Like all those from Hollywood, he is one of the great minds of the century.I know a few people who work in Hollywood, and it's amazing the stories they tell about the hangers-on and yes-men who surround these people. No wonder they think George Clooney is some kind of genius. (Someone told me about his Oscar speech, in which he said Hollywood was at the forefront of making movies about social issues. What BS--they're so liberal and they didn't make a major movie about AIDs--"Philadelphia" until what, 1994?)

Clooney has an Oscar?
.
Edward G. Robinson doesn't have an Oscar.
He was never even nominated for one.

I haven't seen a movie in 15 years.
Am I missing anything?

This sounds like something out of "Monty Python":
Learning Japanese == Lesson 14 "The Bank Robbery"
Man: I would like to rob the bank.
Teller: I'm sorry sir, but I haven't completed the bank's robbery training. I wouldn't know how to fill out the paperwork, so I'm afraid I can't help.
Man: I see. Is there someone else that can help me rob the bank?
Teller: Mr. Sato has completed the training, but he is away on a vacation to Hokkaido.
Man: Do you know when he will be back?
Teller: He should be back next week. You could leave a note and he'll call you when he returns.
Man: I guess that would be alright.
Teller: We also have this brochure you might want to read. It is produced by the ministry of fisheries, ice hockey and bank robberies.
Man: Thank you very much. Oh. Do you know if I will need a gun or a bomb for the robbery? All I have is this rusty old sushi knife.
Teller: I'm sure that will be fine as long as it can cut.

Edward G. Robinson doesn't have an Oscar. He was never even nominated for one.Lots of deserving people never got an Oscar--Hitchcock only got an honorary one, Kubrick for special effects, Scorsese, nothing, Cary Grant, nothing.
They give them out to people for copying the mannerisms of famous people like June Carter Cash and Truman Capote and Katherine Hepburn.
I wish I could say you were missing something, but I am a huge movie fan and I have gone to the movies maybe 3 times in 2006. I don't even have a movie rental membership. I have hundreds of DVDs, most of them to movies from the 30's-early 80's.
Of late I've liked The Aviator, the Lord of the Rings, Collateral.
You're not missing much. Movies are not only made pretty much only for kids these days, but for stupid kids.

Am I missing anything? They put out about two movies worth watching a year so a bit but not a lot.

Most criminals and would-be criminals are not masterminds; they are exceptionally stupid and lacking in common sense. Perhaps this is why they were attracted to crime in the first place. This is a prime example.
