The Grand Bizzarre: Ben Afleck?

So ever since Ben Afleck directed his first film, "The Town", I've seen it probably 5 or 6 times. You're probably thinking, "Wow, that's really fucking weird", or, "This kid is a die hard Ben Afleck fan". Actually, I did see it in the theaters, and it wasn't that bad; I'd go as far to say that I liked it. But the remaining 5 times I've seen it were completely accidental, and frankly, fairly unwelcomed. My roommate Zilla downloaded it not too long after it hit theaters. Either I was extremely hung over in the morning and the movie came on, or our free HBO 3 month trial would play it. Over and over and over. After it's release I've accumulated more than a normal amount of viewings.

It makes me wonder, did Ben Afleck have any part in the making of the Grand Bizarre? This movie has also logged an uncharacteristic 6-7 views in my memory banks. It's not a bad movie, its ok.... but i just don't want to watch it that many times. John Kutcher left his copy of the movie at my house, and ever since it's like it's been on repeat. I can't blame John, or HBO. People want to watch these films at least once. Yet somehow I'm the poor soul who has to sit through them multiple times. Just like I dont want to watch Ben Afleck in two sex scenes, I dont want to watch the incredible build-up for simons Red Bull pipe.

Maybe the title is a bit leading itself...it truly is "Bizarre" that I've seen this movie so many times.

Congrats Ben, you did it.

I PERSONALLY ENJOYED THE TOWN, WHAT DID YOU NOT ENJOY ABOUT IT? I PURCHASED GRAND BIZARRE AND I ALWAYS JUST WATCH LJS, THE STEPT BOYS AND LEIGHS SEGMENTS. I USUALLY JUST SKIP THE OTHER SEGMENTS.

Dear Steve,

Lay off the kratom, or save some for me. Both will work, and actually the first will help the second.

Jah blaze.

I appreciate a good, well written story. That was great. This reminded me how much I love the 3 month free trial of HBO, but also how sad I get when that clock runs out. Ben Affleck also looks creeping similar to an acquaintance of mine whom I want to punch in the face. Fuck him.

I bet Andy only smokes the weirdest semi-hallucinogen moldy food scraps that he can scrounge up off the bottom of Will's shoes and from in between Cole Drexler's teeth.

Medicinal Uses:
Kratom is often used to treat diarrhea. It is known to prolong sexual intercourse.

My god this sounds like my type of party.
