Sounds like George Clooney is maybe retiring from acting

[Quadzilla99]

http://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/amp13437639/george-clooney-acting-career-end/

Top 3 Clooney movies imo

Out of Sight
From Dusk Till Dawn
Michael Clayton

He didn't have as good a career as I thought looking over his filmography. Lot of good but not great movies. No real classics

[Quadzilla99]

Forgot Gravity that was great maybe best thing he's been in but not really a Clooney movie. Same with Thin Red Line

[Robz4000]

Bruh, Men Who Stare At Goats is GOAT-tier.

[Avante]

I've never seen a Clooney movie where some other actor couldn;t have played the part.

Only Brando could star in...On The Waterfront/Streetcar Named Desire

Only Bogart in....Casablanca/The Maltese Falcon/Key Largo

Only Pacino in....The Godfather

Only James Dean in.....Rebel Without A Cause/East of Efen

Only Cagney in...City For Conquest

Only Orson Wells in....Citizan Kane

Only Paul Newman in....Cool Hand Luke

Only Gibson in....The Roadwarrior

Only DeNiro in....Ragging Bull

Only John Wayne in....The Searchers

[baseline bum]

Only Old Faggot in....Olangapo child rape.

[Avante]

Only Old Faggot in....Olangapo child rape.

Stupid, tell that to the million sailors who were there before me and the million who were there after I left. Stupid, do you have a clue at all? My God you're stupid. And....do you know what the legal age was over there? Ya don't do ya stupid?

[pgardn]

Oh Brother Where Art Thou...

[Pavlov]

Hey, someone made an irrelevant list.

[Avante]

Oh Brother Where Art Thou...

There is a scene in the movie where Tommy Johnson (Chris Thomas King) is singing a song around a camp fire. The song is a classic...Hard Tme Killing Floor. Problems is that tune belonged to Skip James, not Tommy Johnson*** and it came out after the flood of 27.


*** his....Canned Heat Blues, is where that 60's blues/rock band got their name.....Canned Heat. They were huge fans of them old blues.

Yeah?

Well there is a scene where the maidens at the crick turn one of the boys to a leopard frog which they keep in a box providing no moisture to the skin... problem is, it would kill it. The other problem, he was not turned into a leopard frog which they refer to as a toad.

"We thought... You were...A Toad"

So yeah.
That ruins the movie.

[AaronY]

Clooney: "we are looking to get $3 billion dollar in gold bouillion"
Spike Jonze: "You mean those little cubes you put in soup."
Clooney sighs then deadpans: "no..not the little cubes that you put into soup."

[spurraider21]

Intolerable Cruelty imo

[spurraider21]

also what about lol batman

[UZER]

Is he trying to disappear before getting called out for being a predator, or an enabler?

Is this one of those right wing things where you hate him because he's a Hollywood liberal?

No, but thanks for profiling me.

Or, just maybe the fact that it's a sickening, rapid trend with names being dropped daily. Rape/molestation/sexual misconduct isn't a political thing, it's a rich privilege thing and it's being exposed as it should be.

This is true. Hope Clooneys not involved in anything horrible since I doubt I'll be watching Spacey's movies and would hate to have to avoid another guy's. If that article is right he did get a billion dollars for selling some tequila so him retiring seems plausible.

[Chucho]

For me:

O Brother Where art Thou

Gravity

The Men who Stared at Goats


I was REALLY, REALLY disappointed in Monuments Men (history, specifically WW2 is RIGHT up my alley) and Hail Cesar (Magic Mike's dance number shouldn't be the highlight of the film.)

I also liked Burn after Reading, but not so much for Clooney as the overall movie and story.

[timtonymanu]

I saw Michael Clayton for the first time recently and it’s an underrated flick.

[UZER]

O Brother Where art Thou

Not a big Clooney fan. Plus, his constant head bobble is hard to ignore.

With that said, O Brother Where Art Thou is one of my favorite movies. He was great in that flick.

[The Gemini Method]

I thought he was pretty good in Up in the Air. But The Men Who Stared at Goats and Gravity would be my top tier of his movies. Probably should lament his role as Batman.

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's like the steroid era in baseball where everyone was presumed guilty, you just have to assume they all raped. I'm not buying the tequila schtick

[lefty]

Didn't he retire a long time ago?

[Chris]

I've never seen a Clooney movie where some other actor couldn;t have played the part.

Same here. Nothing special but a face to look at imo

[Chris]

Probably the worst Batman ever and Kilmer was baaaaad.

[UZER]

I agree.

Either that, or he knows a whole hell of a lot about Weinstein and others and is getting out before he has to answer as to why he didn't say anything.

[DMC]

That won't get him out. He's still George Clooney.

Remove his co-actors and he's pedestrian at best. Like My Cousin Vinny, Ralph Macchio could have simply been replaced with a mannequin. It was the others like Tomei and the stuttering lawyer, Fred Gwen and even the prosecuting attorney. All flawless performances. Pesci was good too, though unbelievable as Tomei's fiancee. He looked 65.

I think it was believable. With the attitude she had, seems like she would've run off guy after guy. He had just enough confidence, though misguided sometimes, along with asshole in him to contain her.

yeah it felt like they went through the motions with that one.

[mingus]

He was great in FDTD.

That was his niche. Or it should have been. When he tried to be an Oscar actor or do some artsy type role, he lost me.

[monosylab1k]

Out Of Sight is far and away his best movie. And Syriana is far and away his worst.

But yeah, he was a pretty bland actor, aside from having good comedic chemistry with the Coen Bros.

[Chucho]

I always thought he could have done anything Mel Gibson did, they just seemed so similar.

You think Clooney could've played William Wallace?

No way.

[unleashbaynes]

Damn, we're in a tight spot

[SpursforSix]

You think Clooney could've played William Wallace?

No way.

Lol. That's a funny thought. Or Mad Max. Or even Martin Riggs.

[Chucho]

Lol. That's a funny thought. Or Mad Max. Or even Martin Riggs.

I totally see him as Riggs.

[SpursforSix]

I totally see him as Riggs.

Idk. I'd have to see it. I think he'd be wrong enough by a couple degrees.

Finding a suitable Murtaugh would be rougher, tbh imo.

[SpursforSix]

Finding a suitable Murtaugh would be rougher, tbh imo.

Idk. I think that's not hard. Lou Gosset Jr. or Billy D. If he has to be negro. Even Eddie Murphy.

[Pelicans78]

Stupid, tell that to the million sailors who were there before me and the million who were there after I left. Stupid, do you have a clue at all? My God you're stupid. And....do you know what the legal age was over there? Ya don't do ya stupid?

So tell us what really happened.

[Quadzilla99]

You fucked an underage girl?

[Chucho]

Isn't Gossett older then Glover? Billy D Williams is still alive?

[SpursforSix]

Isn't Gossett older then Glover? Billy D Williams is still alive?

Yeah...Gossett is definitely older. But Lethal Weapon was like 30 years ago. He would have been young enough to do that. I don't know if Billy D is still alive.
Yes, he's still alive but as old as Gossett.

[Chucho]

Yeah...Gossett is definitely older. But Lethal Weapon was like 30 years ago. He would have been young enough to do that. I don't know if Billy D is still alive.
Yes, he's still alive but as old as Gossett.


And this is why I rely on you as THE Expert here on ST. Much thanks.

[SpursforSix]

And this is why I rely on you as THE Expert here on ST. Much thanks.

And let's not forget that the Lethal Weapon series pretty much made Glover a household name. Sort of. He was good in The Color Purple.
The point being that there were probably many unknown black actors that could have stepped into the role and made it work.

Honestly, Samuel L. Jackson could do it. ANY black guy roll he can do. He's a legit GOAT black actor, even moreso than Denzel.

[SpursforSix]

Or it might have possibly been a boy. He's not sure.

[Quadzilla99]

Or it might have possibly been a boy. He's not sure.

He also said: "And....do you know what the legal age was over there?"

I'm scared to look. What if it was like 12? What if it was 10?

[SpursforSix]

He also said: "And....do you know what the legal age was over there?"

It doesn't matter. His defense is that everyone else was doing it.

[140]

Pretty sure he has said before it was 12 tbh. It's one of his excuses

a week too late... but do people actually give macchio credit for my cousin vinny? ive never heard that

LOL, same here. That comment reminded me that he was even in it.

knowing him the answer is probably

no i've never heard that either but i'm sure liberals would

[Chucho]

Im confused.

[SpursforSix]

Oh snap. Was Macchio a victim?

[Chucho]

I dunno, but Richard Dreyfus is the latest accused.

What if Swayze "Sheened" little Ralphie on the set of Outsiders? Tbh, if I had to lay money down tho, it'd be on Cruise.

[spurraider21]

Im confused.
somehow he'll find a way to blame liberals

[Xevious]

Pretty sure he has said before it was 12 tbh. It's one of his excuses

I believe it was fourteen. And his argument is always "the legal drinking age was 18!" Doesn't mean anything. Just means he took advantage of some child sex slaves. Poor girls or their family's probably weren't getting paid shit.

[Chucho]

somehow he'll find a way to blame liberals

LOL, gotcha.

[DMC]

a week too late... but do people actually give macchio credit for my cousin vinny? ive never heard that

No. That's my point.
