Have not seen either due to his past movies, but I will have to check the Town out. Maybe Argo too.

He often ops for some pretty awful movie choices. Such as Gigli, Paycheck, Smoking Aces etc. and I’m unsure why he allows himself to be drawn into those so easily. There are a few exceptions, but the choices made by actor Affleck and “Creator” (Director, Producer, Screenwriter) Affleck are what really segregates his work. I see a rule to go by with Affleck is that you can trust his films to be great so long as he’s acting as either director or screenwriter. So far he’s only directed and written for three (Directed: Argo, The Town, Gone Baby Gone; Screen-written: The Town, Gone Baby Gone, Good Will Hunting) but they’ve all been very top tier efforts by him and very well planned and developed.

His acting can waver depending on the environment, but when he’s involved in the creation of a movie he knows what it takes to make it go well. I suspect this Batman venture will be awful because it seems like another deal he’s thrown himself blindly into (amongst the other details surrounding it that I don’t particularly like), but when he makes something of his own I trust it will turn out well for him.

Argo, The Town, Gone Baby Gone and Good Will Hunting are all the prominent features that he’s had some kind of behind the scenes control over, and they’ve all turned out remarkably well, but when he’s just cast in something without any say in it’s development then we don’t get to see it flourish under him. He’s an okay actor and a brilliant director, and that’s how I like to organise his movies.

Edit: I should throw in here that he didn’t cast himself in Gone Baby Gone, the lead went to his younger brother, but the entire film’s direction and style comes mostly under his work/supervision.

Is there no shot of him doing anything behind the scenes?

Forgot about those other two movies. Both were also awesome. I never saw any of the others listed

With Batman Vs Superman? I suspect not a lot, I feel like even Nolan had very little involvement as to how things progressed relative to how closely tied he was to it, I think Snyder likely wants to know that this is his creation when it comes to being directed and that it’s mostly his vision that comes out on the screen. Affleck might be able to throw in suggestions here and there when he’s talking to Snyder about particular scenes or parts of the script, but it’s entirely down to Snyder whether he chooses to take in those suggestions and make changes.

Even then, I would imagine Superhero movies are far from Affleck’s forte and he’s not naturally inclined enough to make good suggestions for this type of sub-genre. If there are a few incredibly dramatic and melancholic scenes then he would be a brilliant asset, but outside of that I’m not sure if he connects well enough with that type of movie to make any game-changing epiphanies. He seems like the kind to just keep to himself when acting is all that’s really expected of him, unless Snyder asked for his help I don’t think he’d play much into how it turns out.

Not sure about anyone else but for me it’s… Daredevil

146

Maybe Matt Damon can play the man of steel and we can get Jay and Silent Bob to play the Joker and Riddler.

daredevil

gigli

he was even bad in dogma

didnt care for him in the town, either

hollywoodland. he even played frikkin supahman in that one and was HORRIBLE.

he completely buttfucked Jack Ryan in the sum of all fears.

Pearl harbor

Armageddon

essentially any movie i have ever been forced to suffer through that he has been in.

unless argo was LITERALLY the BEST MOVIE EVER MADE it cant make up for the list of dog shit he has delivered in his career.

Also, i cant wait to hear batman say “get in the cah”, “you fly wicked fast, supah man”, “how fah can you fly, supahman?”, “alfred is a chowdahead”, etc.

That’s weak…If Bale got rid of his British Accent, Affeck can put his aside as well.

one of the glaring differences between the two is that Bale is a good actor.

with a resume like afflacks, the same can not be said. it could be argued. but not well.

and to be perfectly honest bale went from british to kind of overly growly and spitty. what is the master thespian affleck going to deliver to us?

come on, his first attempt at superheroing was daredevil. DAREFUCKINGDEVIL. that movie was an utter abomination and an affront to God himself.

150

Well so was fucking ‘‘Johnny Dangerously’’ with Micheal Keaton.

BLASPHEMER! Johny Dangerously was funny as fuck.

fargin corksucker

also, johny dangerously was not a superhero movie.

152

Did it need to be?
Were those the rules of the debate?

your reply was directly underneath the post where i stated:
“come on, his first attempt at superheroing was daredevil. DAREFUCKINGDEVIL. that movie was an utter abomination and an affront to God himself.”

i do believe it reasonable to think you replying to the post above since no indication was made otherwise. maybe use quote next time?

if it was a general response to any of the batman actors making bad movies, i still put the list of dogshit affleck has delivered against johny dangerously any day.

gigli vs johny dangerously. yeah, dangerously any day and 5 times on tuesday.

The Town is pretty darn good but Argo was a little too stressful for me. Great story though.

But did you really not like Good Will Hunting? (I don’t know anyone who disliked that one)

A human being would enjoy Good Will Hunting, sure. But Bauber is more of a rhinoceros/cape buffalo hybrid with remarkable typing skills, so it’s understandable in his case.

158

Is ANYONE really the same person they fucking were when Good Will Hunting came out anyway?

Affeck was good in that…and Does anyone really fucking remember the Michael Keaton fiasco?

The ONLY reason that controversy tempered itself was when it was announced later that Nicholson would be The Joker, then the anticipation meter started to needle in the opposite direction.

DON’T blame Affleck, I doubt he clamored for the role…you guys should find out who the fuck CHOSE him to be Batman…THAT’S the director to blame if ya hate him so much.

Was it Chris Nolan? Zack Snyder? WHO???

159

If the rumors are true Bryan Cranston as Lex would be awesome.
