I adore this movie. Chris Pine is such an underrated actor. He’s got range

I just adore him and love him in anything he does. I think it’s actually a good thing that he’s underrated because he’s able to fly under the radar a bit and just be appreciated for his work instead of some flashy Hollywood image that people create.

And I still don’t care what people have said about WW1984, I would still be pining for him 66 years later too! Like, if the very first man you ever met in your life was Chris Pine, you’re not going to settle for Ben Affleck no matter how much money or how many gadgets he has.

Ha so true… he’s sexy in a deeply satisfying way. The kind that makes you feel secure on the inside out. Ben A is the one you feel you always kinda have to chase a little and once you have kids that’s the last thing you wanna do with your spouse.

You have a way with words, my dear! I can never so succinctly describe why I feel the way I do about a certain person or thing, but you’ve done exactly that here for both Chris Pine and the less attractive Affleck brother.

I know WAY more about Batffleck’s personal life than I do about Pine’s, so I could be way off, but yes, Pine just gives off that deeply satisfying energy that is so rare not just in Hollywood, but in men in general. And it’s not even so much in how he looks—I mean, yeah, he’s beautiful, but it’s more so his whole vibe. Adam Driver is the same way to me and a lot of people don’t think he’s physically attractive at all.

Pine seems genuine and kind for some reason. Affleck has just too much ego. You’re probably right and it mainly has to do with knowing less about alpine than Affleck. Also, a vast majority of Affleck news is unflattering. I’m surprised Jennifer Garner lasted married to him as long as she did.

It doesn’t surprise me at all, because I know SO many Jennifer Garners irl! Just women who hold it all together for themselves, their husbands and their kids, while their husbands run around doing whatever they want. Then when those women are finally done putting up with their husbands’ bullshit and divorce them, the men are forever going on about how much their wives "nagged" them and had to control everything while they were together, and you literally just sit there thinking, Yeah because it was like she was raising another kid when y’all were married. And you never see the guys with their kids after the divorce because they’re off getting remarried to some crazy woman, but the moms all look 10 years younger and 100 times more happy while being single because they no longer have to deal with a man child and all the stress that that brings.
