Why is Ben Affleck still trying to act?
He is terrible. His last several movies has bombed. I like his politics and he seems like a nice guy (despite his fiasco with J-Lo) but really, the boy needs to find another line of work.

He has the name, looks, everything to run for office now. Quit acting and do it, Benny!

7. this thread was inspired by this review
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/click/movie-1137349/reviews.php?critic=columns&sortby=default&page=3&rid=1330562&bc=34

yeah, he is a cutie pie in a, I dunno, CLEAN sort of way. I like my guys a bit rougher - currently I'm crushing on Johnny Damon. :thumbsup:

15. Glad this guy still knows a hair stylist....
... that can make him look like a drywall installer circa 1973.

Besides, his "bat" is probably corked.

Go Red Sox!

9. I like his live schtick, seems like a great fun guy
But he or his agent can't pick a property to save his soul. If he becomes box office poison, the jig is up. I would quit while I was ahead or take a hiatus.

14. Because "handsome'" people don't live in cardboard boxes.
And because Matt Damon came to his senses and quit dragging Affleck's slacker ass around.

Lopez was way too good for Ben.

19. Just watched "Jersey Girl" Friday night
Nice little movie. Okay he isn't the best actor but he definitely has a "screen presence".

:shrug:

20. It depends on his material
Good performance:

Dogma
Chasing Amy
Good Will Hunting
Dazed and Confused
Shakespeare in Love
Changing Lanes

Bad Performances:

Gigli
Daredevil
Pearl Harbor
Armageddon
Paycheck
Bounce

Not to mention these are some of the WORST movies EVER made!

"Afflek was the BOMB in Phantoms"
