Dear Ben Affleck,

I just watched The Town.  Remember when you made Gone Baby Gone?  Remember how that one was really good and how The Town was just okay?  Remember how your brother Casey was in Gone Baby Gone?  He's a much better actor than you.  If he was in The Town, it probably would have been a lot better.  I was really amazed that you managed to get such underwhelming performances from Chris Cooper and the late Pete Postlethwaite.  It looks like John Hamm and Jeremy Renner just showed up for a paycheck, but I'm not surprised.  They tend to be that way.  Ben, you shouldn't have been in it.  You have the potential to be a good director, but please stop acting.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
This Guy
