Add another name to the list of actors I don't want to see in anything anymore.

My list is so long, I'm mostly confined to classic movies, which I greatly enjoy anyway. Today's over-paid, over- coddled, classless, clueless, inelegant, grungy Hollyweird twits aren't worth — to borrow a great phrase — a warm bucket of spit. Technologically speaking, however, the time is fast approaching when live actors will not be necessary to create very real looking characters. Computers have already all but eliminated the need for extras, especially on long shots. Hehehehehe...computers, and those of us who despise what Hollyweird has become, will have the last laugh eventually.

Like you, I've added Clooney on my list of "don't want to see these jerks anymore". And remember, Clooney, Charleton Heston will long be remembered as a Great American, while you are currently not being remembered at all.

G. Clooney was finished, even before his idiotic comment. Pity the wannabe actor, he has no class, no intelligence, nothing to fall back on.

All right, I've waited long enough. I'm going to share something I've observed while attending multiplex movie theaters (as if they still have the single screen versions anymore):

From what I can assume, the studios (and the actors) get their royalties and profits based on the sale of tickets. So, the multiplex theater has to have a different ticket for each movie they're showing.

BUT (at least from what I've seen) the usher who takes the ticket doesn't seem to care if you go into a DIFFERENT sub-theater after you give him/her your ticket. So, for example, I bought a ticket for "The Two Towers" but found it to be awful (please no flames) so I left and went to the sub-theater that was showing Star Trek Nemesis

In other words, I saw Star Trek but the studio never benefited from my attendance. Is this a big problem for studios, I wonder??

I agree with you completely. The problem is that the list is growing so long that I may have to give up watching movies and TV altogether.
