It takes a certain degree of nerve to title a film The Ides of Marchnot merely because it invites Shakespearian comparisons but, more particularly, because the word that most commonly precedes the calendric phrase in the English-speaking world is "beware."
George Clooney has nonetheless taken this gamble in his latest directorial outing, a political fable adapted from the Beau Willimon play Farragut North (itself named, more modestly, after a downtown Washington, DC Metro station).

And this is a review in The Atlantic. Evidently not even far leftists can stand Cloony any more.

When they couldn't put together a coherent 20-second trailer, you knew 'Frank Crapra' Clooney was screwed. Again. The guy cannot direct.

Doesn’t look good, but I never have any problem separating politics from my movies. I just love movies and it really doesn’t make much difference to me who is in them. But that’s just me. *shrug*

Anyone who would take money out of their own pocket and willingly pay it to see this movie is either bone stupid or heavily drugged.

Something about Zack Efron, a Russian and a bunch of buddies.

I would have liked to earn the gratuity on that tab! WooHoo! $22510.00, man what a tip.
I got $1500.00 for opening some Dom Perignon one night, but this one takes the prize!

I never fails. The Hollywood libtard wants to be taken seriously, tries to do something to be seen as serious, and ends up looking silly.
