It’s pretty interesting overall, he’s mildly gossipy, but almost people are only picking up on (what else) the James Gunn and Joss Whedon stuff.

Good lord.
What happened to his face and voice?
His face is all botoxed and tightened. And his voice sounds like Harvey Fierstein.
Sad.

[quote]Say what you want, it is my highest-rated career movie. I’ve never had one that went from nadir to pinnacle. Retroactively, it’s a hit. All of a sudden I was getting congratulated for the bomb I’m in. But I was going to direct a Batman, and [Justice League] made me go, “I’m out. I never want to do any of this again. I’m not suited.” That was the worst experience I’ve ever seen in a business which is full of some shitty experiences. It broke my heart. There was an idea of someone [Joss Whedon] coming in, like, “I’ll rescue you and we’ll do 60 days of shooting and I’ll write a whole thing around what you have. I’ve got the secret.” And it wasn’t the secret. That was hard. And I started to drink too much. I was back at the hotel in London, it was either that or jump out the window. And I just thought, “This isn’t the life I want. My kids aren’t here. I’m miserable.” You want to go to work and find something interesting to hang onto, rather than just wearing a rubber suit, and most of it you’re just standing against the computer screen going, “If this nuclear waste gets loose, we’ll …” That’s fine. I don’t condescend to that or put it down, but I got to a point where I found it creatively not satisfying. Also just, you’re sweaty and exhausted. And I thought, “I don’t want to participate in this in any way. And I don’t want to squander any more of my life, of which I have a limited amount.”

He really IS so whiny. It's such a pathetic, unattractive trait in a 50-year-old man. He's had every advantage in life, everything he could ever dream of, three healthy kids, married to a beautiful, smart woman, he has been extremely rich since his twenties, and he's still fucking whining and complaining. Why can some people just never muster up any gratitude for the many, many things they have? He's one of the luckiest people in the entire world and he whines like he's some kind of victim.

He could still get it. He's had very good "work" (take note, Madonna).

Meh, I don't think he's whiny.
I think he's just saying he doesn't want to stand in front of a green screen spouting garbage.
We probably all have some equivalent in our jobs that makes us go, "Wow, this fucking sucks and it's making me want to jump out a window," and he wants to stay away from that.
Those of you who don't feel that way have probably already made the smart decisions to get to a place you want to be. He just hasn't, or hadn't, yet.

He seems thoughtful and plagued by anxiety. Apparently his dad was such a raging alcoholic that he drank “all day every day” and later lived in a rehab facility for years. No wonder Ben battles alcoholism himself.

He reminds me of my dad- rich, spoiled, jock who feels he is an intellectual. WASPy/Scottish, but overemphasizes what little Irish heritage he has as some sort of Get Out Jail Free card for his self pity.
He is a Sullen Cunt.

R13. That was pure "I hope I can make enough money to NOT have to spout garbage in front of a green screen anymore and then go back to directing".
Isn't directing what he's actually interested in? And his own little projects where he can cast himself.
I would do a lot of shitty things to earn the millions I would need to sit back and do whatever I want. Which ideally would have been to retire when I was 30 but sadly nobody was lining up to hand me millions of dollars.

R2 God, you bitches are the WORST at detecting plastic surgery. Look at that forehead in R3's link. Does that look like a botoxed forehead to you? 9/10 when someone here accuses someone of a face lift, they've actually just gotten old, and that's why their faces look different. Just like everyone here who said Helen Hunt's gotten all these facelifts when she looks like the damn crypt keeper.

[quote] How did you get Viola Davis?
[quote] Begging. I’m sure it was because I said, “Michael Jordan wants you to play his mom.” It certainly wasn’t “Ben Affleck wants you to be in his movie.” She’s not comfortable with sycophancy or obsequiousness. You can tell it chafes her. I just treated her with respect, which is to say, “When you’re ready, let me know. We’ll be here.” I want what she does in the movie to be a surprise — because as I started writing and working with Matt, and Jen [Lopez] gave me some great lines too — it just started getting better.
He loves me, and you should too.

Ben has had the severe trauma of being Circumcised in his early 20s, I still want to hear the full story from Ben himself, but he is so negatively affected by that experience, he refuses to talk about it...
