Boiler Room

The recruiting scene with Ben Affleck is one of the finest moments of bad acting in the history of film.

Awesome movie.
 
Certainly.
I love the sentiments it gives towards showing how worthless and leachful people are who contribute nothing to society but make tons of money.

Opposite Vin Diesel he looks like a decent actor. Then again, Vin Diesel would make Pauly Shore look like a decent actor.

i havent seen it

but if it has ben affleck i cant imagine it being anything else
 
Awesome movie. I actually thought Vin Diesel and Ben Affleck were decent in it, and Ben Affleck's opening speech was just an awesome script. Though he was probably too much of a pretty boy for that role.

His speech was so horrifically acted! It was laughable.

I said it was a good script, not good acting. 🙂 Like I said, he was too much of a pretty boy for it.

Still though, I think he could have done much worse.

Actually, it was perfectly casted and acted. You've just obviously never sat in on that type of situation in real life. I unfortunately have.

The thing with Boiler Room is that it tries to be Wall Street and Glengarry Glen Ross at the same time and fails miserably. It's good though, and a lot of it is pretty real, but IMO it falls short.

I don't care what experience you have, that recruiting seen was some of the worst acting I have ever seen, even for Affleck. He is just downright terrible in that movie (and most others as well). And I agree, if you haven't seen Wall Street, go watch it.

The script and/or context have little to do with Affleck's acting ability. He can't act. That scene is a perfect example. It's hilariously bad and the crowd I watched the film with agrees with me.

And BTW, you have absolutely zero idea of my life outside these forums, so please take greater care when making assumptions.
