The Town/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Alas, Poor Villain: Jem's death
  • Award Snub: The film did not get a Best Picture nomination.
  • Complete Monster: Fergie.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Jeremy Renner as Jem got the most praise for acting and the film's only Academy Award nomination, as well as the character himself.
  • He Really Can Act: Ben Affleck restored faith in his acting abilities and Blake Lively proved there is more to Her than Serena Van Der Woodsen. Everyone knew Jon Hamm could already act but this showed he could go all the way.
  • Moral Event Horizon: You know Fergie is a goner when he tells Doug that he hooked his mother on coke and indirectly caused her suicide.
