Though, I don't know whether it was Affleck or his girlfriend, Matt Damon

Bwahahahah.

What irks me - why does Hollywood want to make Affleck(QUACK) an action star? He's no Jack Ryan. He's a wuss!

I can't delve into the subterranean depths of the Hollywood mind. It's just too murky down there. But the closest I can come by way of explanation is to offer the opinion that most of the real action heroes, e.g. Sam Elliot, Charlton Heston, Clint Eastwood, etc., are either moving on to other projects or fading into the sunset entirely.

I could think of some roles in which James Woods would shine, but I doubt that the Tinsel Town twits would green-light them.
