Congrats AcesOfSamSpade by Horace Cox	Feb 6th, 2008 01:43:28 AM
Job well done. Now that this goal has been accomplished, you can set your sights on actually kissing a girl.
At least its Casey not Ben by ScreaminBrains	Feb 6th, 2008 01:44:58 AM
Ben is only good in small doses. very small.
A mobster that can't remember anything? by skywalkerfamily	Feb 6th, 2008 01:46:12 AM
So, uh, how does he remember he was a mobster?
Harry. by L.H.Puttgrass	Feb 6th, 2008 01:48:04 AM
That animation is just not right. You know it. I know it. The American people know it. So please stop it.

The hardest thing for AcesOfSamSpade... by Napolean Solo	Feb 6th, 2008 02:21:22 AM
Was telling his father he is a homosexual.
Well, I'm glad Casey Affleck's in it. by Knuckleduster	Feb 6th, 2008 02:38:03 AM
But what are the chances of this being any good? The last good period 'noir' we had was L.A. Confidential.
SHIT NAME by Spoiler_Man	Feb 6th, 2008 04:08:23 AM
"Yeah, i work for The Kind One." Can you imagine a gangster actually saying that?!
Sounds cool by EvilGeek1	Feb 6th, 2008 06:29:34 AM
We're due another Touch of Evil. Let's hope it makes the grade.
The Kind One: The Brave One II by DarfurOnTheRocks	Feb 6th, 2008 07:44:51 AM
Jodie Foster goes on another rampage after she decides to go into a dark tunnel at night. The cops look the other way....
Casey blew me away. by scudd	Feb 6th, 2008 08:00:36 AM
His performance as Robert Ford was one for the ages, and if he doesn't win the Oscar, it will just confirm what we all already know: the Oscars fucking suck.
Amnesia is super corny by cowboyone	Feb 6th, 2008 09:13:30 AM
And what the hell kind of name is the Kind One for a mobster? This flick sounds queer.
good for Casey by purplepurple	Feb 6th, 2008 10:07:39 AM
He's the talented one
It sounds like... by jambone	Feb 6th, 2008 10:14:58 AM
An R. Kelly video
Casey Affleck... by casinoskunk	Feb 6th, 2008 10:31:16 AM
would be fantastic as Frank Einstein, aka Madman

Amnesia is a classic device used in many Films Noir, and just because he is a mobster doesn't mean he can't be kind. The Kind One sounds like Noir title. There are lots of "The" somethings or other from the genre. The plot synopsis above also sounds like a classic noir plot. Derivative but it doesn't really matter given the genre.

Nice. lol
Doesn't sound good... by Tourist	Feb 6th, 2008 05:42:20 PM
...But I mean, how many descriptions of noir films sound like anything but stock standard noir flicks? The dude had a hand in One False Move, which didn't sound like much at all, yet the finished work was great. I don't know about Affleck either. He's just been that dude who got into films cause his brother was famous in just about every movie he's been in. But then he was good in Lonesome Jim, and out of nowhere was AMAZING in Jesse James.
The Oscar... by Tourist	Feb 6th, 2008 05:51:36 PM
...Will go to Bardem. The role he was given was more of a leading role, but so was Afflecks. It's like an impossible choice anyway. They were both amazing. NCFOM made a bigger impact though, Bardems character was more jump out unique and he's been up for awards so many times before. Plus, as evidenced by the way they handled NCFOM and TWWB, Miramax/Paramount Vantage gave a shit about their films. Unlike Warner Brothers who treat Jesse James like a red headed step child. Dicks.
Seems the Afflecks can do no wrong right now by Han Cholo	Feb 6th, 2008 07:13:05 PM
With Casey coming into his own as a seriously talented actor and Ben opening people's eyes to his directorial skills, I think they've found a niche for themselves.

...in the right measure....
"What did the bad man do?" by DonnieDorko	Feb 7th, 2008 06:51:26 AM
He punted Baxter. BUT I really don't get why Afflecks part in TAOJJBTCRF is not considered a leading role?
