Affleck's Only Worthwhile Argo Moment

.
A big whatever to Argo's Best Picture win - oh it's a perfectly serviceable thriller for the most part [my review], although I could list some really exhausting cliches in its execution (watching Alan Arkin and John Goodman slowly make their way to that ringing phone was like watching paint dry). But it's biggest fault if you ask me, which you didn't, is Affleck himself, who's just a huge ball of suck smack-dab in the center. Which is one of my main reasons for a zero tolerance policy when it came to that pity-parade he was getting during the awards season - a real director would have looked at that footage and realized what a shitty lead actor he had and done something about it. Anyway he got in shape for his shirtless scene, so props to him for that.

The movie was pretty good, I didn't think it was going to win Best Picture but he looked good in that scene.

Evidently, there was a longer shower scene, but Affleck cut it because he didn't want to be vain. That's a bad director.

It's depressing to me that Affleck is hotter than Matt Damon now. I was watching a clip from "Good Will Hunting" and it totally justifies my absolute infatuation of Damon then. This is someone who is the complete package. He is light years ahead in the acting department than Affleck will ever be. However, Affleck is a decent enough director, he should direct Damon in the future, either something political, gay, or biopic.
