED it.

The only problem with the film was that the ending was weak and obvious, but I suspect that was Dennis Lehane's fault as the author of the story and not Affleck's. And Lehane's gets some slack from me as that was the first thing he wrote, and he's done much better since.

I'm really looking forward to the Boston boyo robbery movie that Affleck directed; seen the previews and it looks awesome.

Um...you've got your Lehane mixed up:

So, yeah...it was his fourth book, also fourth in its series. Not saying he hasn't done a lot since then, but...yeah, your timeline's off.

I never lost respect for Affleck, even after the crappy roles and the whole Bennifer thing. Dude is good people.

And I still like Jersey Girl dammit.

miramax puts him in a bunch of shiat still right?

Sorry, I thought Gone Baby Gone was the first book in the Kenzie-Gennaro series. My mistake.

/Liked Mystic River, the novel. Hated Mystic River, the movie.

GoteamVenture: miramax puts him in a bunch of shiat still right?

Miramax no longer makes films. They're now a library owned by a housing developer.

This. He's a decent enough actor but a really good director. I'll be in line early for The Town.

/not really early
/that sounds better than when I'm not on call and the sitter is available.
