It looks somewhat interesting but not enough to blow money on tickets, I’ll rent the DV some weeks from now.

Clooney was pretty good in
Burn After Reading. In that movie, he played a man who was incredibly stupid and vain, an utter zero. He ends up getting arrested while trying to escape to Venezuela, which was his choice because it has no extradition treaty with the United States.

May be time for a Killer Tomatoes franchise reboot?

It is my sincere hope that the George Clooney’s of the world will go away and that we will end up with artists rather than hacks who kiss the right butts and let it be known that they hold all the “right” opinions.

LOL. I’m sure Hollywood has considered a CGI Killer Tomatoes Reboot.

While the Hollywood bubble, which includes the lackey entertainment media, likes to pretend Clooney is a Big Star, moviegoers disagree, most especially when it comes to the films he directs.He's a movie star who doesn't make any good movies. Oh he has been good in a couple of Coen brothers flicks. And I really liked Out of Sight, but that was based on an Elmore Leonard book and directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Hard to screw that up.

My favorite Clooney movie and performance is “Intolerable Cruelty,” rom-com with Catherine Zeta Jones at the peak of her powers.
I absolutely loved that movie.
One of the few comedies I re-watch.

Another problem for Clooney is that over a 21-year film career that began in 1996 with Miramaxs From Dusk Till Dawn...FWIW, I really liked From Dusk Till Dawn.

Doesn’t sound as if he even needed to “act” for that one, he could just be himself.
To: EdnaMode
BTW, the reviews have so far been overwhelmingly negative.

Peter Jackson could make it work but it would have to be told in 3 trilogies of 3-part movies.

O Brother, Where Art Thou? was good.
I was in Korea when that came out. Had a friend tell me to see it and that he thought it was great. I did not care for it.
The only thing I can think of that I liked was One Fine Day. But I may be the only guy. Can't stand his politics and I just can't set that aside. Same for Matt Damon, Leo,.....
The one guy I like that I know is a big lib is Ben Affleck. It seems he tries to keep it to himself.

The movies he directs usually aren't intended to make money.
Monuments Men, Leatherheads, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: none of those was going to break any box office records.
Clooney brought in money with the Oceans movies, so Hollywood lets him do what he wants so long as he doesn't actually lose a lot of money.

Clooney also played a lawyer in “The Descendants” and a fixer for lawyers in “Michael Clayton.” He was good in those movies too.
I thought “Hail Caesar!,” the most recent Coen brothers movie, was not good, and Clooney was not good in it.

I liked O Brother Where Art Thou better than I'd expected but I still have problems with it. The incongruous out-of-era song, the Instagram photoshopping of all of the colors in the movie (the crops and woods are lush green but washed out browns in the movie). In short, it's all manipulation and fake.
I find the Cohen Bros. movies to be a mixed bag. Never fully enjoy any of them that I've seen but they are watchable (at least until the narratives go off the rails).
