Blake Lively - The Town #6: "..the clear standout – at least in terms of the departure from her normal type of role – is Blake Lively." - Page 4

Short story... I'd been working on a startup for awhile, staring at countless screenshots of Blake Lively as a character in Gossip Girl and never thought anything of her aside from another hot blonde on TV.

Then I saw The Town (where I at first confused her with Sienna Miller). WOW.

Not only is she stunning but that girl can act! Now I'm in love! Thumbs up!

Blake brought her A game in this movie. But then again all the cast did.

True! Affleck was awesome as was the other lead (guy from Hurt Locker)... don't even get me started on this movie - I think it's basically an updated "Heat" for our generation! One of the best movies I've seen in years for sure.

Jeremy Renner

. He's got an Oscar nod for his role, that shows how good it was.

I agree about Heat. It just bugs be when people used that as a reason to dislike the film, I mean, can't people just like them both?!?

After watching the Town, I watched Heat and the similarities are obvious. I prefer Heat a little more though, only because I didnt connect with Doug/Lucy as much as with both couples from Heat. I replayed and got teary eyed at that scene where the blond guy drives up to the basketball court near Ashley Judds house etc.

I think that's what was really missing from The Town - I didn't feel any chemistry between Ben and Rebecca. Despite that it's still a really great film.

sprezzatura · 02-25-2011, 12:28 PM

I think that Doug/Claire had more of a cutesy relationship/chemisty than one of those 'true love' sort of romantics, which are normally the romantic archetype in hollywood films.

It might just be good to change the typical lovestory a little bit!

Most menacing florist

I'm sure he did a bang-up business in casket sprays, but I'd steer clear of the florist played by the late Pete Postlethwaite in "The Town."

Aw. That's nice.

ohsolively · 02-28-2011, 12:44 AM

I was kind of disappointed that more of the cast wasn't there to support J. I think Ben should have atleast been there too. But they didn't miss much cos it was kind of a snooze

The Town kinda got lost in all the late releases of independent movies this year; any other year it would have gotten more Oscar nods. But atleast it still got recognized as a great film and Jeremy got another nod.

sprezzatura · 02-28-2011, 02:31 AM

I haven't even seen any pictures of Jeremy at the Oscars

.

**airali_glo** · 02-28-2011, 04:46 AM

maybe they didn't invite him even if he was nominated?
Who won in that category?

oh, I finally buyed the dvd! Just two extras (I took the normal version, not the blu-ray one), two "documentaries": "The real residents of the city - Discovering the people of Charlestown" and this other one: "Ben Affleck: director and actor - Portrait of an Oscar award winner"

I don't think there are deleted scenes, but I didn't saw it yet. I just read what is written on the dvd box

sommerregen · 02-28-2011, 10:59 AM

Too bad he didnt win..and that none of the castmates went! :/

That would suck if you didnt have the deleted scenes!

Especially since there's more Blake!
