“Affleck you were the bomb in Phantoms, Yo!” – Jay

No line resonates stardom like a complement screamed from an adoring fan running from security on your movie set. Further more if this fan is the one and only Jay, from Jay and Silent Bob. “Affleck you were the bomb in Phantoms, Yo!” is the only reason I would have ever thought to watch Phantoms. If Jay liked Ben’s performance, then I probably would too.

Phantoms arrived on this planet in 1998 with the hopes of being this generations “Blob”. Of course the movie was destined to race through theaters to arrive on HBO and DVD, but Affleck’s performance I must say was divine. Ben lands his marks and acts the shit out of this movie. Not even giant face eating moths or dark oozing masses that travel through sewage pipes could slow Ben down. I believe this is when he hit his stride, well until Reindeer Games, and Gigli…well and Surviving Christmas. But hey, he was the bomb in Phantoms!
