I really like the idea of this Esquire profile of Ben Affleck- namely, that the tabloid bullshit of the past ten years should in no way blind us the fact that Affleck's a pretty damn good actor, and not a bad director either. But it's just... the piece is so horribly written that I had trouble getting through it. I mean, who cares what color Affleck's car is?
Wow. I didn't count, but I'm guessing there weren't more than four complete sentences in that entire article. If those Microsoft Word green squiggle lines for crimes against grammar showed up on websites, the thing would probably be 3/4 underlined.
