I don't blame Clooney for being a forgettable actor for acting, his boyish sad smile is sufficient. But I would pick Ocean's 11 and the Descendants as his best
Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

These were all enjoyable movies. But Clooney's acting to me was vanilla, maybe the role was vanilla. I think he is cast as good guy with a problem, good guy who solves the problem, conflicted, mostly bad guy, charming criminal we tend to support for sad cute puppy face. Maybe he is not relatable because of his good looks for most of us. Not his fault :) But think of Paul Rudd, who is also charming but has 10 times more angles complexity, dimensions to a role. Clooney has maybe 4, his characters become him, whereas Rudd becomes the character. Well, what do I know. I could be totally wrong.... |
@grislybutter: I haven't seen Clooney in that many movies, but the only role I saw him really "sink his teeth into" was the one in O Brother, Where Art Thou?. In The American he displays no personality whatsoever. A very "flat" performance. But the story is an interesting one.
