He's very versatile. Except he couldn't exactly play a beefy thug.

I've not seen that one but I googled it and it sounds interesting.
I've not seen Casey in much but he's definitely a decent actor.

I kinda love him even more knowing he is an absolute mess.
I never read book so I had no expectation at at all. I like Casey Affleck a lot as an actor. He was straight up sinister in
The Killer Inside Me
. I don't think many people liked that movie but I did. A couple of the violent scenes in that were uncomfortably realistic. Of course it went a bit batshit but I dug it anyway. He was great.

If there's a man I want to shake, slap and call an idiot it is Mr. Affleck. I adore his wife, his ex-wife actually, she was always too good for him and he pissed it all away…
Anyhoo, Gone Baby Gone was a decent film. Although his brother wasn't quite the Patrick I envisioned from the book to be honest, I loved that it asked some darkly difficult questions of the audience. Lehane wrote a sequel to the story where we see the ramifications of Amanda being returned to her mother btw.

…much as I love him.
I used to hate the sight of him! Except for
Dogma
and
Chasing Amy
. But it changed to respect after I saw
Gone Baby Gone
and I didn't even know beforehand and that it was him directing it. I loved its dark feel. And then he delivered a few pretty good performances after that (as well as directing), and I realised I don't hate his face as much as I used to. Same with Matt Damon. I couldn't stand their smug ****ing faces…but over time, Matt Damon grew on me. Like a fungus.
And Leonardo Dicaprio come to think of it.
I still don't like Leonardo DiCaprio's face though. He looks even more smug as the years go by.
Except in
the Revenant
. Not smug there at all, so there's hope for him still. I htink he's a very good actor though. He was fantastic in
What's Eating Gilbert Grape?
, for example.

That is SO true about Ben Affleck.

He might be. Much as I love him, Ben Affleck is a better director than he is actor.
So I guess we'll find out!

Yes, I do, but I prefer him as an actor.
“There are no atheists in foxholes, eh?”-Keith Jennings from the Omen.

That makes him soooo much more attractive and appealing. He can be silly and goofy and isn't so vane that he insists on always presenting a perfect image.
I like it. I think it's cool he's like this!

I've seen "aquaman", wasn't so impressed
Well, this is a tomb. I'll make them feel at home

As good a director as he is an actor.
