Although I am not at all fond of his political views (and, frankly, do not care to hear them), I think he is a pretty good actor and I enjoy his movies.

We ALL can have a bad day, even an actor who feels challenged by a reporter. I am sure Clooney is defensive about the movie because it did poorly at the box office in America and he put a lot of himself into it.

Besides, doesn't a reporter lose his journalism cloak when he says "I found your movie boring", as opposed to sharing some other person's review of the movie and then inviting Clooney's comment?

When asked about the poor quality of one of HIS movies, I understand actor Michael Caine once smiled and said that he had a very high lifestyle that is well maintained by a low grade of movie. I prefer Clooney's honest (albeit overly defensive and emotional) reaction to Caine's smug quip, don't you?

Just my two cents.

I prefer Caine's remark --- actually it seems more honest and not that smug --- Clooney on the other hand (whom I've never liked) is uber sensitive and seems to not be able to take criticism....



Hey Clooney, Solaris SUCKED!

No, I prefer Caine's wry self-deprecatory humour.

Given a choice of the two... I prefer Caine's response. It is witty and diffuses the argument- yes, to you, my movies may be of poor quality, but they most certainly afford me a high quality of life.

FWIW, I enjoy watching both actors.

Well, I should think so after "Jaws 4"!

Hardly... Caine has more class in his eyelash than Clooney has in his entire swollen head.
