Just had to say it once!
-
...is writing, what, a non-shitty show? Doubt it.
-
Gee, he dies at the end while we see what kind of good guy or asshole he's been. So what? If I want that, I'll watch Biography.
-
Well said, sir.
-
seriously...why bag on this...especially when you know that the payoff will be, he realizes that his life wasnt so bad, right before he goes splat
-
I mean, really, sounds like HIMYM without the positive future.
-
at the end of the season (series?) finale, a garbage truck will drive by and he'll land in it, safe and sound.
-
But, like the Variety article says, they've got pilots this season called 'the fall of bob' and 'the end of steve'
I'm guessing one of those is going to change before this is all over. -
Hits mattress or something equally stupid.
Americans have such an ungodly fear of death and dying. -
But when I realized Clooney wouldn't really be taking his own life, I was a little let down.
-
NOT SHITTY
-
I see a pattern emerging here...
-
His productions always bomb... be warned. Anyone remember K Street lol?
-
I'm glad Showtime is throwing shit at the wall, but I'm thinking I don't want this shit to stick.
-
He wants to do political or human interest stories. We get enough of those everyday. Just pick up a newspaper. People want to be "entertained," George, that's why they call it the "entertainment business." The sad part is, is that you're allowing great scripts with great roles to slip through your fingers and one day when you look in the mirror and you don't recognize the leading man that once was reflecting back at you, you'll have missed out and never get another chance at what could have been.
-
I believe George was just nominated for an Oscar so I guess his careers doing all right you douchebags.
-
Is that he's such a talented, cool and overall successful guy that one has to dig pretty deep into their reserve of douchbaggery to come up with an insult for him.
-
...to pop his soul?
-
...a little too kind, actually. Is turdbortion a word yet?
-
The man is a little full of himself. Remember that bitchy little rant he issued to the press after some bullshit surrounding Batman & Robin? South Park nailed ol' Gerogey boy on the 'smug' factor for sure. I think if Clooney does win an Oscar he'll send up a Native American covered in oil riding an electric scooter to accept the award.
-
I'm sure Clooney cares about our talkback. Guy sleeps on a pile of money bags and super models every night. Tom Brady wishes he was Clooney. BTW, for Heckles: I'm not 100% on this, but didn't Clooney *discover* the South Park guys? And how is no one flaming V'Shael??
-
It's either that I spoke the truth, and people agree.
Or, more likely, it's just one mans opinion and no one else gives a shit.
-
I don't give a s**t, but I've seen 1000 post talkbacks for way less than blanket statements like that, whether they be truth or not. In fact, this is the thinnest talkback I've ever seen. Not a very glamorous topic, but still.
-
we reach 1000 posts, knock yourself out. I'll be happy to help by being a completely obnoxious foreigner, communist, gay, atheist, librul, redneck, French man.. whatever you need to set up some truly hilarious insults.
-
I should type up a list of failures and see if I can get a new job.

Starring George himself. He could don his old Batman Cowl and blow his fucking brains out.
I would dance. I would dance the dance of black rubber nipples. -
Damn You MCMLXXVI

You would think G.C. would have better things to do then produce a sitcom on a network nobody watches. I guess not.
