BERLIN (Reuters) - George Clooney (news) reacted with a stream of invective when a journalist called the American actor's latest film -- the box office flop "Solaris" -- "boring" after it was screened at the Berlin Film Festival.

Looks like he is practicing playing Dan Rather in a future B-grade made for TV movie.....

[savedbygrace]

George Clooney plays himself. Again.

[lorrainer]

"Clooney, who had even exposed his bare bottom for the camera in one scene in a bid to boost the film's commercial appeal, reprises the shot here for reporters."

Well, what a coincidence! I just downloaded Solaris 9 for x86 and burned CDs yesterday. You'll want to check this out: $20 for Solaris 9 on x86.

w00t! w00t! :-)

If I hadn't just bought a brand new telescope, that'd have my undivided attention tonight! Thanks!

No, I prefer Caine's wry self-deprecatory humour.

[new cruelty]

Given a choice of the two... I prefer Caine's response. It is witty and diffuses the argument- yes, to you, my movies may be of poor quality, but they most certainly afford me a high quality of life.

FWIW, I enjoy watching both actors.

"You make a lot of films, do you?" Clooney asked rhetorically. "You make a lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get to talk about it. What a jerk!"

Funny how this man who has never been POTUS or even minimally important, is keen on constantly cutting W down......

***DING DING DING***

We have a winner!!!

Thank you. I looked at the photo and couldn't think who it reminded me of--yes, dan (I'd)rather (not)

[boris]

"Solaris" a Hollywood perversion of Stanislaw Lem's novel.

I admit I liked neither.

However--get a copy of Lem's The Cyberiad and prepare to be enchanted.

When you discover it was written in Polish and translated into English, prepare to be utterly amazed.

They'll never make a movie of it.

Live long and prosper! (well except for Critics who think my movie is boring)

[LiberalBuster]

Another Hollywood leftist who can give out criticism, but can't take it himself.

[metalboy]

Georges IQ showing again

[Paul Atreides]

George Clooney is the star of "Solaris." He deserves anything bad anyone says about him.

[rbmillerjr]

cLooney, his humanity exposed and his career in shambles - auditions for the next blockbuster, "Popeye".

[Future Snake Eater]

When asked about the poor quality of one of HIS movies, I understand actor Michael Caine once smiled and said that he had a very high lifestyle that is well maintained by a low grade of movie.

Well, I should think so after "Jaws 4"!

[gc4nra]

"You make a lot of films, do you?" Clooney asked rhetorically. "You make a
lot of films yourself? Yeah, I'd like to see you make a film first before you get
to talk about it. What a jerk!"

Well George, just maybe you should take your own advice and walk a mile in Charlton or W's shoes before passing judgement on them "JERK"!

[antivenom]

You're welcome...both are creeps...

[cake_crumb]

Just a sudden thought about Turks and Cloony and the opinions of him expressed on FR (as well as elsewhere)...A_Turk, was that YOU who told Cloony his movie was boring?? (just kidding)
