I’ve watched the career of George Clooney for several years, from his “why did he leave a successful show” ER-years, to his “Batman” boondoggle, to his (unsuccessful) season of “keep-women-away-I’m-training-for-an-Oscar”, & then on to his low-profile film-wise for the past few years. Looks like all that has changed.
Sporting a Hollywood good looks & “guy-next-door” likeable smile, Clooney is a “Costner gone bad” Red-State Nightmare now that he’s fronting not one but two controversial films this year. But what’s great about him, is his complete understanding & utter self-effacement of what all this “means” to his career.
on TV last night:
Somewhat Annoyed (Female) Interviewer: “What do you say to the ppl who just think, Here’s another elite Hollywood Liberal, out to save the world?”
Clooney: “Well, I don’t want to save the whole world, just a little part of Hollywood”.
Still More Annoyed (& Flustered) Interviewer: “Well, after going after the Media, & then the CIA, who are you going to go-after next?”
Clooney: “At this point in my career, I’m lucky that I can get a few of these films made… but for not much longer, I think. So my next film will be a comedy”
Astonished Interviewer: “A romantic comedy?”
Clooney: “Sure. A romantic comedy… about Avian Flu”
Perfect.
