I grabbed Ben Affleck’s butt. It was just sitting there, so I reacts!
and grabbed it. It grossed me out, and I still cringe everytimelj
about it. His butt stank and was sort of misshapen, but
ways. I was nervous, but I steeled my will and reached down;
grabbed the remnants of Ben Affleck’s Camel Light
cigarette.
This weekend, I had the opportunity to fly to the
left coast and rub black-clad elbows with two of
film’s biggest stars: Sandra Bullock — Sandy to her
friends and myself of course — and the golden boy
with the golden statue, Ben Affleck.
The opportunity came in the form of a press jun

Forces of Nature.

He chuckled good naturedly about it and then called to Sandv

For about a week, friends have deluged me with various req.:

“I don’t care if you are a guy, you have to grab Ben and give:

Luckily that never came up, although an effeminate guy sitting
to me during the plane ride did question the nature of the relation
between Affleck and his best bud Matt Damon.
The actual interview took a few unusual turns as somesmpp

Forces of Nature
Starring Sandra Bullock
and Ben Affleck
Directed by
Bronwen Hughes
(Opens March 1 9)
Opposites attract. At least,
that is what the makers of the
new romantic comedy Forces of
Nature would have viewers
believe.
The perennially cute Sandra
Bullock and hunk de jour Ben
Affleck star as two wayward
travelers forced to team up by a
freak airplane wreck while try
ing to get from New York to
Savannah. Affleck’s character,
Ben, is en route to his wedding
when he falls under the charms
of Bullock’s free-spirited Sarah.
Forces is the sophomore effort
of director Bronwen Hughes and
her attempts to tweak the tired
genre help give the film realistic
depth. Hughes’ use of digitally
created rain drops, sunset cai
would make postcards jealc] 1 he
and the innovative climax; to huil
