Poor dear misunderstood terrorists. Now wonder Clooneys dopey flick is a FLOP.

[Dark Skies]

Hey Georgie, what about me? I'm misunderstood, too.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

I don't think we should do either (understand or label them) - I think we should just make them dead.

We Need to “Understand” Destroy Terrorists, Not “Label” Them

There, I fixed it...

[Rocko]

Sometimes the best way to understand an organism is to perform an autopsy.

[QQQQ]

This MORON should stick to his mediocre acting.

[Darkwolf377]

George Clooney can't seem to understand his own profession--acting--all that well, so why would I take his advice on terrorist psychology?

Syriana--Budget, @$50mil, total US box office so far, @$40mil

Cut from the take the theater cut, the ad budget, and this sucker's bleedin' out.

Just like a lot of Clooney's movies of late:

Minus the ensemble movies Oceans 11 and 12, he hasn't had a movie break $50mil since A Perfect Storm in 2000!

Hey, Terrorists: Understand THIS:

[Pontiac]

I don't think we should do either (understand or label them) - I think we should just make them dead.

We need to understand the terrorist in order to more efficiently kill them.

Know thy enemy.

If you do not know your enemies motives, you can not reliably predict his actions.

Of course Clowny’s motivation in his film is not to promote knowledge of the terrorist motives in killing themselves and their victims but to promote sympathy for the terrorist and his cause.

The guy is a traitor to his country.

The fourth precept of gun safety; LOADED, MUZZLE, TRIGGER and number four, know your TARGET and what's behind it.

cLOONEY wants to understand terrorists? Reminds me of the old saying.....

All I need to know about Islam, I learned on 9/11.

[JCEccles]

You can't spell Clooney without "looney."

[kenth]

We could kill them, then understand them at our leisure.

Let's look at the leader board:

Syriana (2005) -- FLOP

Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) -- FLOP (but made some $$ because Clooney comp'ed em)

Ocean's Twelve (2004) -- FLOP (broke even=flop in Hwd)

Intolerable Cruelty (2003) -- MEGA-FLOP

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) -- FLOP

Solaris (2002) -- ISHTAR-LEVEL FLOP

Welcome to Collinwood (2002) -- FLOP!

So the last movie Loonie Cloonie was featured in that didn't die in the box office was Ocean's 11 -- and that was a boring and unecessary remake of an originally good movie by the Chairman Of The Board.

I didn't count Spy Kids -- he is a cameo.

[RightWhale]

The misunderstood sobs killed over 130 today alone in Iraq, every victim an innocent civilian.

Clooney. . .speaking from the intellectual abyss where these Leftists live. . .a,p.. . .and beyond pathetic that this is the beacon light that Hollywood shines to the world through it's lens.

Missed the interview - would not have if Sirius had not dropped Fox News. . .mind you - but hope Brit politely nailed Clooney. . .but have a feeling he probably was a little too polite. . .?

[infidel29]

George Clooney is a dork.

[Defiant]

That Gulf War movie he made was also horrible. The only movie he ever made that I liked was the one where he was an escaped convict in the 30s. He was in his element, playing a hillbilly.

[Doctor Raoul]

Not only is his movie a flop. His character looks like it's Paul Krugman!!!
