Ben Affleck and Matt Damon know something [View all]

Ben makes a movie
Ben wants an Oscar
Seat opens in Mass
Ben yaps alot as does his BFF Matt
Put your money where your mouth is
Ben chickens out, $$$ and Oscars mean more to Ben
Shit, publicity is going to screw my chances, look what happened to Clint
Matt opens his trap
Insults the President at just this time
Ben don't win Oscar
Ben blames the media and continues to whine

Thanks Ben. Thanks Matt. Thanks John.

choice
shit or get off the can
put up or shut up
oh wait, gotta movie to publicize
screw you Ben and Matt.
gonna use my money to see Lincoln again and not Matts new one

Spielberg is going to win the Oscar
Tony is going to win the screenplay
Matt's gonna go home with Ben empty handed

btw, why was Argo allowed to run pre-electoin
But the Binladen movie had to be delayed
The rightwing must have liked the fact that Argo reminded people of Jimmy Carter
(I love Jimmy Carter btw) but they hope the message people got was a bad image
Binladen on the other hand reminded people of how great our President was as compared to their president.

oh, that is why Argo was allowed to run.

Al Franken did the grunt work, the rote work. Al Franken worked his ass off and he is allowed to speak his mind.
Shut the 'uck up Ben and Matt. When push came to shove, you took the ball and the money

feel free to disagree.
