Ben Affleck thinks “Armageddon“Gave us the” best work “in his Oscar-winning career … just not in the way you might think. Affleck said when we visited Criterion In the video below that his comment track for the infamous 1998 Michael Bay film is iconic in itself.
Affleck noted Quoted plot holes During the DVD commentary for the film and even said that the director did not mind that the space-centric disaster films had a nonsense plot. According to Affleck, Bay even told him to “close fuck” to question the film’s logic.
Affleck has now revealed during his criterion cabinet visit that he is sometimes recognized by the fans more for the comment track than some of his actual actors.
“I was surprised when I heard that Criterion made” Armageddon. “I didn’t think about it as that kind of movie when we did,” he said about the release. “And afterwards now I feel that maybe I am my best work in my career is the comment on this record. People approach me to talk about the comment on this record as much as they do the movies I have been in. And that is because I did not know anything better than to be really honest. But I will not be the case for any of you. Destroy it to any of you who are interested. It is an achievement that I am proud of, and was not meant to be so I am as I am not, it is not that it is, it is, ”
He added, “Criterion, when will 4k come out?”
This has also been on his mind recently. Affleck also recently told GQ That “Armageddon” must have been among the “best DVD comments all the time.” The star “Accountant 2” added that there was not much media education in the 90s, which led to his unfiltered tag.
“By the way, no one said anything to me. I don’t think any of the others listened to it or gave a fan until it was played,” he said. “And I was a little shocked and frightened that I continued there and started to be like … I mean, that’s all true. Everything I said was one hundred percent true, but that’s the point. You shouldn’t go there and tell all by the truth. ”
Affleck added, “I thought, I will make a big Hollywood -action movie and I love it. And yes, during the movie I was a little surprised to discover that they were sometimes so interested in being meaningful. I remember Billy Bob (Thornton) was a long conversation about a scene in the space assignment or he was,” The type I am of the type that does what makes me just in it. Sense, you know what I mean? But fuck it, we don’t have to. And I was the only person who was a bit like, “Okay, I guess we don’t work according to the other rules here.”
Affleck also told us Entertainment every week 2022 that even his children ”relentlessly mock““ Armageddon. ”
But “Armageddon” was not the only movie that Affleck played in among his criterion cabinets: Actor/producer/director shared that he still uses Richard Linklater’s directoring technician from “Dazed and confus” on his own features.
“It was a really wonderful experience for me. It really taught me to do it … because Rick Linklater, the director, kind of invited us to be a writer and participate and write and improvise. He made every actor in it a partner and as a director himself, I have really stuck to that lesson and tried to continue with it,” Affleck. “I remember sending a note saying:” If this movie is produced as written, it would be a massive underperformance. “I had never seen humility in that way, or that kind of approach.”
