Ugh, over the past two years he's proven himself to be more than his characterization on Family Guy, but he should really stick with the east coast.

Maybe Shalom...but at least our faces don't look like chewed up bubble gum.

@ David

Yeah your right, it gave me a an LA Confidential vibe while reading the synopsis.

I think unless Affleck feels strongly about this and has that gut feeling where something is just "right" he shouldn't do it, or he'll end up with Martin Scorsese syndrome where if he wants to do something other than crime no one will watch it, go look at how much Kundun grossed at the Box Office, I'm not saying Affleck is as good as Scorsese but you do the same thing for a long time and people will associate you with it.

I haven't seen The Town yet ( hopefully it comes out where I live soon ) but I have seen Gone Baby Gone and I think it's a really good movie just not as good as people are remembering it, but The Town sounds far more interesting to me than Gone Baby Gone.

So...a prequel of LA Confidential, essentially?

I like crime and I like gangsters and I like Affleck. Hmm...

I went from going (years ago)..."OH God...Ben again" -to- "YES its Ben AGAIN!!!!"
It proves that, as low as your career may go, theres always a way out.
and @CheezySpam....DEFINITELY check it out when you can (The Town), its superb. I even tried convincing my friends to go, and only 1 wanted to but couldnt because of $$$, the others said either "i doubt ill be able to anytime soon" and/or "i have absolutely NO Interest in that movie"...so I got sick of waiting to see 1 of (my) most anticipated movies...so i saw it alone, and liked it so much, that i walked into the next showtime of it just to re-watch it right away on the big screen.
Whether you go with friends or alone...its absolutely worth every dime.

ah! I still need to see the Town. I want to so bad and have been close to going several times, but things kept getting in the way.

I'm really happy for Affleck! He's gotten a lot of undeserved shit from people and he's now finally getting the last laugh. I can totally see this guy as the "new Scorsese" if he keeps up this momentum.

I'm glad he's getting more work and that his reputation is getting better, he deserves it.
