Some people screened The Last Duel and Ben Affleck "steals" the show?

[potatoehead25]

THE LAST DUEL is a gnarly, shaggy epic, a classic Ridley Scott screen about power serving the powerful and nobody else, with Matt Damon as a French barbarian who looks like a medieval Buffethead and Ben Affleck as a dumb horny lord. I hope it makes a billion dollars

Cool i hate it already. Also sounds like Ben is just playing his dumbass self, how is that oscar worthy?

[thatgum_youlike]

i don't always agree with david ehrlich but his tweet almost makes me want to see this lol

i'm more interested in house of gucci tho

I feel like this movie could be one of those movies you like, but I'm hoping HOG will be one of the ones you just can watch over and over

[tanglespiders]

lol I was thinking "well, if ehrlich loves it, I know it's bad"

[wrathfulgrape]

I was kinda interested but this is the quote which INTRIGUED me. What a great sentence!

Such a different reception to this film than the Venice crowd, it is wild.

Ben Affleck’s performance in THE LAST DUEL is the “no notes” meme personified. Every single decision he makes as an actor seems like it’d be totally wrong on paper, and yet it’s glorious.

[darklitplanet]

[vespertinev]

I need good combat. I've been starved of it and worthy costumes for so long.

[missjersey]

every single one of Ben Affleck’s line readings in The Last Duel is like a little Citizen Kane unto itself.

This is one of the most pretentious things I've read in a while. Cinephiles are just so annoying sometimes lol
