[EveningStar]

Ben Affleck arrives for his Playboy Interview beaming after dropping off his kids for their first day of school. For Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner, it is the familiar ordeal of dodging the cameras of 20 paparazzi who have followed every step taken by son Samuel and daughters Violet and Seraphina ...

Playboy sent Michael Fleming, who last interviewed Quentin Tarantino, to catch up with Affleck. Reports Fleming: “We met right after his Batman announcement elicited hostility he hadn’t seen since the Bennifer days. A more mature Affleck doesn’t care. After his career overhaul, who’s to doubt him when he says, ‘Trust me, I know what I’m doing’?” ...

Why, why, WHY???

[what's up]

So does the "War on Women" extend to giving interviews with Playboy?

Just wondering.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I predict that Batman will be the biggest flop of the franchise.

Whoever cast Affleck has no idea who the audience is.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I didn’t know that they were still publishing Playboy. Hmmm. One learns something new every day.

[who knows what evil?]

It is a sequel to the ‘Man of Steel’ movie from this past summer...not only does it include Affleck as Batman; they have added a ‘Wonder Woman’, as well...I hope it chokes. Hate me, hate my money.

I used to have a T-shirt that said, ‘I read the articles’.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Honest, Honey, I only bought it to read the interview with Ben Affleck....

[SES1066]

Let's see, an actor is someone 'trained' and paid to perform, reading lines that are not his and following directions from someone else. Essentially, he/she immitates someone else, real or fictional. To be successful at this profession, they must be like a successful con man, able to make others believe that what they are doing and saying is real.

Tell me again why that is sufficient to make them a credible source for anything outside that profession?

Meanwhile, over at Marvel Studios, they still haven’t stopped laughing yet.

I believe this is the first time ever I’ve seen an article with a Playboy link.

I would have thought they would be on the Do Not Post list.

[eclecticEel]

This thread is useless without pictures.

[Boogieman]

He already killed one superhero franchise with his dreadful take on Daredevil. I have no idea why anyone would give him another shot. Let him go play a villain for a change.

Seriesly, Daredevil could have been such a great noir movie for a “comic book” - I will never forgive Marvel for making Matt Murdock’s story a kiddie film

That would be an utterly brain-dead decision to put Playboy on the "Do Not Post" list, but if you feel strongly enough about it, you can click the "Report Abuse" tab and state your case.

[cld51860]

No doubt. Daredevil is one of the coolest super heroes EVER.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Ben Affleck is to George Clooney what Obama is to Carter.

Let him go play a villain for a change.

I’ll not hit Report Abuse. I’ll just ping a moderator and alert the staff that you think they engage in utterly brain dead decisions.

They may allow Playboy, but they apparently have made brain dead decisions in regards to other porn sites that are blocked. In addition to the porn, Playboy is a leftist liberal site. Does Free Republic allow content from Huffington Post or the Daily Kos? No, they don’t.

You think they should? You think any leftist site (like Playboy) is OK to post here? Then YOU make YOUR case.
