Despite giving this A+ list mostly movie actor his start and some of his biggest breaks, the A+ list actor no longer speaks to the man who gave him his start. Our A+ list actor has moved beyond all that and thinks of himself as a serious actor and not a person who would ever resort to that kind of role any longer.
Ben Affleck/Kevin Smith
douchey if true
ReplyDeleteToo vague of a blind. They could have had a falling out regardless of Affleck's success. Also, Kevin Smith hasn't done much lately, so what role could he even offer?
ReplyDeleteIm with you.
DeleteAboard with leo and you.
DeleteYou need to be nice to people on your way up, you meet the same people on your way down.
ReplyDelete@Del- amen
ReplyDeleteNot sure why but I don't believe this. I'm not even an Affleck fan but this seems off.
ReplyDeleteWow, if true. I agree 100% with Del Riser
ReplyDeleteKevin Smith would disagree, he's a huge Affleck supporter and he's always said Affleck is a great guy. Plus if he's this kind of ass, why would he be visiting Lohan in rehab?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem to bother Smith.
ReplyDeleteSmith acts like a little girl in situations like this, so I really don't believe it.
ReplyDeleteIf Affleck didn't speak to him, he'd act like he did with Howard Stern.
+Affleck has always been a serious actor, he had an Oscar 15 years ago and worked with Smith after he won it, why the sudden snobbery?
This site is getting more and more unreliable.
Kevin Smith did a Q&A performance at my college a few years ago. During, he shared a story of how Jason Mewes and Ben Affleck were in rehab together. He made it sound like a funny story, but the undertones were that Ben wanted left alone.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge Ben fan (can't wait to see him as Batman), so I hope he isn't that big of a jerk in real life.
if it was true,why does Kevin Smiths fangirl on twitter on how he knows the new Batman??
ReplyDeleteThis is a total lie, as is most of the so-called "blind items" posted here. I think this enty person just makes up lies to go with the latest gossip, i.e., Ben Affleck as Batman. There is no reliability here anymore.
ReplyDeleteIts a gossip site wtf are you people expecting, CNN fact checking or some shit? Chill out.
ReplyDeleteCo sign.
DeleteI think this is kind of true, i remember hearing something like this from kevin on his podcast recently. But just because they may not speak anymore doesn't mean Kevin can't be happy for him? Besides, Kevin is a huge batman fan and I'm sure would be excited with anyone cast to play batman except for bruce willis.
ReplyDeleteKevin will somehow convince Ben to show up in Clerks 3. If Matt will do it, Ben will too.
ReplyDeleteSnoochies!
I think the man who gave Affleck his start was Richard Linklater though.
ReplyDeleteYet, he can talk to Lindsay Lohan...
ReplyDeleteI don't know. I love Kevin Smith, but only in small doses. He's great as Silent Bob because he stfu.
ReplyDeleteBen is busy, working, taking care of the kids etc. Kevin is too. I don't see my friends as much either. Of course, I'm just antisocial.
Nope.
ReplyDelete@jenn, I don't see myself as anti-social. I just tire of the BS people spew.
ReplyDeleteSo I kinda relate to what you're saying
Yay! It's Kevin Smith day! Favourite KS movie anyone? Mine is Chasing Amy, but closely followed by Clerks, because I lived that shit for 10 years and they nailed it.
ReplyDeleteDogma here. That's my religion. Salma Hayeks line about how you people for it all wrong. god doesn't care what you believe in as long as you have faith.
DeleteAnd Alanis as God: GENIUS
I think affleck does have big fat attitude. One of the people who handles his celebrity best is Jerry Seinfeld. He doesnt take any of it seriously, and has said hollywood is like a big high school, with cool crowd and geeks etc. he just doesnt take it seriously, and i like that. Ben shld try that attitude, instead of cultivated paps are ruining my life tude.
ReplyDeleteAuntliddy! 1st Jennifer Lopez & now u think Jerry Seinfeld is a nice guy? You, auntliddy r too nice for gossip! Jerry is a major snob & doesn't have the time ofday for anyone who is not filthy rich.
DeleteIf its true that Ben visited Lohan in rehab, don't be so sure it was a friendly, supportive visit. I'm sure it had more to do with hushing her up about certain things, rather than patting her on the back.
ReplyDeleteThat's if he actually visited her. He's so busy with other things I can't imagine he'd find the time...unless it had to do with something important for himself.
I am a big ol' Kev Smith fanboy and I am calling bullshit on this one. Smith has demonstrated he will happily trash anyone he thinks deserves it (ask him about Bruce Willis sometime) and if Affleck was truly being a dick like this he would get called out for it. A little bit of trivia - Kevin Smith bought his house from Affleck.
ReplyDeleteI absolutly loathe Kevin Smith. I listen to a couple of radio shows and he's been "banned" on one of them because he hogs up the mike and just won't STFU.
ReplyDeleteI blame the Kevin and Bean Show for that. They give him lots of interview time, and he probably thinks he should get the same airtime on my other shows.
I fast forward whenever he's on.
As for this blind, I think Kevin's and Ben's lives are just too busy to make it to get-togethers. I think the (reduced) level of interaction between the two is what they are comfortable with.
When Batman flops Ben will do cameos in Kevin Smith movies happily. And I Robt believe this bs for a second...
ReplyDeletelol at you thinking batman/superman will Flop @sandybrook.
DeleteAgreed, Lucas. I think Kevin Smith has made it known that he will talk some shit.
ReplyDeleteIf Affleck went to rehab, he probably had to make the decision to hang out with Smith a lot less because Smith is an unabashed stoner. It's hard to maintain sobriety and stay on the straight and narrow if you're hanging with a guy that constantly smokes pot. I don't necessarily think there are "bad" feelings, per se.
Smith is a total A. I don't blame Ben for ignoring his childish BS.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't true. Kevin Smith has NEVER been shy about his celebrity squabbles, he's got a HUGE mouth.
ReplyDeleteBen hired half the cast of Red State for Argo.
ReplyDeleteThis is total BS.
Kevin Smith is one of the most overrated director/writers of all time. All his movies suck and are so outdated now.
ReplyDeleteThis is complete BS. Kevin Smith regularly talks about his friendship with Ben in interviews. KS is the first person to public ally call out someone for being a douche. He did it with Bruce Willis
ReplyDeleteKevin is a comic fan boy...basically running his shop & raising his family now...
ReplyDeleteBen needs to remember to still be friends with the people who helped him...or he's going to go back to where he was after the Bennifer fiasco...no one would hire him
So far Chasing Amy is in the lead with one vote...
ReplyDeleteIts all right, take your time, I've got all night! It's Saturday, aka "toomuchwineNight" while hubs plays video games.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard Ben visited Lindsay in rehab I thought he must have wanted to tell her to shut her mouth about anything that happened between the 2 of them, with the promise of a part down the line. It was too random. Just my thought.
ReplyDeleteWhere's VIP to say that I nailed this one! Love kS and as we all know, Affleck was the bomb in phantoms yo
ReplyDeleteHow dare Ben want time alone in rehab. Dick.
ReplyDeleteso Ben Affleck thinks to be a "serious actor" so he's going to play Batman in a Zack snyder movie LOL so logic
ReplyDeleteThis is a BS blind. Affleck and Smith are still great friends in real life. Trying to drudge up more shit for the Batman story line.
ReplyDeleteAll right! Dogma is on the board with one vote also, tied for first with Chasing Amy. Can I hear a Mall Rats??
ReplyDeleteDogma is my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteKevin & Jennifer did a live Oscars podcasts (I think it was for Plus One) and they both sounded genuinely excited and happy for Affleck. Kevin even got emotional when talked about how Ben could've said "Fuck you" to a lot of people who snubbed him after the Bennifer years, but didn't. I gotta call BS on this one, too.
I know there's a Kevin Smith/Affleck/Forgeticus joke in here somewhere.
All the people doubting this, I wonder how much of it has to do with Smith's massive change in the last few years from a Christian tee-totaler focused on his work to a pot-smoking drama queen who can't create anything that makes more than a nickel?
ReplyDeleteI stand for Dogma as well.
ReplyDeleteDogma wins! I thought it was a great movie too. Thanks to everyone who voted!
ReplyDeleteWas talking about this with my BF yesterday. He's a huge Smith fan, listens to all his podcasts. It's true they haven't spoken in years, but not out of animosity, more because they've got other things going on in their lives.
ReplyDeletePoor Justin - when was Kevin ever a tee-totaller? When he was 10?
ReplyDeleteWow, no wonder Affleck got along with Jennifer Lopez for a while. I suppose Affleck is still smarting from "Jersey Girl," though, one of his hugest flops.
ReplyDeleteBut "Chasing Amy" proved to the world that he can act, so you'd think at least he'd be grateful to Smith for that. But yeah, he's riding high now and Smith is in the dumpster career-wise, so I guess Affleck doesn't want the fail to rub off on him.
Kevin Smith has stated that Affleck doesn't talk to him much anymore (but they do e-mail back and forth I believe), but he's not too hurt about it and still supports him.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's because Affleck thinks he's above him, Smith says it's because Jennifer Garner thinks Affleck should grow up and not be as tight with Smith anymore.
