Clutch!?
This book had no plot. by Christopher3	Aug 27th, 2008 08:52:17 PM
It was just a bunch of funny editorializing. But hey, Reitman made a movie out of Thank You For Smoking, so he's the right dude for the job.
is this a sequel to One Find Day? by RexGattling	Aug 27th, 2008 09:04:45 PM

Who doesn't like Clooney? by KirkLazarus	Aug 27th, 2008 09:11:58 PM
As for "hits," he has had five flicks gross over $100 million domestic. And that does not include most of the movies that he's done that are actually great. Anyway, I think he and Reitman would be a very interesting pairing. I'd watch it.
Clooney is the mother fuckin coolest cat ever... by DarfurFTW	Aug 27th, 2008 09:15:11 PM
....along wit brad pitt. There the cool of cool, and thats why the ocean's movies(at least the sequels) thought they were the coooooool movies of cool, but they sucked donkey dick. That fag has to get over himself
juno was mediocre at best by El Borak	Aug 27th, 2008 09:19:33 PM
don't get the big deal about that.
According to "Diablo Cody"... by Jed Black	Aug 27th, 2008 10:25:23 PM
Jason Reitman is a genius.
BUT HE'S A LIB!!! by ebonic_plague	Aug 27th, 2008 10:48:00 PM
furiously whines and mastubates simultaneously
Juno was good, but... by C0ns	Aug 27th, 2008 11:15:47 PM
that's it. just one of many good/great movies. Not Oscar nom worthy. Reitman is badass though and he shouldn't be antagonized because his movie became overrated. Anyway, really looking forward to this collaboration and hoping for greatness.
What's up with the Metallica iTunes controversy? by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Aug 27th, 2008 11:40:58 PM
Sounds like the new album sounds bad. Worse than St. Anger, but St. Anger was supposed to sound like that, I guess.
Clooney has some fucking great movies... by TheWaqman	Aug 28th, 2008 01:12:04 AM
Syriana being at the top of the list. Man that movie was great. I think he's fucking awesome. Although this movie sounds like shit. And Reitman is pissing me off. Juno made me want to fucking cut my ears off, the dialogue was horrible. But I guess that was more Cody's fault than his. Thank You for Smoking was fucking great though.
Jason Reitman by Series7	Aug 28th, 2008 01:21:30 AM
Is so fucking overrated. Like Apatow overrated almost.
How about "Thank you for smoking director by bottombrick	Aug 28th, 2008 02:44:54 AM
Jason Reitman". And all the pre-emptive Clooney defending has me itching to start talking shit about him, but I'll wait until after Burn After Reading comes out because if that motherfucker goes 0 for 3 tanking Coen brothers movies I'll... shit my pants and whine like a baby.
Could not care less about Juno by JackRabbitSlim	Aug 28th, 2008 05:02:26 AM
That soundtrack - hideously annoying. Juno herself- too cutesy-clever by half. But "Thank You for Smoking" earned Mr Reitman at very least a 5 movie pass for me.
Bah! by Karl Childers	Aug 28th, 2008 05:48:16 AM
Poor Jason Reitman. He should've really followed up Juno with somebody else starring. There are way too many Clooney haters. The guy's box office poison alone.

Thank You For Smoking was genius by m_prevette	Aug 28th, 2008 09:08:31 AM
.....but Juno was WAY over-rated - but based on "Smoking" , Reitman can deliver the goods
Clash of The Mis-Nominations! by Spandau Belly	Aug 28th, 2008 09:12:33 AM
So we get the star and the director of the two movies that got Oscar nominations they didn't deserve last year teaming up? Maybe that means this year when this movie gets nominated for best picture I'll only be baffled by one entry as opposed to the Juno-Michael Clayton way over-rated duo of last year. And hell, maybe they'll even send Zodiac and Assassination of Jesse James a fruit basket to apologize.
When it earned a Best Picture nomination... by Darkman	Aug 28th, 2008 10:24:48 AM
...that was the exact moment JUNO became overrated. It was a decent comedy, but things need to be kept in proper perspective. In a just world, THANK YOU FOR SMOKING would've been swimming in Oscar nominations, esp. for Aaron Eckhart.
Synopsis by Bass Ackwards	Aug 28th, 2008 11:25:04 AM
That synopsis looks to have been written by someone who has just been waiting and waiting for the opportunity to use the phrase "Pyrrhic victory."
Great, a famous actor who likes taking on... by qweruiop	Aug 28th, 2008 11:55:57 AM
...a lot of quirky roles, a director who enjoys only making quirky movies, and a story featuring one of the quirkiest concepts ever. This just screams of having the Bravo Channel seal of approval for a funky, quirky, pretentious movie.
sounds good by sharpie	Aug 28th, 2008 12:05:36 PM
Clooney's the man, and Thank you for Smoking was 10 times better than Juno. If there's anyone who can make it great, its Reitman.

At least its not AC/DC's new cd, they sound like a metalocalypse parody of themselves, rock 'n roll train? seriously?
