Affleck said he wasn't sure his efforts would sway any votes, but he believes the entertainment industry can help spark interest in the election. "Really, the celebrities are the ones who have something to lose…. We like people from both sides of the aisle to come see our movies and concerts," he said. Still, he called Hollywood's heightened political interest "a healthy thing" and said it should not be discouraged.

When going to your movies and concerts mean you turn around and spend your mega billions to endorse your political point of view at my expense... hell will freeze over before I see your movies or go to your concerts. You "celebrities" better hope against hope that my sentiments aren't contagious. Meanwhile, I am hoping and praying we the people black ball you over paid big mouths.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure that anyone who is intent on going to see a Ben Affleck flick-a very minute segment of the population, I'll grant you-isn't going to be dissuaded by the hue and cry of conservative activists.

The notion that you believe Ben Affleck is a good actor, much like the contention that "Ichii the Killer" is a cinematic masterpiece, is something that cannot be dislodged from a person's mind through either subtle or overt intellectual appeals.

The person who likes Affleck's work simply has no aesthetic judgment, and there's not much that you can do to change his or her mind.
