Despite some horrible films in the past, I've always thought Affleck is a good actor, especially in films like Good Will Hunting, Hollywoodland, State of Play and The Town.

That they feel superior their husbands impregnated them and pity the childless couples. I dealt with those miserable, self entitled women who look down on those who don't have children several times.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-1129376224031994272014-08-07T20:56:02.927+02:002014-08-07T20:56:02.927+02:00No problem, blogger is acting funny sometimes :)
...No problem, blogger is acting funny sometimes :)<br /><br />Oh man I'm glad Cooper didn't get the role, Affleck is such a better choice. I think there is something more disturbing about him. <br /><br />I read the recent interview with the author and apparently the ending is a lot like in the book if not the same, the third act is a bit different but the end results are rumored to be exactly like in the books.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-21356869635542009802014-08-07T16:41:20.229+02:002014-08-07T16:41:20.229+02:00Besides 'Interstellar,' 'Gone Girl'...Besides 'Interstellar,' 'Gone Girl' was probably the best trailer I've seen all year. Hands down. I know trailers can be misleading, but I'm hopeful for this film b/c of Fincher. If Fincher's previous work is any indication (Zodiac, Seven, Social Network, Girl with dragon tattoo), then Fincher is really in his element with this film. I can't say the same for Ridley Scott. I know Scott has directed lots of non-scifi films, but many of Scott's film are action oriented (Black Hawk Down, GI Jane, Kingdom of Heaven, etc). So IMO, 'The Counselor' really wasn't a film that fit Scott as a director. I think that was part of the problem. It takes a certain type of director to translate Cormac books to screen. Scott is not it. However, he does action and scifi quite well. <br /><br />As for Gone Girl, the casting is flawless. I rarely say that for a film. Affleck and Pike are just perfectly suited to play these roles. <br /><br />SPOILERS***<br /><br />I like your description of Amy. She was an extremely complicated character. Probably one of the best written characters I've read. Nick was definitely a jerk, but I personally thought that Amy was somewhat of a sociopath...in her own way.<br /><br />I don't agree about the pregnant women thing. I think if someone feels superior to others they feel that way regardless of their pregnancy. I know I didn't feel superior. I felt miserable. Glad the baby was finally out ;) msmariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486729990673366769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-59987446561440837532014-08-07T13:53:31.978+02:002014-08-07T13:53:31.978+02:00I am sorry if you get two comments from me...I thi...I am sorry if you get two comments from me...I think my computer ate my original comment.<br />I loved the book Gone Girl until the end. I hated that ending. But I can see why Amy would be a part all of Hollywood would want because she is such a dark and twisted character. I was underwhelmed with Affleck's casting at first because I thought, Hollywood stop hiring the same 5 people. Was Bradley Cooper too busy? However, I think he will be perfect as the guy who has a face you want to punch because I often feel that way about him onscreen (I am sure off he's a nice guy)...I think he will do well as Nick. The author did write the script and supposedly changed the ending, which might be a good idea because I did not like the book ending and it would be nice to be surprised as to how it ends. I think a film like this is perfect for David Fincher and I hope to be able to see it in the theaters!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906654232447339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093895270912854670.post-11834754891046173602014-08-07T06:06:35.389+02:002014-08-07T06:06:35.389+02:00Thank you!

I read the book and thought it was terribly written. The book read like the author knew it was going to be adapted to a film. So hey, maybe that'll work here. It was a bore and a pain to have to read through.<br /><br />The combination of that and the god awful characters made me not want to be remotely excited about Gone Girl. However, David Fincher, Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross and Ben Affleck have got me a little bit more interested, I think is the word.
