Ben Affleck reflects on his varied Hollywood career, suggesting that his DVD commentary for Armageddon may be his greatest creative work. In a Criterion Closet video, he humorously criticizes the film's absurd premise and clichés, highlighting how fans often mention this commentary alongside his films. He shares an anecdote about questioning director Michael Bay regarding the feasibility of the plot, illustrating the candidness of his commentary style. Affleck admits his pride in the unexpected quality of the commentary, prompting interest in a possible 4K release.
In retrospect, now, I feel like maybe my best work in my career is the commentary on this disc.
People approach me to talk about the commentary... as much as they do movies that I've been in.
I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts... and he told me to shut the fuck up.
It is an achievement that I feel proud of and didn't intend to be as good as I now think it is.
