Said Clooney, "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's." Ms. Smith then asked if he went too far. Clooney replied, "I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him."

Part of promo poster for "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind".

What a hypocrite! There are TWO guns in this movie promo poster. Both with evil silencers. "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" is the first movie George Clooney has directed. He could have chosen to make a movie without any guns.

I originally planned to see this movie about Chuck Berris (The Gong Show) and his supposed work for the CIA.

After Mr. Clooney's idiotic comments, I want to see his Directorial debut FLOP bigtime.

I had planned to see it too. It looked kind of quirky and I liked that; but I will definitely be skipping it now that I know the opinions of the guy who will end up with my money.
 
You guys do know that the movie is based on the autobiography of the "Gong Show" host? He claims that while acting as the circus ringleader for what can arguably be called the father of our modern day trash TV, he was also employeed as a CIA hitman. The man obviously got a little too close to that gong and the fact that Clooney is in his movie IMO is apropos.
 
Don`t know if this is a joke but I heard this morning he`s signed to do "Ocean`s Eleven II" That splat you heard was his career hitting bottom if true.:cool:
 
Clooney can't sing and the mandolin player from Alison Krauss' band (Dan Tyminski) had to stand in and sing for him.

I am a man of constant stupidity.
 
Geez Skunk. I thought I was the only one that enjoyed that movie. I was going to buy it until Clooney stuck his mouth in my way... "Dang, he's in a tight spot"!
 
I used to like him on the screen but...

The hypocrisy makes the gorge rise. Clooney's another H'wood actor who's made his mark playing macho guys who don't scruple to blow people away with nasty firearms. I think his truest performance, though, may have been in O Brother Where Art Thou? where he is inseparable from his hairnet.
 
You can be a good actor and a horse's *** both. Did anyone say Clooney couldn't act? Ditto Alec Baldwin, and the rest of the Hollywood Enlightened list. Their political views are naive, which makes sense when you consider that many of these folks are arrested adolescents. It's that charming narcissism that appeals on the screen but repels in real life.
 
O Brother soundtrack is good, but is nothing new or special.

Nothing in there was newer than 60 years old, but everyone was going nuts over it.

The musicians who got together to record some of the cuts are top-drawer, though. Alison Krauss is a hottie but her material is a little serious for me.
