Check out my man Mike (a.k.a Miketastic, a.k.a. Mixed Media Junkie, a.k.a. The Don)’s Oscar roundup. I am so with him on this bit in particular:
Is there a cooler motherfucker in the business than George Clooney? (Cool motherfucker used to be a term associated with Samuel L., but I think he lost that status by vacillating between roles in movies like Pulp Fiction with duds like S.W.A.T. and The Man.) Clooney just seems to have it all - looks, talent, money, clout, a newly-won Oscar, and a rather dry wit…
If I were to pick a Hollywood leading man to be, I think it would be George. I’ve thought that at least since I watched Ocean’s Eleven and thought: “Damn, I want to look like that in a suit.”

Look, ma! I made it into Phil’s blog! I have been officially welcomed into the blogosphere.
Anyway, I just watched Out of Sight last night, and it might as well have been a prequel to Ocean’s 11 - Clooney, Cheadle, Soderbergh - Ocean’s 3, perhaps, before Danny Ocean became so smooth at capers.
Yes, welcome to the blogosphere, Mike!
Good call on “Out of Sight”, GC was totally smooth in that one too. And it had something for everyone, a little J-Lo (pre total media blitz), a little George.
When I saw it in the theaters there was a woman in the audience who audibly whimpered when Clooney took his shirt off, followed by a loud “God-DAMN!” from some guy on J-Lo ass shot.
