This film is co-produced and co-starred by the wily George Clooney. Remember this no-talent loser? The one who, when asked what he thought about Charlton Heston having come down with Alzheimer's disease a few years back, said something to the effect "well, he deserves whatever he gets....he's the president of the National Rifle Association." To my knowledge, he has never made amends for this outrageously disgusting statement. It shows he has no heart and no class. I'm sure it's a good film, actually - it would be interesting to see this take on McCarthyism. But anyhow, I'd encourage you to please *at least* wait for it to go to the video store (less $ to makers per rental), or better yet, download a copy off the internet from pirates if you must see it. Thanks!
 
Take a flying leap, Clooney

No doubt about it, George Clooney is a grade A scumbag. It is one thing to disagree with someone or to dislike what they believe in, quite another to ridicule them when it is discovered that they have a crippling and probably life-ending noncurable disease.

Anyone who ridicules the disabled, crippled or infirm is a sack of feces on two legs. Clooney has the same mentality as the able-bodied scumbags who take handicap parking spots at the mall.

Anyone with any decency or integrity should boycott his so-called work. He's just another third-rate Hollywood Demosocialist hack.:barf: :barf: :barf:
 
Yeah, he's just one of a bunch of "sick" Hollywood liberals. They were raised (if at all) by rebellious, liberal parents at a bad time in our history. They know absolutely nothing about what they are talking about.
 
Ann Coulter rips George Clooney's third-rate propaganda movie

Best-selling author Ann Coulter says you can credit - or rather, blame - her for George Clooney's recent movie about the Joe McCarthy era.

Clooney "claims he was driven to make the movie "Good Night, and Good Luck" because "a book came out about how great McCarthy was," Coulter writes in a column.

She excerpts a recent published interview where the actor was asked if Coulter was the reason behind his movie:

"Q: Ann Coulter's 'Treason'?

Clooney: Yes."

"Needless to say I was shocked to learn that George Clooney can read.:D Liberals haven't been so alarmed by a book since 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.'"

Coulter's book "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism" explores, among a number of issues, the career of Sen. Joe McCarthy, and maintains he was basically right about Soviet agents working for the U.S. government.

Coulter cites the movie's "two examples of McCarthy's perfidy," Annie Lee Moss and Milo Radulovich.

"As described in detail on Pages 62-64 of 'Treason,' Moss was a proved Communist Party member - who happened to be working in the Code Room of the Pentagon," writes Coulter, whose latest book is "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)."

"It was an act of sheer madness.

As for Milo Radulovich, he had absolutely nothing to do with McCarthy. McCarthy never mentioned his name...

I guess [Clooney] borrowed some of Al Franken's fact-checkers.'"

"Good Night, and Good Luck," which Clooney directed, focuses on Edward R. Murrow's attempt to take down McCarthy through his news program.

But Coulter says "it was hardly an act of bravery" for Murrow to attack McCarthy.

"Every known news outlet was attacking McCarthy ... Murrow merely jumped on the liberal bandwagon."

Coulter adds that she doesn't intend to see Clooney's movie, saying "half the reviewers so far have said 'good night' to Clooney, and the other half have said 'good luck.'"

Yup. Amen. That's why he's beyond scum. It's one thing to be tricked by the hollyweirdos into thinking that guns and the NRA are evil, and jump on the hoplophobe bandwagon, when one grows up in an ivory tower, as Clooney did. It's quite another thing, however, to have zero sensitivity to finding out someone has come down with a debilitating and deadly disease, esp. one who is regarded as such an iconic actor over the decades in Hollywood like Heston, and should thus garner some measure of respect from all young actors.

Thanks for the heads up on the Ann Coulter connection. Sounds like its getting bad reviews.... "HA, ha!" [/Nelson]
 
untill now,rosie was the only"hollyweirdo" that i knew that was anti-gun.

and now clooney.weird thing is that considering all the movies he has made that guns were involved.(the three kings.the peace keeper,etc)
 
I can't claim to be a big McCarthy fan, but I have to admit I'd like to see how he'd rake ol' George over the coals. Tha' commie. I wouldn't see any Red George film on principle alone.
 
I already had no intention of seeing the movie due to his liberal minded propaganda way of showing McCarthy(I pretty much agree with everything Coulter says) and I never liked any of Clooney's movies.
 
Hey you all this is political arena for weapons and weapons law not a an actor bashing arena. Please take it some where else.
 
no sweat, i wouldn't watch anything that dingleberry is in anyway.

yea rosie-o-slut has calmed down a bit after the bad press she received. but there are plenty more rectal drippings to fill her shoes.

clooney, sean penn, streisand and hundreds more. :(
 
First Freedom, so what is your goal for this boycott? What do you want to have it do to Clooney?

I don't think the name calling on your part does much to add support to your argument. Obviously, your evaluation of his as a no talent loser isn't supported by reality. His talents have made him a wealthy and powerful individual.

Your suggestion that folks should view it via a pirated downloaded copy on the internet isn't too swift since you are suggesting folks break the law.

Not to worry, I won't be going to see it, rent it, or downloading an illegal copy. The advertisements simply didn't make the movie sound that interesting to me. Plus, the whole McCarthy aspect is just going to be yet another historical rewrite with a lot of artistic license and probable misrepresentation, and yet some peope will come to believe it as a legitimate documentary.
 
Clooney next film is another liberal "the USA stinks" feast. In Syriana, Clooney is a CIA agent acting like a terrorist killing and blowing up stuff in a peaceful(???) Islamic country for the benefit of Oil companies.

The Good Night and Good Luck movie concept really turned my stomach. Let's see the US government is weeding out communist by having trials and forcing people out of positions of power by blacklisting them....Meanwhile over in the USSR the government they are weeding out non communist, and without a trial, are either killing them, imprisioning them, or putting them in exile in Siberia. Stalin Killed more people than Hitler, they were trying to take over several countries including the US, and they had nukes pointed at the us. What were we supposed to do???

I think the more money and fame you get, the stupider you become.

He's been on the same list with Jane Fonda since he made that statement.
The only movie of his that I ever liked was Dusk till Dawn and that was just because Salma Hayek's cameo
 
Discussing the McCarthy era is one thing.

Bashing an actor and his movies (no matter how bad they and he, might be) is definitely not Legal and Political material.

Closed.
