Surprise, surprise, Ben Affleck is bitching about the invasion into his private life again. Even though the paparazzi haven't snapped his pic in months (hello, there's Firecrotching going on all over the place!) he is frustrated.

Because his fans are so concerned with his personal life, they get bored with his movies. And inversly, his movies suck so bad, his "fans" are forced to care about the only interesting thing he's done in years: get married and have a baby.

"Nowadays … people pay attention more and more to actors' private lives or personal lives or even the most mundane aspects of their every day lives in a kind of parallel track alongside their movies," said popular tabloid target Affleck.

"Even the movies sometimes become incidental pit stops or commercial breaks in the soap opera of their life. I think that is bad for the actors, definitely, because it makes it difficult to suspend disbelief when you go and see their movie."

Well, maybe Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston should learn how to be better actors.

Because somehow Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, and (dare we say?) Lindsay Lohan manage to engage our belief when we see their movies.
