    What I don't get is how all these comments about the arc of his career and his redemption and all that have anything to do with the fact that he's not a very good actor. It's funny; I criticize Affleck as an actor and the main argument I get is, "He's a great director." Yes, yes, he is. But being a great director doesn't make him any better of an actor. This weird opinion that somehow it does has infected even some of the most intelligent people I know. I know he's a great director. That has nothing to do with the fact that he isn't a good actor.

    I liked him in Paycheck because Aaron Eckhart made him his ***** for like 5 minutes.

    Actually, it's a ****ing terrible movie.

    Agree with Dazed and Confused. His career should have stopped there.

    Apparently Ryan Gosling passed on being Batman. We missed out on so many "Hey girl, I'm the goddamn Batman"-type jokes. :(

    Ryan Gosling as the Batman? What? He looks too spaced out of his mind all the time to be Batman.

    I'm guessing he wants to do more of what he's been doing, which has been taking some indy/Oscar bait roles and going more into directing (IIRC the film he's directing Matt Smith in either just wrapped or should be just about to.)

    I was actually rooting for him to whack the crap out of that annoying little blonde kid and felt cheated that he didn't get to. Haha
