Up for discussion: I would argue The Town was more a success due to casting than directing.

Posted by P (aka JenBro) Aug 23 '13, 04:43

*shrugs* Afflec has shown - doing a Boston movie is a walk in the park for him. I don't think it stretches him as an actor - or a director - to get it right because it's at his core.

The acting (sure - of Ben) and others in the film - made that film.

IMHO

"the town" is a movie about a lot more than boston. is bank robbery at his core? -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 05:59 11
- It's about a conflicted man. - Mel Profit Aug 23, 06:01 10
  - agreed. It just happened to grow naturally in that landscape. -- nm - loosi at home Aug 23, 06:09
  - and about loyalty. the only thing that was particularly bostonian was the geography, the bridge. jen, you need to watch it again. - amanda Aug 23, 06:03 8
    - the bridge is important... - Mel Profit Aug 23, 06:12
    - I need to watch it again too. Loved it. And frankly, I really like Affleck as the choice for Batman. - Jim Aug 23, 06:06 6
      - I agree with everything you say here. -- nm - amanda Aug 23, 06:08 5

        I listened last night and this morning (on the bus. on my last day of summer commute). I'm kind of intrigued but some of the new stuff just sounds so - amanda Aug 23, 06:33 1
        
        I hate, Hate, HATE (spoils) - Jim Aug 23, 06:39
IMHO, this is the chicken/egg discussion . . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 23, 05:57
I thought that was his best directing job. I would've preferred him to direct the Batman/Superman movie. -- nm - Buzz Aug 23, 04:53
combination. The story was really good as well. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 04:51
