August 25, 2013 3:26 am That is a good point randall. When i looked at Bale as Batman i saw Batman because his personal life is largely a mystery. When i look at Affleck as anything i can't help but have my view obstructed by J Lo's huge ass (and therefor just see Affleck pretending to be Batman). Alec Baldwin just did an interview on Howard Stern during which he talked about how a colleague used to tell him to stay out of the press to prevent turning all of his characters into versions of himself. He also commented about twitter and how that has done him and many other actors/actresses a lot of damage by killing their mystery. Their characters get mixed up with their opinions with many fans. I try to keep these things separate but Lopez's ass is still too big to ignore. I can't wait to witness the legendary grudge match. Superman vs Ben Affleck.

August 25, 2013 2:55 am Holy shit Itho. Jim Cavizel as well? I never thought of him; i have no idea why. He practically is Batman on that pretty good "person of interest" tv show. How awesome would he have been?

August 25, 2013 2:49 am Thanks Itho. You probably didn't misread me. I was being vague and wishy washy and goofy. Ya Scott maybe i am wrong about him. It just so happens that I haven't seen Argo yet but in past movies where he has gone shirtless (even none superhero movies) i actually thought on more than one occasion "why does matt damon not give his friend some tips". I am a guy that until very recently ran 20 miles a week under 9 minute miles, played numerous sports, and lifted 3 days a week, so maybe i have an unrealistic or unreasonable reasoning in this regard. Also i have a hang up about realism to the point that if i pick art or decorations for my house i always choose near photo realistic art. Even stuff like halloween costumes with me always had to be "realistic" looking. The last time i went to halloween party i used movie quality makeup and prosthetics just to make parts of my face look rotten and falling apart. I looked better than a walking dead extra. Just my notion of what being untrained can do to someone who just dives right into any particular sport will probably take away a bit of fun from my viewing pleasure of this upcoming movie. I mean seriously if Affleck doesn't train a little he could injury himself on the first day of filming a fight scene, never mind actually fighting. Anyway based on your Argo six pack info maybe he has turned into a gym rat. Either way i am sure that he will train. My issue is really more about his acting than anything else, but i concede that i have liked him in "the town", "sum of all fears", and at least a few other movies. Its stuff like reindeer games that has got me wishing for some Hamm. Love the mighty mouse avatar btw.

August 25, 2013 2:17 am Ha, oh now i get it. Thanks Scott. I just looked it up and it was also the title of a movie he stared in at 18 years of age. A musical, which explains why i have never seen it. I hate musicals.

August 24, 2013 11:47 pm You are a gentleman Jim! Just saying. I love Good Will Hunting a lot. It was one of my favorite movies for many years. I used to make people watch it, and yes it was one of Affleck's believable roles ( I liked him in it). The girl with the dragon tattoo remake was a pretty impressive Craig performance although i haven't seen near the percentage of Craig's work as I have of the other actors mentioned, so I probably shouldn't comment further. You have a good rest of your weekend sir.

August 24, 2013 10:00 pm Well first of all my first couple of comments were conceived by me when i was thinking goofy light hearted thoughts. Second of all I do not expect Ben Affleck to bulk up and I actually do not think it is necessary for the role. I am of an opinion that Affleck was always a flabby skinny guy and he remained so on daredevil. He was not toned on daredevil if i remember correctly. Toned is enough, something that shows something resembling an athletic body is enough. Mountain climbers are incredible athletes and are both toned and light. I think that gymnasts are the best athletes in the world and those guys are pretty big though (exactly what Dick Grayson would look like), but again that is not necessary. I don't think i have ever seen a single muscle on affleck so he might look silly next to Cavill unless they use some padding. Having said all this I think John Hamm would make the ideal Batman and he is as flabby as Affleck. Hamm is a better actor however and that is what really matters. Was Hamm even asked? Maybe he would not be interested anyway. The rest of my comments were just jokes really but good cop and bad cop can't keep it in their holster; they just want to whip that little thing out all the time.

August 24, 2013 8:47 pm Looking forward to this.

August 24, 2013 8:46 pm Love me some silver surfer.
