These two are great. And Air was a 4.2/5 which is basically excellent. A brilliant movie. Most films are a bit sht atm, this one was exceptionally good to watch, just good vibes/acting/directing.

Sorry but I’ve never understood the hate for Ben. It always struck me as one of those internet things where people just jump on the bandwagon.

  @JaxxStarr81 Oh it is 100% because he is happier, it makes me sad that he’s been sad for so long. I hope he can keep it up.

Always thought it was pretty cool that Kevin Smith gave Affleck his first real lead role and then Affleck went on to also direct as well as play Smith’s hero, BATMAN.
