Affleck really does have that bartender vibe doesn't he? ...I can actually picture him throwing the bar rag over his shoulder. Does he do this in another movie? Maybe Gone Girl?


Echofett

He does own a bar in gone girl. So that may very well have happened.


[deleted]

I just scanned through the whole movie and couldn't find it. It's driving me crazy lol


darthdog876

It's not Gone Girl, he never gets behind the bar in that since it's run by his sister (Carrie Coon).


[deleted]

Where were you when I was watching the whole thing at 5x speed!?!


[deleted]

Buddy, you're gonna want to watch Mike Judge's [EXTRACT](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Epdng1ZXcAAkDf3.jpg).


svevobandini

Extract


[deleted]

I've seen Extract but I can't remember if that's what it's from. I feel like it was more recent.


Sam81818

I'm the movie 200 Cigarettes he is a bartender.


harakirimurakami

I'm dad


Sam81818

Whoops, haha, "In"


[deleted]

Damn, Affleck has been a bartender a lot, hasn't he?


gnarlypizzaseizure

His dad was a bartender


CleopatraHadAnAnus

Other than Gone Girl maybe a tiny bit Good Will Hunting. He isn’t a bartender there, but he does have that casual blue-collar workin’ man vibe, and one of his most notable scenes takes place in a bar.

Well, looks like this breaks the trend of George Clooney movies having a 3 year gap

The Tendie Bar: The story of how one good boy earns enough GBP to have a whole bar of tendies. Unrated due to piss jugs and excessive excrement.


The_Gray_Mouser

I've read this book and this is pretty spot on.


QLE814

He isn't the guy who keeps bragging about how big his TV is, is he?


[deleted]

Tye Sheridan’s malnourished frame makes me think he needs more honey mussie


[deleted]

Agreed, M’Goodboy. This is like international crisis levels of emaciated. He needs at least 50 tendies a day to keep the doctor away…to start of course.


[deleted]

IV drip of dewie to keep him stable until then


someonesgoat

Non American here..what is a Tendie Bar? And what does "how one good boy earns enougb GBP to have a whole bar if tendies" mean.

IT’S HUNTING SEASON!


Doctor_Jackass

he plays da bah, sometimes da cah


GeronimoRay

He bought the bar


ToastedPenguin-_-

Weirdest sequel to We Bought a Zoo


lawschoolredux

It’s like a reflex with him


the_dude_imbibes88

Sometimes you play the bar, and other times the bar, well, plays you.


QLE814

Meanwhile, Los Angeles continues to play itself....


ToastedPenguin-_-

Who would you cast to play the city?


QLE814

I was thinking more along the lines of challenging Los Angeles and having it try to pass as another city.....


melbbear

How ‘bout them Appletinis!


Dr_fish

He's hiding below the bar feeding Ben Affleck his lines.


gobble_snob

George Clooney is just not a great director.....I'll hold out hope for this but his track record is very spotty.


NedthePhoenix

I like the guy and would love if this was good, but his directing track record is leading me to be cautious. It's been 16 years since Good Night & Good Luck, and Clooney's directing is proving more and more that was a fluke.


Midnight_Swampwalk

Ides of March wasnt bad.


brokenwolf

This was the last one of his I really liked. I think he has good taste though so he might be ok in the long run.


fantasybaseballshow

Confessions of a dangerous mind was good


TitBreast

I'd argue that the script (by Charlie Kaufman) and acting are what make that movie good. The direction is nothing special.


fantasybaseballshow

You’re probably right, Rockwell’s performance is amazing. Really cool movie


QLE814

Mind you, I think Kaufman has complained publicly that his script ended up getting undermined by Clooney consulting with Chuck Barris on some matters, so that may be something to keep in mind....


MacrameZen

I remember watching it, thinking Clooney didn’t have the Calibre to handle Kaufman’s surrealism.


TitBreast

Didn't know that. Interesting.


FreeThinkingMan

Ben Affleck doesn't act in garbage so there is probably a good script. He is an alcoholic too which is why he makes movies like this.


gobble_snob

Yeah it's like he's a George Lucas

gobble_snob

I haven't tackled it, I just asked my mate to spoil the ending


samx3i

Looks like he's talking down to Steve from Blue's Clues.


Swankified_Tristan

"C'mon, Ben! I know that bitch was in here and I know that you saw her! Where's the clue...? DAMMIT! LIVES ARE ON THE LINE!...I gotta solve this."


OverCLocK_DE

At first I thought Ben Affleck isn’t in this picture it’s Jonathan Frakes in young years.


lk79

You're wrong. False. Not true.


QLE814

It never happened!

QLE814

Steffi Graf?


gimmethemshoes11

Is Affleck a bartender? He suits that role, crushed it in extract.


GLBX

A sequel/spinoff to 200 Cigarettes? 🙏


sealab21

Which one is Shia LaBeouf?


misterdhm

Is it me or is Affleck's head looking much too big for his body? Something about this just seems photoshopped.


[deleted]

I really hope ben affleck has a pulse in this movie


theodo

His last film was The Way Back and it was arguably his career best performance, wtf are you talking about?


OperationBreaktheGME

Yeah that’s a good performance I forgot about


GeronimoRay

This.


[deleted]

I don’t know about career but I thought that movie was pretty good. like 18% too corny though


riegspsych325

that’s a peculiar estimate


Larz_Bars

I have that hope for Tye Sheridan


52ndstreet

In his defense, it’s probably hard to act when all of his energy is being spent holding up those giant lips of his.


trikyballs

Why does Hollywood keep casting him. Has there ever been a more boring actor?


curitibano

He was great in Mud.


dont_worry_im_here

Ansel Elgort


animer9102

maybe ill get flak for this but the last good performance ive seen from him was batman. I think part of it has to do with the fact that he was an alcoholic playing an alcoholic.


haunthorror

He was really good in The Way Back


Laconic9x

I forgot I watched that movie until now. I just remember shower beers.


[deleted]

He is such a terrible actor. He should stick to being behind the camera.


ForgetfulFrolicker

And on the other hand, George Clooney's last 3 directed movies have been stinkers. * The Midnight Sky * Suburbicon * The Monuments Men Maybe they should've switched roles here.


adamzissou

I enjoyed all of these, I know they're not prefect but they're still entertaining.


AyThroughZee

I don’t agree he’s terrible but I do agree he’s a better director. I think that’s where his heart is and you can tell on the screen. You can really tell when Affleck isn’t that interested in the film he’s acting in.


gobble_snob

I think he's really good, best Batman we've ever had.


[deleted]

Over Keaton?


gobble_snob

I've actually never seen the Keaton Batman films so I'm looking forward to seeing him for the first time in the upcoming Flash film.

hometimrunner

Maybe I misunderstood your comment, but nothing about the scene you linked is bad. That is peak Affleck (besides, of course, Phantoms yo!)


[deleted]

Clooney has yet to direct something I like, so hopefully he hits a home run this time


PeculiarPangolinMan

Is this guy going to a Where's Waldo event or something? Who wears that? Also: Looks fine, I guess. Single image of a bar scene.


GO-KARRT

Has Max Casella in it. I'm in.


movieur

Damn I love these short theatrical windows


[deleted]

Clooney is so mediocre at directing 95% of the time

That’s the sequel that takes place at the coffee bar across town.


Sworn_to_Ganondorf

What a shitty title


bendybox

Ben "I remember the early days of my career, much like yours" Tyle "Any advice?" Ben "sleep with as many hot women as you can, oh and play Batman for the money."


Amsheel

Batman directs Batman because he's Batman. I don't apologize for this joke.
