‘I Killed My Lesbian Wife’: The “atrocious” 1993 movie that haunts Ben Affleck to this dayHindsight is always 20/20, and there aren’t many A-listers in Hollywood to have embraced that sentiment quite like Ben Affleck, which is fair enough considering the ups and downs he’s endured throughout his career. It hasn’t been without its setbacks, in fairness, with Affleck in particular having cultivated a reputation for trashing his own back catalogue long after the fact. Affleck isn’t above blasting his own directorial efforts, either, despite his reinvention as an acclaimed filmmaker. If anything, the distance between the filmmaker Affleck became and the one responsible for this particular oddity probably makes it more fascinating. I knew I wanted to be a director, and I did a couple of short films, and this is the only one that haunts me.”
