I thought Brody was excellent in “The Pianist” and I thought the movie was outstanding. I do get the sense he’s been wasting his ability since then, but I can’t remember if I’ve seen him in anything except that Coke commercial. (Actually I guess that kinda proves my point). Ben Affleck has made some really awful movies, but he’s been okay in the ones I’ve seen him in. ---

[QUOTE=Miller] I like Afflec, too, but _Daredevil_ was fuckin’ _awful_, man. Pointing out that people on the IMDB liked it only proves I’m right. [/QUOTE] Daredevil wasn’t great, but it should at least earn points for Michael Clarke Duncan’s badass Kingpin. Screw Venom and the Sandman, the studios that did Daredevil and Spider-Man should have worked out a deal to put Kingpin in Spidey 3. It would have been awesome. ---

**Miller** , thanks a lot. Now I have an image of Roger Ebert on TV, reviewing a movie with a duck. EBERT: “I thought Adrien Brody was the best actor in this film. . .” DUCK: “Afflec!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hate-adrian-brophy/419361.md?page=2)
