: That clunk was the other shoe dropping.
: Good god man, how blind are you? Affleck was best known for 'thug' parts before Kevin got ahold of him. Did you see his performances in Chasing Amy and Dogma? The 'thank you' scene alone was almost transcendent.
I just thought that ben looked real believable in the skit. I have seen ben in many other skits and in other movies, and he isn't that good of an actor. kevin does bring out the best in him, but i was saying that p.t. did a good job as well.
: Look, I really don't care about PTA...he's just another director as far as I'm concerned. Not great, not bad either.
i'm not a julianne moore fan, but PTA brings out the very best in her. He is great. my opinion.
But Kevin's direction of actors is the best I've seen in a long while. And I've seen a lot of movies.
me, personally, i think shannon dougherty acted better in 90210. and the girls in clerks.......i won't even go there.
: I saw the skit and thought it was rather stupid. Ben's acting was decent on SNL, but there was nothing to write home about.
yes, ben's acting on SNL was nothing to write home about, but in the skit with PTA, he was superb. even though it was only 3 minutes long, it was some of ben's finest acting. again, my opinion.
