Face it, George Clooney sucks

Yeah but Clooney is an ultra leftist who fanatically supported Obama who is hands down - no argument- the worst POTUS in US history, and now he is fanatically supporting Hitlery who was co-President of the most corrupt administration in US history. So in Hollywood that guarantees he will always be an A list star even if his movies gross 3 bucks.

I’ve never thought otherwise.

What’s new?

George Clooney vows to support Hillary Clinton in any way he can

[Cincinatus]

If you matched them up head-to-head, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson would crush him

I'd pay to see that.

What’s new?

With me?

I'm still trying to figure out what this expression means: Nothing to do is everything with you.

Clooney is the king of crappy movies. Its hard to stay awake. The last decent movie he made was Perfect Storm.

[dainbramaged]

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is a republican, not sure on how conservative since those two don’t necessarily go together anymore. He was a big Bush supporter.

Ask Georgie Porgie why he wasn’t pushing for Hillary over Obama in 2008.

What were his arguments against Hillary then and why is he gung ho for her to the exception of other candidacies this time around?

Apparently it was a funded “love letter to Syracuse”

It faces a very poor high-crime neighborhood.

YEA, VERILY YEA!

Clooney was good in O’Brother, but he wasn’t “the” start: that movie was full of other talented actors and the real star in all Coen brother movies is the Coen’s themselves.

That being said, movies are dying, and they are dying because Hollywood pays out REALLY big bucks for “stars” and CGI, nearly entirely forgetting story and dialog.

There’s far, far more entertaining fare being streamed these days an NONE of it is Hollywood. The BBC’s “Sherlock” is a perfect example. Hollywood could learn many lessons from this show, four of which are:

1. there are thousands of great books out there that could be made into fantastic movies by imaginative and talented people (less interference by a thousand suits of course);

2. there are hundreds of talented unknown actors that would work for a pittance, and if you hire enough of those, you’ll bring the “stars” to their knees if you even care to hire them anymore;

3. story and dialog matter. A lot. Oh, and drop ALL the gratuitous “Progressive” (kommie) propaganda: Propaganda Kills;

4. finally, try something new that is old, namely bring back the serial. Produce an ongoing series with the quality (and length) of “Sherlock” and release a new episode once a month and charge $6.00 a person. You’ll be able to make money charging that low because your production costs will only have been a couple mil per episode (no CGI, no “stars”), and your attendance will be through the roof.

Heck, even make the first episode free for the sake of publicity, and besides, the theater owners make their money on concessions, so they’re not going to object, particularly since their theaters are nearly empty anyway.

Tomorrowland is a passion project, those are usually financial losers, and often for good reasons. But if you give Clooney good material he’s good with it. He’s great in all his Coen brothers movies.

The last decent movie he made was Perfect Storm.

He was good in Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and that came out around the same time. The Oceans movies are watchable but not necessarily because of him. Burn After Reading was another good turn with the Coen Brothers.

But stuff like Michael Clayton, Syriana, The Men Who Start At Goats, The Monuments Men, Up In The Air...dullsville.

I saw this picture last weekend and liked it. I thought it had a positive message. The script could have been a little better but all in all I was entertained and like the message of hope and optimism.

While I am not a fan of Clooney’s politics I do like some of his movies. I also recently saw “The Monuments Men” and that was a well done picture.

Now two actors I absolutely detest are Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, neither are action stars and for them to play or having played Batman and Jason Bourne I find ludicrous. Want be watching Afflect play Batman, he does’t hold a candle to Christian Bale.

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) is a republican, not sure on how conservative since those two don’t necessarily go together anymore. He was a big Bush supporter.

I did not know that. Now I like him even more. Watched one of his movies last night. ("The Rundown") Loved it.

Clooney would support Bozo the Clown so long as he had D next to his name. He’s an imbecile.

Perhaps they could have hired someone from the neighborhood then instead of giving money to a graffiti artist from NYC/Philly.

O Brother was a CGI movie too. All of the landscape was photoshopped/instagrammed.
