Thread: Puts His Brother To Shame

i just don't understand you. i have been to plenty of terrible films in my day but i didn't prattle on about them on message boards because i wanted the actors to refund my money. i GOT OVER IT. if you didn't like the movie i suggest seeing something else. or perhaps taking in a bit of therapy seeing as it's been two years since these films were released and yet you are still so mentally scarred from them. [that was...

Yes, I have seen good will hunting. Decent movie. Little boy affleck displayed his no talent pretty well in that movie.

He *beep* directed Casey in Gone Baby Gone, so what do you think about that?

Just his acting in Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James (especially the latter) destroy anything that Ben has done (with the exception of Good Will Hunting, and that movie was good in spite of Ben's acting... great writing though). Ben should stick mostly to directing and do crap like "He's Not That Into You" to pay the bills if he needs to, Casey's got the acting talent in the family.

Ben Affleck is one of those actors who is capable of giving a good performance as long as he has the right script, co-stars, and director. Casey Affleck, on the other hand, gives a good performance regardless of what's going on around him. He's a much better actor than Ben.

Very true that Casey puts his brother to shame! Ben Afflecks tradmark seems to be a ramble on a bloated piece fancy script that he memorized. He does it in almost every single movie I have seen him in and it gets really old. He is one of those actors that makes me cringe when he talks. Now Casey on the other hand absolutely blew me away in Assassination of Jesse James. Actually, I was more impressed with his performance on my 2nd and 3rd...

Totally agree with sarajw13.Some people just have too much time on their hands.

for me casey is more HOT than ben, i really i'm in love with him and really loved the jessejames and gone baby flicks. the sky is the limit to casey's talent.

i completely agree. Ben is my most hated actor. just because he's such a big name with absolutely NO acting skill. i guess he pulls off the charming stuff, but that's about it. all of his acting is contained within his eyebrows. still, i give him credit for getting to be where he is. and for directing a great movie. Casey, however, is a FANTASTIC actor. i thought his acting in Jesse James completely overshadowed even Brad Pitt's.

I love how everyone's infatuated with Casey after he gets the Oscar nod. I wouldn't say either is a better actor than the other. Casey's gotten the chance to show more range. Ben is typically type cast. Casey has a little brother vibe to him. Ben has a best friend since grade school feel. I find both to be pretty engaging. Arkitekt- The Average Joe, Da-Scribe- The Jackass, Self-Pos- The Diplomat. I'm kooky like that.
