In which role is Ben Affleck not a mistake?

he was fine for his role in good will hunting... and apparently argo was decent, not that i watched it

Argo is really good. Same with Gone Baby Gone(which he directed) and Gone Girl. The Town isn't bad either.

I enjoyed The Town when I watched it several years ago, but I don't remember any specifics on why I thought it was a good movie.

daniel craig definitely isn't the most bond-y bond but i think he's a good fit for the current generation

i feel like his characterization is more gritty and savage compared to the older iterations, which fits into the general trend towards darker/delphian protags
no clue whether this was fleming's original intent or not since i haven't read the novels

well what i was trying to go for was "ambiguous main character who struggles with darker elements" but whatever i guess that word doesn't mean what i thought it meant

I think Craig's brutality and cold steel attitude reflect the difference between now and the early post war period. He's less "renaissance man" and more world class professional.

I think I read somewhere that the reason bond movies are so dark and gritty is because of the autism powers movies

I came to this thread to hardly use my brain and now you're throwing this shit at me, really?

you better have accidentally typed "autism powers" movies.. Austin powers movies are great.

u suck at google
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=define delphic
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=define delphian

the more i think about this the more i feel like i shouldn'tve used that adj o well

i cant tell if this typo is intended or not because it would make sense either way.

it says "(typically of a pronouncement) deliberately obscure or ambiguous."

protagonists are not pronouncements

when i google "delphian protagonist" no one uses it like you, therefore you didn't use it like it's normally used

Knowing jasper it was intended because jasper is pretty much wrong about everything.

Knowing more or less what Delphi oracle was, which that word originates from, your use of the word sounds rather wrong.
