Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have split!
MSN Entertainment ^ | 07/01/2015 | By Mark Gray

After 10 years of marriage -- they celebrated their anniversary on June 29 -- the power couple confirmed their split following months of media speculation.

"After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce," the couple said in a joint statement. "We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time. This will be our only comment on this private, family matter. Thank you for understanding."

Ben and Jen have three children: Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.

Over the years, they have dealt with rumors about the state of their marriage, but they were always able to work their issues out. That is, until now.

The former couple will file for divorce, however, it will reportedly not be done immediately until custody and property issues are resolved.

I’m certain you already realize that this “story” is precisely typical of the dung pile which hypnotizes Americans as their once great Republic swirls down the toilet bowl. I’m just trying to guess what kind of response you are looking for here.

It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.

No disagreement with your assessment of the story, but I think he made it clear in his parenthetical statement about snarky comments; it is FreeRepublic after all. Like the libs, let’s not lose our sense of humor completely. If we can’t laugh at them, who can we laugh at?

When she found out one on Ben’s ancestors owned slaves she threw in the towel. Or some other reason.

We knew a couple who basically split their house down the middle and bricked it up. He lived in one half, she lived in the other. The kids shifted back and forth.

I know what you mean. First news scan of the morning is Drudge. As my fiancé said this morning, “How depressing is that?!”

It appears Ben got what he wanted based on the following:

I have an unrelated question that some of you photographers or film folks may or may not know how to answer.

There are several reasons to do this.

In the case of this photo, it may have been flipped so that the people did not appear to be walking off the page wherever it was originally used.

And the photo, while a large file, may have been displayed small enough that the logo didn't matter– no one would notice unless they opened the photo. It's an old newspaper/magazine thing to have people looking 'into' the page, not off, and not into the 'gutter' between facing pages.

In movies you may be seeing time-shifting and looping to extend a scene; a fireplace, or water feature may be added into a scene using special effects. If the clips don't match time-wise, the artists can loop (or bounce) the shorter clip to extend it. When they do this, it's not hard to randomize things like flame, water, and smoke to make them less noticeable. Today, many scenes are composited together from actual footage and computer generated scenes, to the point that most people can't tell the difference. Saves a ton of money, aside from the fact that fantasy and period-pieces almost cannot be filmed any other way.

Their only comment, should have been no comment. Stuff like this should be kept private. Also, who cares.

Ben Affleck has been reported to have been cheating on his wife for many years. He got caught this last time when he told his wife he was going to be at a movie set but instead was photograph in a small town in another state with his latest fling.

Jennifer Garner should do quite well in the money dept when the divorce is final.
