All respect I *might* have had for Ben went straight down the crapper after I saw some of the more egregious scenes in "Gigli". It's gonna take a few more years for him to live that shit down.
I have to admit I laughed when he said he would throw the Yankee dress on the fire instead of give it to his daughter. Because I'd say the same thing if someone gave me Red Sox paraphernalia for my children. Not that we're currently winning our home opener at the stupid new ballpark in the Bronx. I dub this the Curse of Affleck.
There! I've said it, and I won't apologize. Man made one bad relationship decision (and who amongst hasn't done that?) and he can't be taken seriously again.
Talented, cute, gracious, and damn funny. Haters, check out Dogma, and come back when the tears of laughter have stopped rolling down your faces.

@ellaesther: Yes, I am a Ben-lover really just because of Dogma. The man can be fucking hilarious when he has the right material. And I would hatefuck him into oblivion if we ever met at a Sox-Yankees game. (Assuming he was magically single, that is.)
@ellaesther: ME TOO! Jenny from the block was just a blip on the radar. He was great in Good Will Hunting too, even if it was a minor part. I LOVE BEN AFFLECK. (Casey Affleck, too.)
Oh, Dogma. Why haven't more people seen you? I keep trying to reference the throwing the popcorn back into the box scene, and nobody knows what I'm talking about.
(And I wouldn't even have to hatefuck him. I could just fuckfuck him!). (Presuming magical singleness for us both, but of course).
@ellaesther: The man is growing on me. Dogma is a classic. Extract looks like it might be good. And I kinda loved his Keith Olbermann impression on SNL, even if that skit went on a bit too long.
@ellaesther: To fully put myself in embarrassing territory, I had a big celebrity crush on him in high school. So much so that I wrote him a fan letter. And asked him to my prom. I was hoping he would appreciate my chutzpah. Alas, he did not come, and I ended up going with the guy who ended up spinning around on my friend's hardwood floor post-prom, and he hadn't even drank anything.
Wow, now I'm not even sure which is more embarrassing.
@MediumMac: THAT is brilliant. Well played madam! Though I am a smidge-bit worried about how you're going to get rid of the spouses in order to make this ditty come true....
@hello.kitty: Alas, no, because the voice of the woman who plays Amy (see? I've blocked her name!) is so hideously grating that I can't fully enjoy the film....
@PreposterousHypothesis: Ah, young one. So many other embarrassments await you in life! Plus which, your first story is adorable (if painful... that big a crush can hurt, man!), and the second is fucking funny. May all your embarrassments be one or the other as you move through this life.
According to Facebook, Ben is my celebrity boyfriend. I think I will have him do Rege on our next pretend date. Then I will play with Violet and um, the other one, so that when I become the stepmama they will lurve me.
I really don't need to think about Ben Affleck "doing Regis." Although I'm sure by now someone is turning it into a slashfic, somewhere in the wilderness of the interwebz.
@maneki neko: No, Hollywood definitely rejected Ben for a while post-Bennifer. His projects between got little to no publicity. Even the inital promos for State of Play only showed 2 second shots of Ben with all of the main characters speaking except him.

They have two daughters. I have two sons. Violet and my eldest are the same age, and Seraphina and my youngest are the same age.
Here's the story
of a man named Affleck
who was bringing up two very lovely girls.
Both of them Boston fans just like their father,
the Yankees make them hurl....
Here's the story
of MediumMac
who was busy with two boys of her own.
Mariner fans living together
the only ones in town.
Til one day when this lady went on Facebook
and proved it was much more than a hunch.
That little app would suggest we be family
and that's the way we became the Maffleck bunch.

I'll even watch Pearl Harbor if it's on tv. Don't judge me.
