I’m supremely excited for this movie. First of all, I find Ben Affleck to be quite the director. If you don’t like Gone Baby Gone you probably are one of those folks that can’t separate your personal feelings from the arts and wanted to dislike it. Plus, he’s done a lot better of a job with his acting choices and quality of performances since losing his way several years back.
But The Town looks solid. And hard. Check out this phenomenal trailer:

Like many people, Gone Baby Gone was an unexpected delight for me, and I recommended it often. I agree that this next one looks top notch, but for the life of me I can't figure out why Affleck cast such a lightweight like Blake Lively in with this cast? She seems so out of place, even just in the trailer, that I can't help but wonder how much she will drag down the film with her scenes.
why isn't boston (or at least charlestown) among the cities for screenings?
just askin'…
ps. love the site
I think this is gonna be a case of the trailer being better than the movie. Affleck did a solid job with great source material on Gone Baby Gone, and it's clear from that film and this trailer that should he want, he'd definitely have a career as a director lined up. The source material on this flick isn't so great though, and I doubt Affleck can elevate it. Looks like a decent, entertaining night out. As far as the cast? Jeremy Renner is the most exciting guy in there (even, if once again in a trailer, you can't understand what the fuck he's saying). That and Blake Lively's tits.
I had to give him some credit for Gone Baby Gone. It wasn't great, but it was pretty good, even if it felt overwrought and by-the-numbers at some points. I really wanted to hate, because I really hate Ben Affleck, but I couldn't. Since he's also starring in this, it will be easier to hate.
Saw the previews at a movie screening for Fliipped. Excited about this film.
1.Ben Affleck is a good filmaker

1. He's a great actor and director. Gone baby gone was great but the general public and hollywood haven't really given him the credit for it; based on what i've seen, I enjoy his work… yes there has been some mistakes like the movie with J.Lo lol but the rest good… we all have to learn! and THE TOWN seems like he is moving on from that mistake! 2. It's Morgan Freeman! what else is there to say? 🙂 3. MED 4. none yet i hope this one is my first! thank to you and chud.com

how do i join for passes and screenings?
Ben Affleck does a great job by using the city of Boston, and he gets great performances out of the cast. I enjoyed Gone Baby Gone and felt he did a great job.
I think Jeremy Renner looks like he may add an explosive twist to the film.
Ben Affleck brings humanity to his characters when he directs.
Ben Affleck has me most jazzed.
I wear a size XXL and I would take a picture wearing it in public.
I have been to many screenings but no CHUD screenings.
Would like free screening passes to see The Town
Just got the winning ticket in the mail but it's only for 1?! Who watches a movie alone CHUD? :/
