You are totally right! It some how manages to sneak it?s way into every conversation. I?m so sick of hearing about it. The other day I saw 7 election commercials in a row, two of them repeated before the news came back! Makes me want cram a ballot box up the stations owners butt.
As for Mr. Affleck, he?s all right; he just acts in a lot of poor movies. I do see him falling off the A list if he doesn?t do something good soon though.

Aah, you are in one of the 'swinger states'. The news here is real funny to watch now since they divide your entire country into segements. You have your black voters and female voters who seem to be very popular now to try and actualy get them to vote. You have your states where its already sure who's going to win so they aren't interesting anymore. Then there's states like Forida and Ohio which can go any way and people are bombarded with comercials and stuff. These are the swinger states. Don't people feel deprived when their state isn't interesting anymore and they don't get all that wondefull election material

I feel they deserve the respect of EVERY United States Citizen giving up wealth and everything else to fight shows true love of this country and the celeberties shooting their mouths off? It just shows a bunch of losers...Those days were different and they should still be respected but the celeberties now should get their asses OUT of politics..From what I just read I can't imagine them saying anything bad they know what this country has gone through even though they are mostly gone[R.I.P.] they fought rather than shoot their damn mouths off...That's all there is to say
Also thank you for posting that I didnt know about any of it...

But this is probably another one of your attention getting schemes.
Classic
but he cant act though but still classic vicious
You're welcome Pupper Master.
I put my vote in that I dont care for movies he plays in Jay and Silent Bob was an exception. But he even teases himself in the movie. But when it really comes down to it he is getting paid and you always see pictures where he has a attractive woman on his arm. I doubt very many of us would care if we were hated mostly but were rich and had the attention of the opposite sex as much as he does.
Andromeda18_ Wrote:Why would I hate someone I don't even know? People think that just because they watch an actor perform in a movie and read about him in a couple of magazines they know him intimately. Yeah right! I have absolutely no reason to deslike him. I might not like his movies and I might not like his face but that's no reason to hate a person I know nothing about!
Exactly. I've seen some stuff about him off screen in his every day life and he seems like a really nice down to earth type person.
Don't hate him. Wish he would make another great movie though. And to tell the truth I enjoyed Daredevil and Paycheck. (Little bias I am Dare Devil fan as well as an Uma fan) I really wish he would get a role like his partner "Matt Damon" *said in the voice of Trey Parker from Team America* The Bourne series is great. As for the Jersey Trilogy ( first you named 4 movies only 2 of them had anything directly to do with Jersey girl) Yes he was great in Dogma, but any movie Matt is in Ben is better in Matt makes him better kind of like butter/jam on toast. But those movies are 9 (MR), 7 (CA), 5 (D), 3 (J&SB) years old. So in 3 years he hasn't done something with out Matt or Kevin Smith damn he needs help.
Matt Damon is awesome. Still need to see The Bourne Supremacy. I hate Ben Assfleck as well. He's such a stooge. The best thing he ever did was in J&S..."I dunno Will! What're we gonna' do?!?!?!"
I think that Ben Affleck is a decent actor that has very poor decision making skills.
Matt Damon is a whole nother story.. He is a cocky pompous guy in real life, known fact.
any one seen team america? ugghhh matt damon
