Going to watch Syriana tonight...

[GraceUnderFire]

Is it very political and earnest or will I be able to ogle the Clooney without being sidetracked by isshoos?

You could always wear earplugs, should it become an ishoo.

Good idea. Or just talk through it. He is beardy in it, I believe.

He is a man of whom I should really disapprove but find absolutely gorgeous.

He is really rather lovely. Though the 'film' Clooney is not a patch on the "wet in a DJ Dr Ross" Clooney in the heady days of ER.

He is earnest and political too. Double whammy.

there can't be many women who would say no to George (though his beard looks v bushy)

I even rather enjoyed the fillum with Michelle Pfeiffer in it

So did I

One Fine Day?

I think you have to try quite hard not to enjoy him

He twinkles. I like a man who twinkles.

tis the eyes

though apparently in Syriana he had to put on quite a bit of weight - wonder it's possible to see past the blubber and the beard?

I manage it with dh (close my eyes and pretend he's George Clooney )

lol

Oh blimey.

I couldn't follow it at all.

I must be exceedingly dim.

It was oil, and dodgy dealing, and the CIA, and Iran, and possibly Afghanistan too (that's where they speak Farsi, isn't it?) and old George was a bit podgy and beardy and jolly earnest but still twinkly (in a beardy and earnest kind of way). And I fell asleep for a bit but, honestly, I don't think that impaired my understanding of the film in any way. And dh is still asleep.

Oh and Matt Damon's in it too. And there was a sad bit. And a yucky, hands over eyes bit (with George). And America were baddies (I think). And the doctor from Deep Space 9 was a goodie. But the America oil dodgy dealing people didn't like him.

Oh and pipelines and missiles and terrorists.

Mmmm.

I think George should go back to ER.

made eff all sense to me either - a bit too disjointed -

Managed to get half way through this (DH's choice)and can't face anymore after what happened to the little boy. NOT A FILM FOR MUMS OF BOYS.
