Forty-nine years of marriage is quite an achievement. May God continue to enrich your marriage with joy and harmony. My husband and I will be married 23 years this coming May. We have had some really horrible years but as time goes by it gets sweeter and our friendship deepens. It’s a shame that a lot of people will never get to that point because in some of the bad (or boring) years they get divorced.
When Clooney was done giving his speech, I looked at my wife and said: “Boy, it is hard to hate him. He really seems like a good guy.”
My wife(a conservative) said: “Why do you think all the women love him so much.”
About ten years ago, Hollywood critics and reporters just woke up one day, and all agreed that George Clooney was the Cary Grant or Robert Redford of modern times. It’s all been decided by a consensus, just like man-made Global Warming.
George presents himself as a slightly more mature, urbane version of Ben Afleck. Both are favored because they act in or produce politically correct movies and themes. The quality of acting tends to vary as per movie, sometimes as per scene.
Intends to run for President sooner rather than later.
He’s been picked to play 0bama in a film.
For the same reason hundreds of thousands listen to Joel Osteen.
Probably just the fact that it was the least stupid thing George has said in many years.
He is a very good looking man but I suspect he is less than meets the eye. He has picked some “noble causes” sort of, but I doubt he is all that bright. He could have had - and did - any woman ever. I believe the problem with his women is that some of them tried to block his view in the bathroom mirror. He chose a woman who is so supremely confident in her world stature - she isn’t unattractive but her confidence is the strongest thing about her - that she won’t be after him for much. He probably has to please HER rather than the tiresome women always trying to knock themselves up (I suspect he probably had a vasectomy, which doesn’t even need to be reversed if now he chooses children - it is simpler to just aspirate some boys and inseminate his wife) or get him to marry them etc.
I would compare this to the situation that presented when Kim Basinger was sued for breach of contract regarding her refusal to appear in the film “Boxing Helena”. She got on the stand and it was as if she first said “ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille” - her testimony was full of Hollywood grade acting. The Jury had to be saying - what is this that we are observing? [She came out on the short end of $9.5M judgment.]
I would tend to think that jurors dismiss a great deal of testimony from professional actors.
Likewise, when George Clooney makes these kind of remarks, in that setting, I would just expect the audience to see pandering. But you never know. With today’s population mainlining a steady diet of People Magazine and other celebrity culture, maybe they buy it. Oy!
I don’t get it. He’s weird.
I give the marriage less than 5 year IMHO she is already bored to tears with the dude
My 2 cents:
He was good in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but only marginally because the music carried the movie. He really should never have been cast as Batman. He has that stupid grin on his face on the time, and Batman is a serious guy, even though he wears a mask and a cape and goes around in tights. Other than that, I can’t think of any movie that he was in that I liked enough to remember.
I swear I don’t get the appeal. Clooney is okay-looking to me, but that’s about it...nothing special at all. Different strokes, I guess.
Isn’t what the public sees of George Clooney really just a phony representation?
Rhymes with loony ...
On the cover of some magazine at the grocery store this week the headline read “ITS OVER” next to a pic of Clooney and another of his wife.
Maybe he just didn't get or like your little joke.
I have been unmarried for decades, to the same person.
