OT: Ben Affleck Schadenfreude (re Batman v Superman)
I have not seen Batman Vs Superman. I have no opinion regarding how Zack Snyder may or may not have ruined the movie. However, I do have an irrational dislike of Ben Affleck and enjoyed this video of him having a sad immensely. If you are a jerk like me, enjoy. Or discuss the movie, whether or not you will/have seen it, etc. NO SPOILERS!!!
I haven't seen the film yet, but that clip is hilarious.
During the movie previews, the director asked us not to give out any spoilers, so I won't. Only because he asked so nicely.
I am not a Ben Affleck fan, but I did like him in this role. He was moody enough to play Batman. The dude had some serious muscle mass, too. Plus all the cool Batman toys.
I love anything that Jeremy Irons does and he played Alfred very well. Huge man-crush here, similar to what many on this blog have with Harbaugh.
I liked the movie! They did a really good job developing the reason for the hate between Batman and Superman. And the twist that brings about the fight. Like all movies that are made for sequels, this one teases out what we all know from the comic books. This is the next movie:
One of the first times I've ever agreed with everything in one of your posts.
My brother in law's college roommate married Jennifer Garner's best friend a couple of years ago.
They let the couple use their Bel Air (?) estate for the wedding. It was a two day affair that my brother in law attended.
He met Ben/Jen and said they were extremely polite and down to earth (at least over the two days he saw them). They let people walk around the house, met their kids, etc.
They did ask people not to go around taking pictures and such, but he did get to touch the oscar for Good Will Hunting. It was actually the time Affleck was working out to get in shape for his Batman role.
That being said, the reason I think some people thing Ben can be a douche is how political he appers to be.
there is a low-bar ringing endorsement right there.
...he doesn't seem so bad as people go.
that isn't even a question. Polarizing as an actor, but every one of his films as a director is excellent.
He seems like a fine person, but cheating on your wife with the nanny always rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure he's not the worst person in terms of Hollywood superstars, but he seems like a guy who definitely reads his press clippings.

I'll admit that was pretty funny, but why does everyone hate Ben Affleck so much? He's had a hand in some of my favorite movies. Good Will Hunting, Gone Baby Gone, The Town come to mind. Just don't get why people are constantly shitting on him.
In my case it's not hate towards Ben, it's the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman.
He was ATROCIOUS as DareDevil, who used to be one of my favorite heroes. After the Affleck Abortion, I don't like the character anymore.
When you lay an egg THAT BAD, getting a shot to play one of the most iconic heroes in history....well, it makes no sense.
I just saw B v S, Ben Affleck is one of the very few redeeming qualities. Lay off him.
I didn't like Captain America at all, and it is mostly due to Chris Evans. He isn't the worst, but I just don't find the guy to be a great actor. I also don't really like the Avengers, I find them all quite dull. On the other hand, I am loving the Netflix Daredevil show, and enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy a ton. I saw B V S last night. It wasn't the worst or the best thing ever, it was just ok. A little too long for me. But Affleck was pretty damn good as Batman.
I thought the first half was a pretty interesting whodunit. As the second half got rolling, I thought this is freakin' great! Rosamund Pike was outstanding. And Affleck was good too.
I was thinking of Gone Girl. But I did see Gone Baby Gone too, and I really liked it.
I think you're confused. Amy Adams is not in Gone Baby Gone...
We'll nail this down eventually.
sure it's not Meg Ryan?
You're all way off. I'm sure it was Ryan Adams. What are we talking about again?
It was the Summer of '69!!

Plus epic cameos in Dazed and Confused and Mallrats.
O'Bannion single-handedly made me afraid of high school...
Ben Affleck has a lot to be sad about. I would be disappointed if my relationship with Jennifer Garner were ending, too.
Have you ever seen how she behaves outside of her acting roles? I saw an interview with her a few years ago where could have been mistaken for a 15-year-old girl.
Plus, as hot Hollywood starlets go, Jennifer Garner is about a 6. She is the cute friend-type, not the hot leading lady.
