Ok, so I just watched the film version of Gone Baby Gone - the fourth installment in the Kenzie-Gennaro series and the only film version of any of the novels. I would say it is a good movie, but for one thing.

I've read the fucking books. The first couple anyway. And what the fuck did Ben Affleck do to Angie Gennaro?

In the novels, she's a bombshell Italian granddaughter of a mafioso on her mother's side, who never uses the family name because she doesn't need to because she kicks ASSSSSS. She doesn't take shit from any man, is a dead shot with a gun, and is an equal, if not superior, partner to Patrick Kenzie.

In Ben's movie, she's a pretty girlfriend who barely opens her mouth to speak.

What the fuck, Ben? Didn't you marry the Alias chick? Now you got her all knocked up you can't let a woman be a badass anymore?


Fucked UP, dude. What fucking year is this, anyway? 1955?
Christ. And here I am with no apron. I need to find my place again before I fuck up and grow a fucking spine or something. Then I might talk out of turn, and you can't have that.

I do not endorse this movie.
