Compare the two, and you'll see what I mean...

I don't buy it...Dwight could kick his ass...
This was pitched as BAD NEWS BEARS meets CINDERELLA MAN by BeeDub	Sep 6th, 2007 08:33:29 AM
I betcha.
Oh, and PLANTS! by BeeDub	Sep 6th, 2007 08:35:37 AM
Gotta say it.
vote for clooney by pipergates	Sep 6th, 2007 08:50:43 AM
what happened here? don't you people want an actor-president who's liberal, progressive and even smart?
Sounds a bit contrived. by Jakes Nel	Sep 6th, 2007 08:51:16 AM
But hey, who doesn't like George, right? And Good Night and Good Luck was a swell little film.
After Good Night and Good Luck... by beastie	Sep 6th, 2007 08:55:48 AM
I'd watch Bratz if Clooney directed it.
Why by thinboyslim.	Sep 6th, 2007 09:09:17 AM
was the I'm Shy review posted again? and was the previous Wes Anderson article posted twice?
I like Clooney as an actor, but I love him as director! by DerLanghaarige	Sep 6th, 2007 09:17:00 AM
Seriously! I even will watch this movie, although it's because of the american depression and football!
Oh and I had another Howard as/the Duck moment here. by DerLanghaarige	Sep 6th, 2007 09:19:27 AM
There were some moment in which I though you talk about "The Return Of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", just because of Zellweger + Leathersomething.

Were is the edit button? Every site has one!
"THE BAD: I don't care about the depression." by Person 246	Sep 6th, 2007 09:25:58 AM
This says more about you, and today's audiences, than it does about this or any other movie.
The Depression is Boring! by TheBladehelm	Sep 6th, 2007 09:56:44 AM
What the hell? I don't CARE about the depression? I am with person 246, this is a sad fucking state of affairs. What a shoddily written review as well. Are there any standards for submitted reviews, or does one just have to claim to have seen the movie?
"And how very tall!" by PVIII	Sep 6th, 2007 10:01:36 AM
sounds like a gay frenchie to me.
Good Luck Chuck? by Bloo	Sep 6th, 2007 10:11:05 AM
I read that and thought I just misread it, reread it again...WHAT THE HELL!? I know You meant Good Night and Good Luck, but typing good Luck Chuck??
It's our duty to watch it... by freerangecelt	Sep 6th, 2007 10:53:13 AM
as part of the production was filmed in our county seat and it's being exported to the rest of the world. Seriously, it sounds like a fun movie, and while here in NC George was nothing but the gentleman that he is. So I hear. But then again, I'm from NC and will believe most anything. Free
not to be a hater,but that first review was awful by liljuniorbrown	Sep 6th, 2007 11:21:41 AM
Good Night and Good Luck Chuck? I don't care about the Depression? Oh So Tall? Sounds like it was written by a transvestite with severe ADD.
truly up there with the worst reviews this site has by PVIII	Sep 6th, 2007 11:53:36 AM
ever posted. You don't have to throw up everything guys.
1925 is NOT the Depression by CMND	Sep 6th, 2007 12:04:34 PM
The film takes place in 1925, which was well before the Great Depression. That said, I want to see this. When does the trailer come out?
Randy Newman is a freaking genius by Krinkle	Sep 6th, 2007 12:05:26 PM
And if you're too young, naive, hateful, or just plain stupid to realize that, it's your loss. You know, I'll bet you motherfuckers just don't like the name "Randy"... Ever hear the Randy Newman album GOOD OLD BOYS? It's a lot better than Panic At The Disco, folks...
Hey geniuses - I think they meant the GOOD LUCK, CHUCK by martianalien	Sep 6th, 2007 12:12:38 PM
line as a joke.(i.e. thers a movie coming out w/that title)???!!! These reviews are perfectly fine. Its you self serious nerds that are annoying. And I'll be honest - I'd prefer my football comedies w/out a failed economy to bring the tone down too! Sheesh, you people are in need of help. Get a life.
As soon as I heard the premise by skimn	Sep 6th, 2007 12:49:45 PM
I thought of Clooney's work with the Coens, and the possible influence. And I think Zellwegger is perfect for period films ( ie Chicago, Cinderella Man ) with her pinched kewpie doll face. And I think Clooney is an old school nostalgic. So will this be screwball funny, charming funny, or just plain not funny?
Newman's by skimn	Sep 6th, 2007 12:50:36 PM
The Natural score gives me friggin goosebumps whenever I hear it.
Shouldn't the headline read by wharpua	Sep 6th, 2007 12:51:18 PM
"...Whether LEATHERHEADS Is A Touchdown Or A Fumble!!" (seems like a no-brainer to me)
No, these reviews do suck by coolhanderik	Sep 6th, 2007 12:51:23 PM
Seriously, especially the first one. What kind of scum simply "doesn't care" about the depression?
Oh and Vinzo by skimn	Sep 6th, 2007 12:57:20 PM
Hepburn was never in His Girl Friday...nice try though. She did her share of romantic comedies.
martianalien by Bloo	Sep 6th, 2007 02:09:37 PM
first of all, I don't think it's meant as a joke, maybe it is, if it is, it's a piss poor joke. Jokes and sarcasm are often hard to detect espically on this site and 2nd of all...I don't know if coming on a movie geek website, reading the story, then the talkbacks, then logging in and posting that we are a bunch of nerds and need to get a life isn't similar to the pot calling the kettle black
About 'piss poor players...' by Wolfram	Sep 6th, 2007 03:41:40 PM
Even in the NFL until the 60s and massive TV money, football was a part time job for the players. 'Concrete Charlie' Bednarik got his nickname because he sold cement in the off season.
Why is there a heart shape opening up the text... by Lenny Nero	Sep 6th, 2007 04:16:28 PM
...in the ninth paragraph? Anyone else notice this? Sigh, I hate being a former news editor. I can't focus on stories anymore.
Since John Krasinski is in this by Anastasia Beaverhausen	Sep 6th, 2007 05:13:05 PM
do he and Renee give each other longing glances and have flirty conversations only to have it go nowhere by the end of the movie?
A Touchdown Or A Foul by AustinIdol2000	Sep 6th, 2007 06:39:01 PM
Don't you fuckin' nerds ever realize that football has PENALTIES and not FOULS??? I guess you were too busy getting stuffed in your locker to play sports. And have you ever kissed a girl???
PV111 has posted on here SEVERAL TIMES... by martianalien	Sep 6th, 2007 07:02:36 PM
simply criticizing everyone else's criticisms. So I take back 'you all' and just say to him - Hey nasty little bitch - get a fucking life! "truly up there..." WHAT A PUSSY.
Actually, football DOES have fouls... by CMND	Sep 6th, 2007 10:09:03 PM
Had the title read "touchdown or personal foul" it would have sounded much better.
"I don't care about the depression" ... by Cruel_Kingdom	Sep 7th, 2007 12:08:57 AM
Gee, showing your lack of intelligence there, sport. That sounds truly ignorant. That's like, "I don't care about the Holocaust." Ugh.
Roaring 20's and Professional Football by MediaMensch	Sep 7th, 2007 10:24:03 AM
This movie was about the start of the NFL, Professional Football in the United States. That was the original core premise. Anyway, I was an extra in the movie...some articles on the experience of filming can be found at www.mediamensch.com and also on www.TheClooneyProject.com The film is by Universal (NBC) so expect it to be promoted on Sunday Night Football. It releases right after the Thanksgiving weekend and just prior to the start of all the college bowl games...so the marketing is perfect.
Scene with a player on a stretcher by MediaMensch	Sep 7th, 2007 10:25:59 AM
Was there a scene where a player was carried off the field on a stretcher?...Just asking...as I was the sideline photographer in that scene.
"nam was all hype?? " by deadshot07	Sep 7th, 2007 12:49:16 PM
I laughed for five minutes.
His Girl Friday by ScottsWillie	Sep 7th, 2007 09:16:07 PM
Hate to get picky, but, KH wasn't in 'HGF' That was Cary Grant (who GC so desperately wants to be) and Rosalind Russell. One of the best comedies ever made.
