Dead End On 'Glory Road'

Alright, I get it already. Actors aren't just puppets who read words off paper and act surprised, angry, sad or elated on command. They are living, breathing people with minds that want to make a difference in the world. Whatever.

I happen to think that Ben Affleck could have served the public better giving a good performance in a possible Oscar worthy hit then standing on a platform waving and pointing; "Vote for this guy."

Maybe I sound bitter. Maybe I sound like I hate the guy, but I actually don't. The problem is I saw a glimpse of what BA could be a long time ago. Saw that he could be a contender, that he could be more than tabloid whore playing dressup with Jenny from the block. He's got alot going on upstairs, but it seems over the past few years he prefers to live on the first floor.

I understand that it's hard to say no. Hard not to take the safe road. I'm a little jealous, too. I saw the vault of talent he owns and isn't even using. Too bad you couldn't buy that on Ebay. I'm disappointed too because I was curious to see if "Glory Road" would do for him what "Miracle" did for Kurt Russell. Disney films are kind of like Quentin Tarantino movies, no really, take out the insane action, the language, the violence and the oddly cool soundtracks and they both are like a shot of botox to an aging acting career. Suddenly Ben wouldn't be the mediocore half of the duo, soon people would see what I saw years ago, but he pulled that plug so fast heads are still spinning.

Yeah, it's none of my business, I'm not his manager. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe he isn't going to be having a phone conference a year from now...
"Okay, so let me get this straight, I'm going to be living in a house with Monica Lewinsky, Scott Baio, Omarosa, Anna Nicole, Danny Bonaduce, Jared from the Subway ads and Vanilla Ice? Great, I'll start packing!"
