Conversations with President Obama: Ben Affleck

BEN AFFLECK: Mr. President, it has been an honor to campaign for you. I truly believe you will bring a new vision to this country. And a return to prominence for our wounded economy. Your passion for change, and confidence in the American people’s ability to bring about that change, is inspiring. I am forever enlightened by listening to you, following you and in being in your presence. I look to our future, and, for the first time in eight years, feel hopeful. I owe that to you, sir.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Ben. Thank you. That means a lot. I promise to do my best… to… fulfill your dream of the future and make this country… a safe, prosperous place for Violet and young Serafina. America is an ever-changing mosaic of values and ideals, blurry from the noise of its power. Together we can work to bring clarity… to that that picture.

And may I also add, Ben, you were the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

Just A Reminder of Who The Jay Is Voting For…

Ben Affleck For President!

See no movies, watch no TV, read no internet gossip blogs, listen to no radio, discuss nothing in front of the watercoolers, make fun of no celebritards, tivo not the morning talk shows, pray not at the alter of Keanu, lift no weights, run no miles, climb no mountains, take no multi-vitamins, brush no teeth, master no bate, kiss no mate, eat no scrumptious butter croissants, do no morning crunches, complete no crossword puzzles, play no spider solitaire, illegally download no music, take no poorly lit cell phone pics of celebs at Starbucks, stalk no exes on Facebook, wake and don’t bake, run no errands, gather no rosebuds while thee may, basically, don’t do SHIT until you VOTE!

For one day, there is nothing on this Earth more important than that. Today is not a day to be a narcissist. Today is a day for change. Today is the day we MAKE change happen. Tomorrow we can fumble around and be mindless, superficial idiots again, but today?

Today is the day we get it right.

Yes we can.

Ben Affleck Remembers Dem Good Ole Days…

Ben Affleck could use a haircut.

Yep, I remember dem good ole days.

Back when I was one of them actor folk. Life was pretty chill. Mostly just sat around, drankin beers, playin cards, sleeping with narrow blonde women. Occasionally I did sumdat pretendin stuff.

Money was pretty good. I din’t complain. Just showded up, did my thang, and cashed mah check.

Ooh, I remember this one time I dated this la-teen-o. It was great, man! She used to make me fried cheese with mexican beans. Girl had this giant ass, nahwhatImean? I started rolling wit her cause I thought all la-teen-o’s talked like that Rosie Perez chick from that Spike Lee movie where everything was hot all day, which I dig like redneck digs PBR, but she din’t talk that like. I says to her: “Woman! Call me Mookie when we’re doing our lurvemakin.” And sometimes, when I was good at her premieres, or my movies opened at number one, she would. She’d call me Mookie. Just like Matty used to.

Dems was good times.

Hey, hole up one second. Gotta take care of sum business.

Nate! HEY NATE! Bring them crawfish bubblers round back! We gotta get that Tolliver order settled. And tell Bobby Joe to pinch me off some Skoal chaw fer when I’m done interviewin!

Sorry bout dat. Where was I? Oh, right…

Yep, you can’t tell it by lookin at me, cause I’m running dis here bait shop nah, but back den, hooboy I was big. Garth Brooks big. And that’s a meterphorical big, not a literal girth. Peoples used to follow me and scream my name. Big time directors like Michael Bay and uh… MICHAEL Bay would fight to have me in der picture. I was good with the gun shooting angles and the animal crakerz in pudgy actress belly shots. Der was a time, long ago, when where if you had yurself a blockbuster, you had yurself some Benjamin Affleck. I tell ya!

Yeah, those were some good days.

Mah career was a full one. Walked away on top. King of the Mountain. Daredevil, Gigli, Surviving Christmas, Paycheck. BAM. Four hits, boom boom boom, like the Mighty Bahstan Red Sawx topplin the cursed Yankees in the ALCS! Can’t beat that string, nosireebob. Dat’s when I says to myself “Ben, time to go off and live your other dream. Running Benny’s Bait Shop and Broiler Mart.” So that’s what I did. And you know what? Best decision I eva made.

Do I ever think about returning to the movies? Lemme ask you sumthin: “Ya’ll ever think about leaving paradise?” I didn’t think so.

Dangit Nate! Where intheheyl are those bubblers? We ain’t runnin no chickenshit lazy bait shop here. I’m Ben Affleck, dangit! My name means qualitay!

Will Affleck For Food

Ben Affleck really needs to pull it together.

Uh, gotta any acting gigs?

Please, anything you have in your pocket, or production office, will do. I promise not to use it on poker tournaments or runs for political office. I just need them to act.

I haven’t acted in a long time and I’d really like to do that again. So anything you can give would help.

Here, here, let me do a monologue for you.

See, wasn’t that good! I still have it, I swear! Your spare acting gigs will not go to waste. No Gigli’s, I promise. Only Changing Lanes and Chasing Amy quality jobs.

I’m in a 12-step program about my bad script-choosing addiction. I know now that I only did Payback because I was angry at myself and lashing out at Matt for not getting me a gig on Ocean’s Eleven. But I am learning to control my habits.

I just did a cameo in Smoking Aces, where I get killed. See, that’s better, right? You’ve all wanted to see that happen, yes? And wasn’t that scene with me and Bateman funny? Sure, I kept a straight face about as well as Fallon in a Debbie Downer skit, but c’mon, I was there, I should get SOME credit!

Please, I have a wife and daughter to feed. Look, my daughter is getting better press than me; my wife just did a movie with McConaughy. McConaughey! Who knows what grubby slacker disease he osmosised onto her. Damon is a huge mega star now and I’m fucking Jimmy Kimmel. It’s been a rough while for the old Affleck.

I just need a little help, is all. Anything you can spare.

/Russell Crowe walks by

Russell, Russell, please, spare any acting gigs?

/Russell socks Ben in the face, spits in his ear and wipes his shoes on Ben’s ass

I just want to act again!

/Russell drops a script on his fetal body

Oh, oh thank you Russell! State of Play. Well, that sounds good. Who’s in it? Russell, Helen Mirren, Robin Wright Penn, Jeff Daniels, Bateman and wait… OMG… OMFG… ZOMG! Rachel McAdams is in this? THE Rachel McAdams? Do you know what this means???

BEN AFFLECK IS BACK, BABY!

/A producer walks by and hands Ben a script

Get fucked, Suit, I don’t need your charity direct-to-DVD movie. I’m Ben Affleck! And Imma be a star again!

Violet Affleck’s List Of Weekly Chores

Apparently, kids are good for more than just foisting your love of Keanu Reeves on them.

Violet Affleck can do anythingIf you haven’t heard the remarkable “Celebrity Kid Makes Good” story, let me sum it up for you: Jennifer Garner took her angelic baby Violet to the supermarket; when they got there, Jen accidentally locked Violet in the car. Freaking out, worried something bad was gonna happen to her famous offspring, J-Garns successfully directed Violet to turn off the car, get the keys, unlock the doors and get out of the car. How amazing is that? A two and a half year-old who can valet for you, if necessary. That’s one smart kid!

(Though I’m not surprised, what with Ben as her father. Guy’s a genius, what else would you expect of his spawn? Better acting skills? Please.)

And that got me to thinking what other awesome things Violet probably does around the Affleck house. Besides saving Mommy’s ass in front of the papz and making Ben look like a credible Celebrity Father, here’s the list of chores Violet probably performs on a weekly basis.

VIOLET AFFLECK’S WEEKLY CHORES:
Violet Affleck can do anything

- Precuts all the Tofu in the house. Jen needs it sliced in eighths.

- Changes out empty rolls of toilet paper. Ends always rolling over, not under.

- Sets the Tivo (Late Night talk show preference is left up to her. Surprisingly, she’s a Craig Ferguson fan).

- Dolls out Daddy Ben’s daily hair restoration prescription.

- Cuts out all the tabloid pictures of Mommy and puts the prettiest ones on the fridge. Mails all the bad ones to Jen’s publicist with an angry letter threatening to fire her ass, written in a Teal Crayola Marker.

- Keeps up Ben’s correspondence with Barack Obama.

- Runs lines with Mommy. Does her best not to make Jen feel inadequate.

- Feeds the llama. Also, Kevin Smith, when he comes over.

- Cleans out the rain gutters. Cause they’re not gonna clean themselves!

- Texts her Dad every day, at precisely 1:37pm, to tell him he was “the bomb in Phantoms, yo!”

- Crank calls Suri Cruise to tell her get off her lazy ass and contribute. This isn’t actually a chore, she just enjoys doing it.

- Shines her halo all by herself.

What $40,000 Gets You With Scarlett Johansson

Win A Date With ScarJo!International screen hottie and budding hack musician, Scarlet Johansson, recently put a date with herself up for auction on eBay. The sham affair is an effort to raise money for the OxFam charity. Some pathetic Britboy actually dropped $40,000 to win the auction. That gigantic sum of money earns him the right to spend 20 minutes (less time than a sitcom!) with ScarJo at the red carpet premiere of her upcoming romcom “He’s Just Not That Into You”.

Wondering just what $40k for 20 minutes with a pretty Hollywood actress gets you these days? Read on to find out…

Minute 1: You’re at the premiere of ScarJo’s new movie “He’s Just Not That Into You” and you’re pitting up with excitement in your linty, off the rack tux; you’re about to meet the blonde chick with the big boobs and hot lips from that weepy indie movie you saw that one time because someone told you she shows her ass during the opening credits, and the ass was there as promised and it was fairly nice and easily the best thing about the movie, and you kept that in your head for years, secretly returning there in your happy place when no one was watching, and it slowly overtook you to the point where you voluntarily went to that magic movie she did with Wolverine on the off chance she showed some side boob action during her one-piece bathing suit scene, but she didn’t and the movie was really fucking bad but you forgave her cause in that other movie where she got dead in Britain she looked too fine, and you still worshipped the ass until last year when you heard it was a stunt butt and you were devastated, and then after subsequently snapping out of the years-long reverie you realized she hasn’t been in anything fun to watch beyond The Perfect Score, and that’s only as a goof. And it only cost $40,000 to live that dream.

Minute 2: She’s running late. Smell ya later, $4,000!

Minute 3: There she is, in all her glory. And by “glory”, I mean a frumpy, non-form fitting dress that highlights NOTHING, literally none of her fun bits, because you are a plebe and she’s not an idiot and you didn’t even crack $50k. But she shakes your hand (it’s a pullback shake, where you only get the fingers and half the palm… bitch), and smiles at you and you turn to mush, cause she is a celebrity and you are an idiot.

Minute 4: Awkward silence. Make that money count, boy!

Minute 5: You ask her how her day went. You make a mental note to beat your penis to death later for your lameness. She responds: “Um, nothing. I didn’t do much.” She subtly checks her watch. You have the vague feeling that she isn’t as charming as you’d hoped.

Minute 6: She thanks you for paying so much to meet her, and for giving it all to charity. You believe this is an invite to brazenly eye-fuck her rack. She raises her eyebrows at you, and four huge black guys are immediately five feet away from you and are hungry.

Minute 7: You – “So what’s it like being an actress?” ScarJo – “It’s great. I work with a lot of cool people. It’s fun.” You – “… so what was up with The Island? Boy, was that a pile of shit.” ScarJo – “So what was up with you paying forty grand to meet me? Boy, does that make you creepy.” You – “Riiiight.”

Win A Date With ScarJo!Minute 8: Awkward silence.

Minute 9: You ask her about the short film she’s making. Out of nowhere, a beret and sunglasses magically appear on her head and she begins a lengthy explanation of her composition and mise-en-scene. You become acutely aware of how disappointing you found her to be in The Prestige.

Minute 10: You know, in person, the ScarJo body is not so tight, huh? A bit stocky, right? That’s a $20,000 revelation you just had there, big guy. Next time bid on a latte date with Carla Gugino. It’ll be $35k cheaper and she’ll totally dish on making out with Lucy Liu in that low-rent vampire flick she made last year.

Minute 11: Does she just really need to cough, or does her voice actually sound like that?

Minute 12: You ask her what type of music she listens to. She name checks working with The Jesus and Mary Chain. You have no idea who she is talking about. Why didn’t she say Justin? He’s so dreamy!

Minute 13: Oh my god, there’s Ben Affleck!!! You beg ScarJo to introduce you. She can’t believe you’d rather shake the hand of the star of Gigli than have an awkward conversation with the child star of The Horse Whisperer. But c’mon, that’s a no brainer.

Win A Date With ScarJo!Minute 14: You tell Affleck he was the bomb in Phantoms (yo!). It was literally the best moment of your life. You start wondering why you couldn’t have paid $40 grand to have a beer with the Fleck. Maybe J-Garns would have dropped by and you could have taken a cell phone pic with baby Violet. What a missed opportunity…

Minute 15: ScarJo looks annoyed. You could give a shit.

Minute 16: Kinda bored and thus feeling reckless, you ask about the business with Tom Cruise. She demurs talking about it. Your response: “C’mon! … for charity?”

Minute 17: She tells a completely astonishing tale about her near abduction into the cult of Scientology, her narrow escape from their compound, personality tests flying by her like Indy avoiding the cave spears in the opening of Raiders, and her race to hide from the chasing horde. You are riveted. Tom Cruise is the best.

Minute 18: One more eye-fuck, for good measure. Now you can feel the breath of her bodyguards. They had lemon chicken for lunch.

Minute 19: Awkward silence. Both of you hoping this charade just ends.

Win A Date With ScarJo!Minute 20: She thanks you one more time for being so generous. You put out your hand for one more limp-wristed shake but she gives you a cute smile and pulls you in for a hug. It goes on for maybe 1.5 seconds longer than necessary and at the last moment she gives you an extra tight chest squeeze. The rack feels like overripe lemons being Jamba Juice’d into your torso. It’s uncomfortable, but you’ll still feverishly masturbate to the memory of it for the next decade. She walks away and you follow her ass as she goes. It’s not bad, but it’s no Lost In Translation stunt butt.

Consensus: Twenty minutes of awkward silences, stilted conversation and the briefest of hugs for forty thousand American dollars?

Totes worth it.

(He got to meet Affleck. Recognize!)
