Affleck tries to justify Gigli's failure

Ben Affleck says the tabloids are ruining people's perception of actors. At a press conference for Hollywoodland at the Venice film fest, Affleck said, "I think more and more people pay attention to actor's private lives.. It makes it difficult to suspend disbelief when you are going to watch their movie because really what you are thinking about is whatever you have read about them in a magazine rather than the performance they are giving and it makes the actor's job harder." The new dad also thinks "the movies become incidental pit stops and commercial breaks in the soap opera of [an actor's] life."

I totally agree with him. After the stuff Tom Cruise has done I'll never ever be able to forget it's TC on the screen instead of whoever he's supposed to be in the movie. Therefore I'll never watch one of his movies again. He's done that to himself but many actors try to keep themselves private so they won't be overexposed but the tabloids won't have it.

And it gets worse every day.
