HURR, I’M BEN AFFLECK…
12.29.08State of Play is a political thriller starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, and Rachel McAdams, based on a BBC miniseries about a journalist (Crowe) investigating the murder of a congressmen’s (Affleck) mistress. Sounds, uh… thrilling. Adapting British shows is a great idea. I mean, they have such amazing TV over there. I can’t wait for the next one, about an older comedian hilariously dressed in drag who gets yelled at by Gordon Ramsey. Can his be-wigged lawyer save the day? Only time will tell! *cue 10 minutes of canned laughter*

I prefer the version with Nick Frost as the Crowe love interest.

“Who told you that?”
“My dog.”
This is the worst post i’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen shit about Chris Kattan before.

I dunno, I don’t see British filmmakers lining up to do a big-screen version of Laguna Beach.
Do Rachel and Helen go ass to ass in this? if not at least let Russell and Ben go ass to ass, please?
I like Rachel McAdams and Helen Mirren.
That’s all I have for this.

A British Political Thriller? I call bullshit – not one of those actors is wearing a powdered wig.
Ben Affleck is playing Tom Collins?
New up.
This trailer makes me nostalgic. Remember newspapers?
Investigating a “muder”?
That’s the worst British accent I’ve ever … seen …
I took Affleck as a blind guy with super powers, but I don’t know if I can take him as a politician. I know I’m supposed to suspend my disbelief, but c’mon Hollywood!
