Well I don't believe he said it. I've always suspected Ben Affleck having those feelings though. I mean Kevin Smith did help start Affleck's career, but it seems that Smith won't ever let Ben forget that. And Ben keeps doing these movies for him as favors because Kevin can't get any other A-list stars.

And Affleck goes on to say that he said it in love, and Applegate commented "that's friendship." So once again IMDB takes something completely out of context and they are the ones looking like a fool.

Affleck says the same exact things on the Jersey Girl dvd extra where it's just him and Smith - Affleck blasts Smith (and vice-versa) about being a merchandising whore and Smith makes fun of his movies. They alway do this and it's always funny, 'cause it's true

I like smith, his store is cool and I have seen him in there twice already. Really cool to talk to and he was talking Batman animated series last time I went.
I don't mind the store at all.

And while they may not be "A-list" stars, Smith didn't seem to have trouble finding actors to show up in Dogma or Jay and Silent Bob, like Chris Rock (back when he was still super popular), George Carlin, Salma Hayek, or Alan Rickman.

I personally have no problem with Ben Affleck. I think he's a decent actor and i'm obviously not the only one or he woudln't be doing movies still. I don't understand all the hate and bashing of him.. someone explain it to me plese

I think the store in Jersey is great. For locals it sells comics and toys. For fans who travel there you have shirts and other movie related goodies. I see no reason people should give him shit for this. My wife surprised me with a spur of the moment trip to the Stash and it was a the best mini-vacation I've ever had. I hope to do it again very soon.
I really hope this is all BS cause I'm a huge Kevin Smith Fan and I think Ben Affleck does some of his best work of Kevin's films. Having a falling out would hurt the both of them.
