When did everything go so wrong?
paul rudd?
There was a time above... a time before... there were perfect things... diamond absolutes. But things fall... things on earth. And what falls... is fallen.
It's quite funny to be honest.
...
Not even his first time being a pariah. Gigli was a rough time for Ben. I bet he thought he was out when he got that Oscar, but the story wouldn't be complete if he didn't ultimately end up back at "rags".
So Argo saved his career?
Islam
not even once
i wouldn't be surprised if he gets arrested or commits suicide
I wouldn't say that. The late 2000s were basically his glow up period, winning an Oscar is something that should cement one's status as an A-lister, so following down again must hurt a lot.
more like the cherry on top, Gone Baby Gone and The Town were well received.
To be fair I don't think everything is terrible for him now. Gone Girl was a hit and the Accountant is getting a sequel. And once he gets a Batman movie without any Snyder touches it'll probably get good reviews.
If he can start off fine, sink, rise up and now fall down again....wouldn’t that mean Ben still couldn’t make another comeback.
>once he gets a Batman movie without any Snyder touches
That's not happening though.
sure it isn't
Is Ben the most Punished actor in Hollywood right now?
He doesn't even look like himself anymore. I refuse to believe that it's only age and alcohol that managed to change his face so suddenly. There were only few months between JL shoot and reshoots and he literally looks 20 years older in Whedon's scenes, it was distracting.
>your brother is outed as a sexual predator
>you're getting fat
>the media shit on you on a daily basis
Pretty sure there are many doing worse.
He clearly had his face touched up between BvS and JL too
He never received an Oscar for best director, not even a nomination
he's thinking of Argo's Best Picture
