Clooney is actually not well-liked in some parts of the entertainment industry because of his big ego, which can cause problems (you wonder why Clooney has a house on Lake Como in northern Italy).

I’ll admit I’m watching (I rarely ever do)...only because I’m such a big fan of “No Country For Old Men”. Great movie (maybe one of the best I’ve ever seen), especially Javier Bardem’s performance.

I don’t care how much of a lefty loon he is. He’s hot!

Shoot, look at those stick legs! Is he ... unwell?

I thought the same thing about his wife. Without him she would be selling perfume at Macy’s.

Yes, so true. He is a nasty man. I know too many people who know him.

I’m planning to rent that one. I’ve been told the ending is weird.

FWIW I’ve heard from someone that worked with him that Clooney is an exceptionally nice person.

Nothing can help Cameron Diaz. She’s a dog. Kerry Russell looks gorgeous in the right clothes ... but this ain’t the right clothes!

I can’t believe “Ratatouille” won. I had to leave the theater halfway through. Just the thought of rats all over the kitchen is SO repulsive to me. Nothing cute about it!

especially Javier Bardem’s performance.

Tommy Lee Jones too. IMO, he received his nomination for the wrong movie.

All I’ve ever heard about Clooney on projects is that he’s an incessant practical joker. Which would get REALLY old REALLY fast.
