Clinton Hosts Robin Williams For Movie Screening

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Clinton, making greater use of his Camp David presidential retreat, hosted movie starRobin Williams for a screening of the actor’s new movie over the weekend, a White House spokesman said Monday. Williams and members of his cast were at the retreat in the Maryland mountains, where Clinton spent Saturday and Sundaynights, White House spokesman Mike McCurry told reporters.

In his new movie, “Good Will Hunting,” Williams plays a therapist to a math prodigy played by Matt Damon. Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton rarely used Camp David while daughter Chelsea was living with them andpreferred to stay in town with her friends, McCurry said. But use of the retreat is expected to increase now that Chelsea isaway at Stanford University in California.

“The president and the first lady are going to be doing some more entertaining and socializing up there,” he said. “They likebeing up there.”

However, McCurry said he would not publicize the guest lists. “I think the president is entitled to invite who he wants to go upthere to be his private social guests and I don’t intend to report on the guest list on such occasions,” he said.

Also on the show, Matt stated that, although they remained extremely close, he was no longerdating Minnie Driver (for those of you out there who are concerned with such matters).

Oh, and while we’re mentioning Matt, sources say that he will be named “Male Star of Tomorrow”at the Showest Awards in Las Vegas on February 12th. We could NOT verify this anywhere, andthe ceremony is still a few weeks off, so this may or may not be true.

The Oni Double Feature should be out sometime this week.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

“The first one has Silent Bob and Jay standing around and apparentlyJay’s sister with his neice. She leaves his neice with the twomiscreants and they just stare at each other until the girl startscrying. They then proceed to put in a tape in their 80’s style boomboxand put on some old school rapping nursery rhyme, quieting the toddler.”

“The second short shows Jay spilling his guts on how Alanis Morrisettewas his girlfriend and he is the reason for her angry music, which brinsBob to tears. Jay then gives him a hankerchief to dry his eyes, then Jayreveals that it is his “spankerchief” Bob was using.”

Also, in a major announcemnt at the appearance, Kevin told the audience that Dogma’s Pittsburghshoot will require TONS OF EXTRAS. He will be making an announcement on the net at a laterdate. There’s your chance to be in a Kevin Smith movie and become part of film history!

DAMON HAS A DREAM DATE WITH THE PRESIDENT: MATT DAMON’s dream year has been topped off with the presidential thumbs up. Hollywood’s golden boy, whose screenplay GOOD WILL HUNTING stormed the box office and raked in nearly $11 million this past weekend, has received the ultimate invite. Damon and his co-stars BEN AFFLECK, ROBIN WILLIAMS and British beauty MINNIE DRIVER, have been asked by American President BILL CLINTON to join him at his retreat CAMP DAVID. Clinton has been eager to see the movie and Damon, and the love of his life Driver, will sit right next to the president during the special screening.

KEVIN SMITH

Nobody typifies the scrappy independent filmmaker better than Kevin Smith. In 1994, Smith burst onto the indie scene with “Clerks”, a comedy about a New Jersey college dropout working in a convenience store.

The film won a major award at Sundance, and went on to become a slacker anthem. Though Smith’s subsequent film “Mallrats”, was a box-office flop, he returned to glory with “Chasing Amy”, an offbeat love story that cost $250,000 to make and took in $12 million.

Gone are the days of credit-card debts and no-name actors. With a budget of between $4 and $5 million, Smith’s fantasy film “Dogma” has real-life stars Linda Fiorentino, Chris Rock, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Alan Rickman.
