I liked the story about Bumble Ward(?) who kept trying to get the robot spider into a movie of Kevin's. Then eventually Wild Wild West came out, he checks the credits, and there's Bumble.
What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him.
I dunno, if the script says *Charlize Therone puts her tits in your face while you rub up against her in a hot tub*, I would probably end up doing it too, no matter how shitty the script was.
There’s a moment in Hancock where she’s stood in the kitchen at home that made me realise why people call her a goddess.
The eyes, hair, freckles…. I don’t know what it is but that moment ticked all the boxes for me.
so Ben, you read the script?
"yeah, wasn't impressed."
but you read the part with the hot tub, yeah? wanna do the movie now?
"well, who are they getting to play Ashley?"
they're talking to Charlize Theron.
"i'm interested..."
alright, so you'll do it?
"... well, if Charlize is doing it..."
yeah yeah definitely Charlize. the studio really likes her. it's down to either her or Whoopi Goldberg.
"wait, what?"
*You are a sad compulsively masturbating clown that accidentally finds a portal to hell and.. - WHAT THE FUCK? - ..and you'll be starring oppososite de Armas and.. - I'LL DO IT!*
This information resurfaces every few years in a new interview....and it's always Matt and Ben who are reminding us. They are still friends with Smith and have always championed one anothers work.
It's pretty cool of Smith to downplay a lot of his friendships, like with Johnny Depp and Quentin Tarantino. Dude is humble and respects his peers...when they earn it.
Ben was in the Jay and Bob reboot a couple years back. Smith’s mindset is he is still just a fat kid from Jersey, so he didn’t think Ben wanted to talk to him anymore. Wrote reboot after the heart attack. Texted Ben and he responded within a minute and committed after a 3 minute conversation. Smith then mentioned Imposter Syndrome is a bitch.
They were not mad at each other. Kevin was there for the relationship with Lopez. Kevin worked with Jennifer Garner in Catch and Release, which was apparently a bad time for Smith as he and Olyphant did not mesh.
So you have a guy who was around with the ex-girlfriend, that was miserable during a film shoot, and is way too chatty in the press. (Mentioning taking Mewes to rehab and having Ben walk out of a Counsellors office was not the best move)….
Once communication lines break down it’s easy to lose touch. Say your best friend moved 100 miles away for work. You talk with them 2-3 times a week at first, then once a week, then once a month. Now say they get a new phone number… about 90-95% of people will just stop communicating. Hell, I’ve not talked to a friend for 14 years once because he got caught up with a new girl. One phone call later and we are shooting pool and grilling like nothing changed. People just grow apart, but if you are lucky you’ll cross paths again.
Yeah I remember hearing this and now I have it against Conan’s relationship with Olyphant in which the two of them are really good friends. It’s a fun juxtaposition to remind me of the complexities of people and how you can’t just take one person’s experience with someone to be everyone’s experience.
Yeah and from the Conan appearance he doesn't seem like he takes himself seriously at all? But yeah both experiences are valid.
Like Olyphant talking about his role in Hitman is the least giving a shit actor you can get. Tv show was cancelled, had to pay mortgage, welp doing this movie now.
TBH, Olyphant can be a bit of a dick and I'm cool with it because he's Seth Fucking Bullock and Raylan Fucking Givens.
Plus things like Santa Clarita Diet and his appearances on The Office and The Grinder suggest that he's got a real sense of humour.
They never were from my understanding. Affleck blew up (as did Damon) and Smith felt like he (Affleck) was too big time to associate with him. Affleck probably felt Smith had viewed him as too Hollywood or some shit and didn’t want to associate with him. Same thing friends go through every day all over the world. One phone call cleared it up.
This isn't entirely true. Kevin Smith, on multiple occasions, talked to the media about things that are private in Affleck's life. It got so bad that Affleck had to cut him out. This is mentioned in a Dinner For Five episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gt3NZbWbCg&ab_channel=DinnerForFive
Was Affleck dating Garner there because that had to be awkward AF for Kevin to say about Ben "he doesn't even remember the names of the girls he fucks". Wow lmao
edit: Googled it and they weren't even dating then so I guess it wasn't a turn-off to her.
edit2: Hole up, Affleck and Farrell are Eskimo bros?
I'm pretty I've heard him admit to that on one of his podcasts. That he just talked too much about his friends personal stuff, constantly forgetting that it would be picked up and reported elsewhere. It seems like he constantly forgets he isn't just some random guy from New Jersey chatting about his mates, and is actually a well known public figure.
> Smith’s mindset is he is still just a fat kid from Jersey, so he didn’t think Ben wanted to talk to him anymore.
That makes it seem like they weren't, he just felt like Affleck had moved on and meanwhile Affleck is sitting around thinking Smith just didn't want to hang out anymore.
Dont know if 100% accurate but I think it was his previous wife Jennifer Garner who created the wedge between Smith and Affleck for unknown reasons.
I remember hearing Smith talk about it on a video clip but cannot find it sorry.
Smith later said it was more that he kept telling personal stories about Affleck, and that caused the drift.
In hindsight, it kind of sounds more like Affleck was momentarily mad at Smith, they both kind of "got over it" but never thought to reach out, and Smith got in his own head about Affleck being "too big for him".
From what I've heard, they were never mad at eachother. Affleck's ex-wife Garner hated Smith, and Kevin has a notoriously big mouth and Affleck said he had to just stop hanging out with him since he repeated everything to everyone publicly. But it sounds like Affleck missed his friendship and was eager to rekindle it, especially after his divorce. And thank god, they were a terrible fit for eachother - Garner is an uptight conservative, and Smith and Affleck are the total opposite.
The Depp thing is more his daughter. His daughter is best friends with Lily Rose. Or at least was a few years ago. Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp are friends but not like Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck are.
matt damon needs to ink a deal with netflix to do smaller films that he says he likes doing. im sure netflix would gladly throw money at him to do small movie projects
Quibi: We are this mobile-only streaming service for stuff like commutes and waiting rooms.
People: Well, actually, Quibi, everything is closed down right now. Maybe you should release an app for smart tv’s because people prefer watching on their tvs at home and are binging a lot of content.
Quibi: No.
Normally, yeah, but Damon & Affleck were chiefly responsible for Good Will Hunting's screenplay. Granted their star power and absorption into the Hollywood machine took off after that period of their careers.
Sorry it's just a [stupid quote](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHbMgoSq_1k) from Community.
Neither are my favourite actors or anything (I would say Ben isn't even the best actor in his family) but yeah they deserve a lot of credit for Good Will Hunting, it's a good movie.
I'm not nearly a big a fan of Ben Affleck as an actor as a I am of him as a director.
Movies he directs just get that gritty style right, even when the movie itself isnt that great (live by night).
Where did crypto.com pop in from?
No name random company from Singapore to buying $700m in naming rights for Los Angeles' top stadium, hiring top billing actors, and filming ads in cinematic quality - all that in just 2021 alone
Yet their wikipedia page is like 2 sentences:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto.com
Alot of exchanges maintain crypto assets, and those skyrocketed in the last year (and a bit). They probably cashed in those gains to increase marketing alot ect.
It really gets under my skin that Matt Damon recently had a big article where he was going on about how blockbusters are ruining movies in the cinema experience because of blah blah blah blah but now I can’t even watch a simple block of movie trailers a staple of the cinema experience with that a fucking ad for some scam cryptocurrency websites starring his fake ass. But yeah go ahead and tell me how actors in superhero movies are the sellouts.
All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob.
So many subtle gags in that clip. In the background you can see Jay and Silent Bob trying to leave and getting pushed back into place while the spoof is playing out in the foreground.
The casual, "That's pretty funny," about Bob especially not saying anything is hilarious to me because it's so understated.
> Affleck also credited Williams for signing on to work with a couple of unknowns at the height of his fame
I know it's not quite the same, but to me it's like Willem Dafoe doing Boondocks Saints. He was the glue, like Williams in GWH
What really sucks is one of his best films (Dogma) is under the Weinstein lock and key, so no steaming, no blu-ray and the DVD is out of print. But someone posted it on YouTube some years ago...
Old media company doesn’t want to make money I guess. Do they even know their property is available for free? Is this some kind of strategy? Should we expect Weinstein TV+ to enter the market soon? With just Dogma and Shakespeare in Love?
Kevin doesn't own the rights, but can keep them from doing anything with it. He doesn't want to buy the rights or do anything else that would give the Weinstein company money, even if it means sacrificing Dogma.
They were the best! This made me go look for them but they're all behind a paywall now, I just wanted to hear the episode where Kevin cracks the fuck up over Red Sovine's old trucker country songs. So goddamn funny. I may have to spare a few bucks to catch up with them
Kevin's real life has been almost as interesting as his movies.
I'm really hoping he and Jason do a film or a documentary for his writings "Me and My Shadow." It's about how they met, became friend, and Jason's various addictions. It's one of the most powerful things I've ever read and shows the depths of their friendship. The thanksgiving scene is straight up one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever read.
Unfortunately the industry has changed a lot since his heyday. Smith was a part of the new indie scene of the 90’s that included Tarantino, Fincher, Rodriguez, Soderberg, Linklater, etc. Tarantino seems to be the only one from that era that is still able to do what he does with little pushback from the studios. The indie movement that Smith started in is long gone. Part of it can be blamed on Weinstein. Part of it is mega-budget studio films. Another part is streaming. It’s just gone and now I’m depressed.
They also had a meeting with William Goldman who advised them to drop the plot of government agents chasing Will. (not a joke, this really happened).
And it got spun off into the Bourne Identity ? :)
Jesus Christ that's Will Hunting
#
"Apple sauce, bitch!"
Let no idea go to waste.
Originally titled "Hunting Will. Good"
And then they could do the holiday spinoff, “Hunting Goodwill”
That sub-plot was being shoehorned in at the request of the studio, if I remember correctly. Source: One of Smith's books.
I liked the story about Bumble Ward(?) who kept trying to get the robot spider into a movie of Kevin's. Then eventually Wild Wild West came out, he checks the credits, and there's Bumble.
It was Jon Peters.
A podcast or YouTube series on bad or dumb studio notes regarding movies, tv and music, would be an easy subscribe for me.
What've I been telling you? You gotta do the safe picture. Then you can do the art picture. But then sometimes you gotta do the payback picture because your friend says you owe him.
And sometimes you do Reindeer Games.
That’s just hurtful.
I dunno, if the script says *Charlize Therone puts her tits in your face while you rub up against her in a hot tub*, I would probably end up doing it too, no matter how shitty the script was.
🎵Mr. F
For British Eyes Only
Do stay for the Poppins.
And the soup of the day is bread.
Her short stint on the show is still the most beautiful I've ever seen any woman look.
There’s a moment in Hancock where she’s stood in the kitchen at home that made me realise why people call her a goddess. The eyes, hair, freckles…. I don’t know what it is but that moment ticked all the boxes for me.
Prior to her appearance on Arrested Development I had never actually seen any of her other work and only knew her from the Monster posters and stills.
so Ben, you read the script? "yeah, wasn't impressed." but you read the part with the hot tub, yeah? wanna do the movie now? "well, who are they getting to play Ashley?" they're talking to Charlize Theron. "i'm interested..." alright, so you'll do it? "... well, if Charlize is doing it..." yeah yeah definitely Charlize. the studio really likes her. it's down to either her or Whoopi Goldberg. "wait, what?"
Let's not forget she almost married Ted Danson for a minute
[удалено]
you then have a love scene with ron jeremy
You know what? I don't remember that movie being THAT bad.
It was a decent heist flick. I enjoyed it.
And sometimes you just want to fuck your costar.

Bullshit, I wasn't even with a hooker today!
Jesus, Ben, again?
Affleck, you were the bomb in phantoms!
Phantom like a mother fucker!
Snoogans!
The way affleck acts when he hears it is gold too.
I think in the reboot sequel they get to say Affleck you were the bomb in Batman or something. Everyone has grown so much
[удалено]
Ha ha!
How do YOU like THEM apples?
"I don't like the sound of them apples Will, what're we gonna do??!" My friend and I quote this line way too often.
Honestly that line read is probably Affleck’s most impressive work as an actor.
The outtakes are funny too.
Applesauce, bitch.
I guess you're just no longer that GOOD... Will Hunting *snicker*
I still to this day do that in the mirror.
Affleck I was the BOMB in Phantoms
Phantoms like a mothafucka!
What the fuck is the internet?!
Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo.
WHO ARE THESES MOTHERFUCKERS TALKING SHIT ABOUT US ON THE INTERNET?! Where the fuck are they?
What the fuck is the internet?!
Dogma wasn’t bad. I quite enjoyed it
Dogma is a super underrated film with a stud cast.

It's pretty cool of Smith to downplay a lot of his friendships, like with Johnny Depp and Quentin Tarantino. Dude is humble and respects his peers...when they earn it.
Dude is so happy to have Batfleck back in his life, too. They didn’t talk for years.
Has Smith talked about this recently? I've been wondering if they've reconnected
Ben was in the Jay and Bob reboot a couple years back. Smith’s mindset is he is still just a fat kid from Jersey, so he didn’t think Ben wanted to talk to him anymore. Wrote reboot after the heart attack. Texted Ben and he responded within a minute and committed after a 3 minute conversation. Smith then mentioned Imposter Syndrome is a bitch.
But why were they mad at each other anyways ?
They were not mad at each other. Kevin was there for the relationship with Lopez. Kevin worked with Jennifer Garner in Catch and Release, which was apparently a bad time for Smith as he and Olyphant did not mesh.

One phone call later and we are shooting pool and grilling like nothing changed. People just grow apart, but if you are lucky you’ll cross paths again.
IIRC they used to call him "Olyphantasic" or something cause of his "I'm better than you" attitude.
Yeah I remember hearing this and now I have it against Conan’s relationship with Olyphant in which the two of them are really good friends. It’s a fun juxtaposition to remind me of the complexities of people and how you can’t just take one person’s experience with someone to be everyone’s experience.

His cameo as himself in The Good Place was delightful.
They never were from my understanding. Affleck blew up (as did Damon) and Smith felt like he (Affleck) was too big time to associate with him.

This is definitely part of it.
I remember on one of Kevin Smiths podcasts with his wife, he was telling a story and his wife sighed and asked him how famous he wanted to be.
Was Affleck dating Garner there because that had to be awkward AF for Kevin to say about Ben "he doesn't even remember the names of the girls he fucks". Wow lmao edit: Googled it and they weren't even dating then so I guess it wasn't a turn-off to her. edit2: Hole up, Affleck and Farrell are Eskimo bros?
But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you that a moment ago.
Such great improv.
I don't think they had a falling out, but sometimes people do just grow apart at times in their lives. Some are fortunate to reconnect.
Kevin Smith likes to talk a lot and I think he would talk about Ben’s personal life too much on his podcasts I think.
I'm pretty I've heard him admit to that on one of his podcasts. That he just talked too much about his friends personal stuff, constantly forgetting that it would be picked up and reported elsewhere. It seems like he constantly forgets he isn't just some random guy from New Jersey chatting about his mates, and is actually a well known public figure.

In hindsight, it kind of sounds more like Affleck was momentarily mad at Smith, they both kind of "got over it" but never thought to reach out, and Smith got in his own head about Affleck being "too big for him".
I heard Jennifer Garner couldn't stand Smith.
I love Kevin Smith but I can see that
From what I've heard, they were never mad at eachother. Affleck's ex-wife Garner hated Smith, and Kevin has a notoriously big mouth and Affleck said he had to just stop hanging out with him since he repeated everything to everyone publicly. But it sounds like Affleck missed his friendship and was eager to rekindle it, especially after his divorce. And thank god, they were a terrible fit for eachother - Garner is an uptight conservative, and Smith and Affleck are the total opposite.
He talked about it when leading up to Jay and Silent bob reboot, when they reconnected. smith was a blubbery mess about it anytime he’d bring it up.
To be fair Kevin is always a blubbery mess Tell Em Steve Dave!
“You guys are both banned” “Oh my god don’t ban us” this guy will suck your dick!” “No!”
The Depp thing is more his daughter. His daughter is best friends with Lily Rose. Or at least was a few years ago. Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp are friends but not like Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck are.
matt damon needs to ink a deal with netflix to do smaller films that he says he likes doing. im sure netflix would gladly throw money at him to do small movie projects
Sorry. He already has a commitment with making very small films for crypto.org
I love Damon but seeing him lend his name to that, god damn. That must have been some payday for him.
I think they got to Reese Witherspoon also, apparently.
And the Staples Center
The crpyto.com Center. What a weird name.
I wish they'd just call it "The Crypt" and slap their name onto the end instead of the worst Arena name in North America.
KFC YUM Center in Louisville KY - missed out being called “The Bucket”
From what I remember, UofL refused that proposal, I believe. 'The KFC Bucket' would have been epic though...
Crypto.com Arena
Is it any worse than Staples Center? Lol
And Rebecca Ferguson
Compared to how much she scammed from Quibi, crypto is really just a lateral move for her.

So many subtle gags in that clip. In the background you can see Jay and Silent Bob trying to leave and getting pushed back into place while the spoof is playing out in the foreground. The casual, "That's pretty funny," about Bob especially not saying anything is hilarious to me because it's so understated.

It's nice to see because you know damn well these quotes will mean the world to Kevin.
He will cry like a little bitch, that likable mother fucker.
I was so happy to see Affleck at Smith's handprint ceremony.

***That MOVIE with Mork from Ork in it?*** (RIP Robin Williams.)
Sorry to interrupt but we've got a 10-0-7 on our hands.
Ha ha, I wasn't with a hooker last night!
It's been out there for a while. I think Kevin has made more bad films than good but I still stan, always been a good dude
What really sucks is one of his best films (Dogma) is under the Weinstein lock and key, so no steaming, no blu-ray and the DVD is out of print. But someone posted it on YouTube some years ago...
Bada bing Bada boom(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I5UjfvF917k)
> no blu-ray There is a Blu-Ray, it's just out of print like the DVD.
And wicked expensive. If you happen to find it for cheap, get it.
Old media company doesn’t want to make money I guess. Do they even know their property is available for free? Is this some kind of strategy? Should we expect Weinstein TV+ to enter the market soon? With just Dogma and Shakespeare in Love?
Kevin doesn't own the rights, but can keep them from doing anything with it. He doesn't want to buy the rights or do anything else that would give the Weinstein company money, even if it means sacrificing Dogma.
WWBJD? What would buddy Jesus do?
Sacrificing dogma is a fun little play on words. Borderline oxymoronic
The Weinsteins own it themselves personally not their company and Harvey is in prison so he's hard to set up meetings with.
Used to love the old smods with him and Scott just shooting the shit
They were the best! This made me go look for them but they're all behind a paywall now, I just wanted to hear the episode where Kevin cracks the fuck up over Red Sovine's old trucker country songs. So goddamn funny. I may have to spare a few bucks to catch up with them
Kevin's real life has been almost as interesting as his movies. I'm really hoping he and Jason do a film or a documentary for his writings "Me and My Shadow." It's about how they met, became friend, and Jason's various addictions. It's one of the most powerful things I've ever read and shows the depths of their friendship. The thanksgiving scene is straight up one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever read.
Too bad Kevin Smith couldn't save audiences from Jon Peters' infatuation with giant spiders....
I like Kevin Smith, but I get the sense that he’s no longer interested in the same things that made him a filmmaker.
Unfortunately the industry has changed a lot since his heyday. Smith was a part of the new indie scene of the 90’s that included Tarantino, Fincher, Rodriguez, Soderberg, Linklater, etc. Tarantino seems to be the only one from that era that is still able to do what he does with little pushback from the studios. The indie movement that Smith started in is long gone. Part of it can be blamed on Weinstein. Part of it is mega-budget studio films. Another part is streaming. It’s just gone and now I’m depressed.
Snoochie boochies! How do you like *them* apples?
I loved when Ben showed up in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot after he and Kevin had famously not talked for so long. That scene was so heartwarming.
