I am generally not a fan of either Ben Afleck or his boyfriend, Matt Damon. But Syriana changed my mind about Matt and maybe woodland will change my mind about Ben. BTW, would somebody tell those guys it was Holly-Woodland (pr: woodlind), not Hollywood-land! Ditto. I am generally not a fan of either Ben Afleck or his boyfriend, Matt Damon.

The most bizarre thing about all this though is to find myself actually looking forward to a Ben Affleck movie.

Not sure why anyone would feel this in anyway potentially tarnishes Superman.

And that's a surprise to them? That DC didn't want their premier character associated with a lurid murder conspiracy? Seems awfully obvious to me. I think I'll make a movie about the life of Lynda Carter and put forth a theory that she used to kick kids while dressed as Wonder Woman: I think DC will really go for that! “They have a proprietary attitude toward Superman’s image and were leery about what we were doing…”

But I don't see any mention of the book or its authors Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger in any of the (admittedly perfunctory) looks I've taken at the movie credits and materials...
