: I just love Affleck, and think he will rock in The Sum Of All Fears. Thing is over in the UK we're getting a lot of Anti-Ben press, apparently from your side of the pond, over whether people are ready for terrorism-type plots. I was just wondering if Kev though Affleck was spot on with his choice to do the Clancy-fest, his rebuttle that if people are to tender still to not go and watch it, or if Ben is chancing a public backlash like so many have recieved in these days of softly, softly. This is the second time we've heard murmurs of Affleck flying close to the wind over September 11th. Changing Lanes features landscape shots of a pre-Sept 11th Manhattan skyline. I think this was right on by Roger Michell to include these shots. Raimi's decision to CGI the towers out made me feel uneasy for some reason. I will fight Affleck's corner against all-comers, but I'm still really intrested in what others have to say about it, particularly Kev. I mean, we've all went along with Ben throughout the Jersey Series, and to abandon him now would make me feel like a fair-weather supporter.
