Bennifer Revisited

[Anonymous]

I like JLo, but her love life is a mess. She's been single for like a week and is already rumored to be hanging out with Ben again? Girl needs to get her life together and maybe, for once, spend time living her life without a man.

He has major BDE.

I think he has alcoholic loser energy, personally.

Sometimes those both live in the same space. Ladies who want to use their love to save or fix are drawn to this. Honestly I kind of get it a little, fortunately I lucked out with a stable partner but I know myself and I know I had a soft spot for guys who were charismatic, charming and just a little bit closed/troubled/etc.

I get this too. The deep, brilliant soul with incredible highs and rock bottom lows (plus looking like Ben Affleck did in his prime). Jennifer garner once described it perfectly in an article- she said something like that when things were good with Ben, it’s like the sun is shining on you with all its warmth, but the other side of it is this iciness and loneliness. It’s very easy to get drawn in by the good qualities people like these have to offer, at their best, and want to be there to support them through the worst.

I'm falling off my chair at the idea that Ben Affleck is a "deep, brilliant soul". He's a typical frat boy.

How many typical frat boys do you know who’ve written, directed, and acted in Oscar winning screenplays? He’s an addict, a movie star and all that implies, and probably has emotional issues, but I wouldn’t call him a frat boy.

He wrote Good Will Hunting, for heaven's sake. It's the male equivalent of chick-lit.

She can't keep a man because her beauty at this age is all an illusion and she's obviously a nutbag. Young gals far prettier than her are a dime a dozen in SoCal and Miami.

If he and Damon REALLY wrote that screenplay how come they haven't written anything since? The origins of that screenplay and ghost writers is a bit sketchy...

He's a celebrity, not an actor. The fact that he's an addict doesn't make him deep.
Good Will Hunting is seen as a cinematic masterpiece by the same kinds of people who think The Help is literature.

I dunno, they were both trying to make it i. Hollywood, primarily as actors, and good will hunting put them on the map. They were both immediately a-listers and it was probably too good an opportunity to pass up starring in Bourne identity blockbusters for screenplay writing. They were probably both just busy after between movies and dating. Maybe Matt Damon was the better writer and after his career took off, there was less screenplay writing opp for Ben affleck. Who knows.

You talk about “the help” as if it’s twilight. You don’t need to be Stephen hawking to produce impactful ideas. Good will hunting and the help were great films (and a great book, in the helps case)

FFS, simma down Nancy, PP isn't even necessarily calling Ben a brilliant soul- she is just saying she understands the "type" the draw that some women see to those who clearly have SOME charm or talent or potential or whatever and need saving. Most people, as in almost all of us, including celebrities are basic. Humans are not special. Being cool is not even special. The whole point is even if you ARE a brilliant, deep soul- shitty behavior is not excusable.

Affleck has written since then. The Town, Gone Baby Gone, etc.

I realize I listed two adaptations, but he still played a role in writing the screenplays.

+1. Yes to everything, especially the part about The Help. What a POS book.

This is a silly take. The Kardashians are just celebrities. He co-wrote Good Will Hunting, adapted Gone Baby Gone and the Town, directed and co-produced Argo, and acted in a bunch of stuff, most recently The Way Back (for which he got great reviews). He doesn't have to be your favorite actor of all time, but to say he's a celebrity rather than an actor or that he's basic, is a pretty silly thing to say about a guy with multiple Oscars and a bunch of other awards.
