No one today is qualified to even shine his shoes.
I’ve never thought otherwise.
I'd pay to see that.
Clooney is the king of crappy movies. Its hard to stay awake. The last decent movie he made was Perfect Storm.
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?

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.
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.
Clooney would support Bozo the Clown so long as he had D next to his name. He’s an imbecile.
This is a revelation to some people? I always thought he sucked in every role he’s performed other than “The Perfect Storm.”
Something is wrong with this picture. 10 years ago, Hollywood had a realization with the box office disaster “Sahara”, that at its budget of $130m, there was almost no way for it to break even, much less make a serious profit.
The idea is that there is a limit to how expensive a production budget can be before a movie is a guaranteed money loser.
Did Disney get the Memo?
Mars Needs Moms (2011): budget $150, b.o. $39m
The Lone Ranger (2013): budget $225, b.o. $260m
John Carter (2012): budget $263, b.o. $284
The Alamo (2004): budget $107, b.o. $25.8
Clooney has alienated 50% of the U.S. with his active and aggressive
support of liberalism.
Any movie where he is the lead character tanks.
Oceans series movies has many famous actors.
Clooney is not the lead, just one of several famous actors.
Perhaps these movies didn’t make big bucks, but Clooney was very good in ‘O Brother’, ‘Burn Before Reading’, ‘Leatherheads’ and one of the most underrated movies of the last 15 years IMO ‘Intolerable Cruelties’. True all of those save one were directed by the Coen Brothers, but still he was very good in all of them.
On a side note, IMO the Coens and Wes Anderson IMO are the best directors out there. No Country for Old Men is a modern classic that ranks up there with any of the old time classics. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a Coen or Wes Anderson directed movie and thought that’s lousy.
He’s dumb. But good looking.
His old lady looks like she should come equipped with a web.
