Box office bomb: George Clooney's 'Suburbicon' is one of Paramount's biggest flops of all time
Fox News ^ | October 30, 2017 | Staff

George Clooney's "Suburbicon" didn’t just struggle at the box office. It sank. The film this weekend became one of Paramount Pictures' worst performing wide-releases ever, and it marked a new box office low for Clooney as a director and for star Matt Damon.

Never forget, Clooney sleeps with the enemy of everything Americans believe in. She is a muslim. She believes in the quoran...George Clooney was an easy fish to promote the Isamalist ways. In England they did not receive the media attention, but in America...they do. She can spread the quoran, intelligently for those who are weak in the American ways.

The trailer on this one looked stupid. My wife and I love going to the movies. We haven’t been since mid summer.

Me too. But the only movie I have seen this summer is Dunkirk. Which I really liked BTW.

There is a movie about Winston Churchill coming out in November.

Looking forward to that.

Wow, I’m surprised Madea’s movie only got 7 percent. The only Madea character movie I’ve ever watched Is “Madea’s Family Renion.” In spite of a relatively brief but tortuous appearance by Maya Angelou, I thought it was a funny movie.

A huge percentage of movies made over the past few decades have all been ‘remakes’.

There seems to no longer be any originality in Hollywood.

I nominate “Town and Country” featuring sexagenarians self-absorbed Diane Keaton, Goldie Hawn and Warren Beatty.

The only movie of Clooney’s I like is “Oh, Brother Where Art Thou.”

I liked Clooney and Quentin Tarantino in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN mainly because they played themselves.

Reminds me of the movie “Falling Down” with Michael Douglas and their caricature of white middle class male defense workers.

At least with "Falling Down", the Douglas character wasn't incompetent or a Nazi. He was a normal guy who cracked in a world making no sense, including the nazi types. More of a tragedy than a rag on the white guy kind of movie.

I like the movie "Falling Down" because the director was able to communicate to the audience not through the words the actors said, but through their eyes.

We are able to distinguish movies from the reality of their stars.

I can't do that anymore. All I would see in this film would be leftist actor George Clooney, wearing clothes created by leftist costume designers, reading a script written by leftist screenwriters, that was intended primarily to promote leftist ideology. I would walk out of the theater after hearing the first line of dialog that made that agenda clear. That would probably occur within the first five minutes.

I'm sure that my attitude causes me to miss some good films, but that's a small price to pay to avoid the too-familiar aggravation.

“..More of a tragedy than a rag on the white guy kind of movie....”

Yeah, I get that part. But it was the characterization that Douglas did that rankled me.

George only has himself to blame. He stepped into the doo doo and that is what brings on poor showing. Who cares about George any more?
