I know this must have been brought up before (I only started coming on the boards a couple days ago), but did you guys talk about how much the likeness of Ben Affleck was to Capt Grey in Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within? I got the impression they originally wanted Ben to do the voice, but Ben copped out and was replaced by Alec Baldwin. It was kind of weird, because when I was expecting a Ben like voice, I got Alec's scruffy old man voice. I don't think Alec fit the part, but then again, I didn't really enjoy this movie too much. It was okay, but not great.
I was wondering if Ben, Kevin or Matt commented on the movie about it (that's if they saw it). I remember Roger Ebert mentioning it in his review before I saw it. When this character (Grey) came on the screen, a lot of the people chuckled, but that could have been because I spoke out, "Hey, it's Ben Affleck"....
