Very interesting guy, as well as purty to look at.

the Bay Area, no?

Love the California Flag.. Mahalo!

Hajimemashite! Dozo Yoroshiku! Aloha!

a Robert Downey line from Tropic Thunder went through my head- "Man, everyone's gay once in a while"

But when Robert Downey's character is talking to Ben Stiller saying, "you never go full retard". And Stiller killing the panda, Tom Cruise's Les Grossman character? Awesome.

I generally cannot stand him.

That said, it's great that he's on the right side!

humanity, and intelligence to go with it..

Plus!



Well, need I say more?

He's fine as wine in the summertime. He's got looks, brains and love for nature as well as for mankind.

Nature so much.

And, me being such a movie buff.. I like that aspect of him too.

thanks Illyah~

I like that about him!

I swear I'd go see him read the phone book...

I would watch him read the phonebook, too. I can't get enough of him.

Enjoy the show!

It's really quite good, altho if it weren't for Clooney I wouldn't bother, because space stuff just doesn't interest me that much. Also, Sandra Bullock is not my favorite actress.

Clooney is terrific, as usual, but he only has one scene where he isn't wearing a space helmet. But it doesn't matter because he is just so damn charming and fun in it and his voice carries a lot of his charm. I won't give away any details of the story in case you'll be seeing it.

The movie I really want to see later this year is "Monuments Men," which he directed and stars in. It's a true story of the art scholars, curators, museum directors who were inducted into the army during WW2 and planned the saving of Europe's art from both the Germans and from the war's destruction. I've read several books that chronicle this story and it's just wonderful. So you get great art and George Clooney (Matt Damon, too, who I adore) and a helluva story. It'll be in theaters in December and I can't wait!

LOVE smart men!!! As my Mum would have said " He can eat crackers in my bed anytime"

appeal!

Indeed, she!

He makes perfect sense, too!

George Clooney, Paul Newman, Robert Redford....


Great looks, intelligence, knowledge, sense of decency and work to make the world better for those they do not even know.

oh, yeah...Barack Obama.....silly me...

Especially in the early days, before he was a movie star, when he was on ER. It was the looks but also the charming self-effacing mannerisms. I knew he was gonna be a big star when I first watched him on that TV show.

then! Good movie.. thanks FailureToCommicate!

Along with the likes of Amelie, Shawshank Redemption, Life is Beautiful...

Love it! Ralph Stanley, T-Bone Burnett!

And, I was a George Clooney fan long before he became buddies with Senator Barack Obama.

Sure glad you are on our side.

it's like to have such compassion for humanity, Liberalynn!

and who knew, unlike Matt Damon and others, has a bit of sense. Actors are likely emotional types, but I guess this one can think in terms of reality also!

go Ignorantly whining about what he knows nothing about.

Obama on Clooney.. From August 19, 2012

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight that will air Monday, President Obama discussed his friendship with George Clooney, calling the actor a "wonderful guy."

"The truth is we got to know each other because of a substantive issue," Obama said. "He is a terrific advocate on behalf of the people of Darfur, and to the people of Sudan who've been brutalized for a long time. And so when I was a senator -- this was well before I was president -- that was an issue that I was working together on a bipartisan basis, and George, who had traveled there, done documentaries there, and was very well-informed, came to testify in Congress. And so we got to know each other, and he is a good man, and a good friend."

While the president praised the actor's humanitarian efforts, he also noted the effect Clooney's star power has on members of his White House staff.

"I will say that the couple of times he's come to the White House, I notice that the staff suddenly is circling around my office," he said. "They've got memos they need to make sure I see right away."

Michelle Obama also weighed in on her husband's celebrity pal, joking that she thinks it's a "conspiracy" that she's never around when Clooney comes to town.

Mahalo treestar~

know what you mean..

in its truthful simplicity.

And it's true!

It was not the tea party, it was the Republican party. If it was the tea party, Boehner could call for a vote tomorrow, he doesn't call for a vote so it is the Republicans that shut the government down. Majority rules even within a political party, it wasn't 30 people that shut down the government, it was the entire Republican party.

Don't give the Republicans an out, they want to be able to say "it wasn't me, it was them", we can't let them do that.

The tea party was created to move the Republican agenda faster and it is working.
