Sarah won't talk politics. Could it mean she is Republican like her husband?

It could just be that Ben is a jerk. Will Ferrell is just as left as Affleck and she did Anchorman with him and I hadn't heard anything she said. Of course, there are some people in Hollywood who would overlook the jerkiest of behaviors for politics.

Affleck may be getting work now, but his career is in decline. He's become a punchline, which is worse than not getting work -- and he'll have to do a "serious" role to get work as he ages.

She might not be a liberal.

Seasons 1-6 are. 7 is going to be released in November (moved up from February). A better SMG investment than a pair of Grudge tickets, an overpriced bucket of popcorn and a couple of cokes...

Do you know who Sarah Michelle Gellar is voting for? Neither do I.

I certainly know for whom Ben is voting and that's the point.

Ben Affleck is supposed to make a movie like Daredevil, which could make money with an unknown in the role, into a blockbuster.

And there have been far better Marvel movies, Daredevil and Hulk can be forgotten.

She's properly humble about how much she knows, has a work ethic, and believes in morality. Anybody think that fits Michael Moore democrats?

$102M??? Hahahahahah!!!!!! That's peanuts for a major motion picture! The film probably cost that much to make.

Dreaded red-x!
She may be liberal, maybe not. She just seems to not be totally full of herself and shooting off her mouth.

No, I'm pretty sure that Christina Applegate (who has been in a rather impressive series of flops since Married with Children) has established her lib credentials. She probably just doesn't like him because he's a jerk and/or crappy actor.

The Japanese version of the Ring (original) wasn't nearly as good as the American version (surprise!).

I'll definitely see the latest version. It looks good and spooky.

I think it made around $106 million. Daredevil was my all-time favorite comic book growing up (Frank Miller was the best), but Affleck completely butchered the role for me. I absolutely loathe and despise the s**thead for being such a dismal actor.

Sheesh, and I thought because he was tight with Silent Bob, he was supposed to be at least familiar with comics.

Seriously, why do people keep paying this guy to star in movies? Between this and Gili, anyone who goes to see Ben Affleck in another comedy should be gassed to death in the theater.

I dunno. Both American and Japanese "Ring"s were not as good as the book (Where the lead character is a man and the dead chick is actually a hermaphrodite). The book Ring was great but as the trilogy continues (loop, birthday) the story gets really gay. Juon (Grudge) is stupid in Japan and America.

That being said, the Japanese Ring is slightly better because of the music and the fact that it is just scarier.

I enjoyed Daredevil quite a bit. I thought they did an excellent job with it. The truth is that Daredevil is about as popular a comic as the Hulk is. Neither were the huge success that Spiderman was. I thought Affleck was just fine. IMHO, he was as good as any other leading man in Hollywood might have been.

Matter of fact, he will bring him back for the spinoff "Electra" which has just announced the contracting of its cast.
