I like Jon Stewart's response on The Daily Show to Fox's allegations that Warren Buffet is a socialist. He said, yeah, that's like saying that George Clooney is gay for banging a lot of chicks.

George Clooney is sexy even with that rubber face delivering his voice.

...that is since the first one has no votes you wish this to die, yes?

My father is very literal-minded and has real trouble making sense of scenes like this. For instance, the scene in Michael Clayton when George Clooney stands with the horses on the hill was a big mystery to him.

The YouTube commenter that gwiz is quoting also has some trouble with literal-mindedness. Not as much trouble as my Dad, but it never crosses the commenter's mind that Alex Cox (the director) is merely constructing a series of symbols. In the commenter's world, this scene can only be a thing that he can identify with, a dream. It must be a drug-induced dream: the human construction of an altered mind.

Well, why should it be so limiting? Ask Blankfist, he'll tell you that directors are visual storytellers. Cox had to figure a way to wrap this tragic tale up in some artistic fashion. Why not re-tell Sid's entire story in the last scene with nothing but symbols? Sid eats pizza in the wasteland (working-class England), he is belligerent and anti-social (flipping the table over), he begrudgingly dances with little kids (the Sex Pistols), and then he dies with Nancy (the taxi).

In fact, the soundtrack lists the title to this gloomy instrumental song as "Taxi to Heaven." So is it a dream or something much much more subtle and therefore better?

I rest my case, your honor.

George Clooney seems like an intense chap, doesn't he? And every time I see Tarantino on film I'm reminded what a shit awful actor he is.

but a brilliant director.

Just this very second George Clooney blew me. Okay. Now I'm rubbing it in.

Okay, now you're just rubbing it in.

Ooooh, good stuff! Congrats, definitely. Can't wait to watch it!

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Yes, actually. We got limited theatrical here in the States. We'll be playing in Carmike and Wynnsong. I don't have actual locked down dates yet, but there it is. Pretty exciting.

In reply to this comment by Sarzy:
Thanks, blankity blank. So -- what's the latest with your film? Any news on a release of some sort?

> George Clooney will win the Oscar next year for his performance in Up in the Air.

And Kanye will get up and say....

I just realised that when he gets his head turned round and he's looking at the camera, this reminds me of George Clooney getting knocked out in Oh Brother Where Art Thou. So Hollywood.

> in the thumbnail volumptuous looks like dr. house.

in the video there was a moment where he looked like the lovechild of Jeremy Irons and George Clooney (obviously delivered Cesearan)

^ like who's the better batman, Michael Keaton or Christian Bale?
(if you even say George Clooney, i will stab you in the jaw!)

If you get around to watching it, lemme know what'cha think. You may get a kick out of Jullianne Moore's role.

Sam Rockwell is the shit! Anyone that plays Zaphod Beeblebrox is cool in my book. Though my favorite role of his has gotta be Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind -- Love that movie sooo much. Which brings to mind a genius writer (Charlie Kaufman) and an actor/director who is both over and underrated: George Clooney. I love half of his work (inevitably the underrated stuff) and the other half I could do without.

Diane Keaton, Nicholas Cage, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, etc. etc. Don't do it for me either. Though Cage Occasionally gets it right. (Or maybe it's the writers.) Mel, Mel, Mel -- what scares me about him is that his true personality may be Martin Riggs, but with a touch of the religious zealot. Definitely not a good combination. I would be careful not to harm his dog.

Favorite actors... Oh my, where to begin. So many decades of cinema to recall! To avoid a carbon copy of your list -- all noteworthy thesbians -- I'll fill in some of the missing pieces: The Marx Brothers (I love them all equally), Hepburn's flame, Spencer Tracy, the other Hepburn, Audrey (mostly because of those eyes), Cary Grant, Humprey Bogart (Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon are films that I can watch from any point and be satisfied completely for every second the films goes by), Lauren Bacall (Ze Big Sleep; dear lordy, more top ten material), Clark Gable, Gary Oldman (You said it, but he's too good and far too underappreciated to not mention), Helena Bonham Carter (another one I CANNOT avoid mentioning -- a dark favorite of mine: Morgan le Fay, Elizabeth Frankenstein, Ophelia, Anne Boleyn -- dear GOD, she's a even a freakin' death eater. She has to be a reader.), Elliot Gould (More noir favorites), Michael Gambon (brilliant), Alan Rickman, Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Brad Pitt, lil' Dakota Fanning, Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, and Dennis Hopper -- I think that's the cast of Blue Velvet, another potential top ten movie with top ten actors lol. Maybe we should make lists of the people we DON'T like... on second thought... (Sorry, this got long.)

Yes! Mothersbaugh, of course. Wes Anderson's pocket composer and devolution advocate. Don't forget Sigur Ros, either. That's the part of the movie where yer supposed to cry. I heart those Icelanders. A Bowie fan too. David Bowie is my best friend's father.

Make up a top 5 real quick. (No pressure.)

In reply to this comment by thepinky:
You're right. I have about 15 or so that are floating around in my favorites list. My top movies are not neccesarily the best ones I've seen. Like you said, they are the ones that I have an emotional connection to.

Wes Anderson is awesome but I haven't seen all of his films yet. My favorite so far is also The Life Aquatic. I love those covers. The Mark Mothersbaugh numbers are awesome, too. The scene where Steve introduces his boat and crew, accompanied by Mothersbaugh's "Let Me Tell You About My Boat" is one of my favorite scenes. I also really liked The Royal Tenenbaums.

Oh, underappreciated and overrated actors. It is relatively easy for me to rattle off some of my favorite actors. Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Ingrid Bergman are definitely in the top 5. Other actors I love off of the top of my head: Gary Oldman, Anjelica Huston, Gregory Peck, Katharine Hepburn, Bruce Willis (most people love him for the wrong reasons), Bill Murray, Charlie Chaplin, Helena Bonham Carter (I love how much her older stuff contrasts with her more recent roles. She's great.), John Goodman (I have always had a thing for this guy. He is a pleasure to watch.), James Stewart, Topol (I've only seen him in Fiddler but it is one of my favorite performances EVAR), Henry Fonda, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Oliver Reed. This list was about 5 times as long before I cut it down. You're welcome.

I'm sure you're the same way that I am with actors. Sometimes I love them because they are truly great actors and sometimes I love them because they are good actors and you just enjoy watching them for whatever reason. I admit that one of the reasons that I love Newman, Brando, and Bergman is because they are all incredibly sexy. They also happen to be exceptional actors. Who are your favorites?

Severely overrated: Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton (used to be okay, now I can't stand her), Nicolas Cage (liked him in Matchstick Men...which reminds me that I love Sam Rockwell), Keira Knightly, and there is something about Mel Gibson's acting that seems...is it insincere? Affected? All I know is that something is off with him and I'm not a fan.

I'll rent The Big Lebowski one of these days.
