Wow. Ben Affleck, the guy who played Bartleby (yes, that's right. He just PLAYED Bartleby. In a movie.) has finally answered the question we've all been wondering about! Apparently, Ben has attained a Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman-esque level of understanding of this fictional character and can now safely say that the character that he played in a fictional movie did in fact go to heaven. Maybe as preparation for the role, Ben visited heaven to chat with Bartleby himself. This has answered ALL my doubts about this!
And, in other news, I was talking to Anthony Hopkins, who played Hitler in "The Bunker", and he told me that Hitler went to hell, so that's a relief. And, in a recent interview with Matthew Broderick, he gave us the happy news that Ferris Bueller and Sloane are still together, and are now the proud parents of a new baby boy!
Folks, it's a FICTIONAL movie. When the movie ended, SO DID THESE CHARACTERS' EXISTENCE. If it helps you to sleep better at night to know that Ben Affleck thinks that his fictional character went to heaven, then more power to you, but remember, folks; It's just a movie.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to bed. I have a busy day tomorrow; me, Coop, Remer, and Squeak are playing a game of baseketball, and then I'm meeting Jerry Maguire to talk about my shoe endorsement deal.
