    These CGI-fests have a habit of celebrating the technology over the story that grows very old 40 minutes in.

    A-effing-men. #themenwhostareatgoats

    I cried at seeing just the trailer for Precious, and I was well prepared for the content as I had read the book. I dunno if I can watch the whole movie without turning into a puddle of tears. #themenwhostareatgoats

    @filthy tongue: I opted out of seeing it at a festival for that very reason--like I need to be seen blubbering uncontrollably in public by people I know? I'll wait for a matinee full of strangers.

    @filthy tongue: That's the problem with Precious...I'm sure it's an amazing movie but I don't want to see it simply because it looks too depressing. #themenwhostareatgoats

    @VioletViolet: All the more reason to see it--this trend of heavy movies is cathartic and medicinal during these heavy times in which we live. #themenwhostareatgoats

    I saw The Men Who Stare at Goats at a film festival. Huge disappointment. Your cause for concern nailed it, Richard. One joke stretched out over two hours of hit-you-over-the-head, broad, zany, tedious permutations. #themenwhostareatgoats

    Um, Clooney TIFF season begins tonight, not tomorrow, with the Men Who Stare at Goats Roy Thomson Hall gala - torontointernationalfilmfestiv....ca/filmsandschedules/schedule?sdate=11/09/2009">[www.torontointernationalfilmfestiv....ca] .
    Don't try to throw Torontonians off our stalk.... er, viewing schedule.

    Fact check: Syriana 50M US, 95M worldwide, no Brad Pitt. Clooney on stage constantly, won the Oscar for best male lead.

    @RamseyGaia: Hmmm...no Brad Pitt, but maybe he wasn't available and that's why they got Matt Damon?

    I really liked Syriana. His other fare misses the mark, IMHO. Good night, and Good Luck felt like a cable movie--very disappointing.

    Clooney carries himself like the film stars of legend and his confidence perpetuates the myth.

    What??? "Out of Sight" was a movie for our times, Richard. Great art does not always make a lot of money. But I will tell you right now that that weird divorce movie that also starred the hot chick from Zorro changed my life. Box office! Pfft!

    why are the journalists at film festivals so goddamned STUPID?

    Oooh, oooh! *hand in air* I think I know! Choose me! Okay, then, it's been my personal experience that MSM still does not take film and film "happenings" all that serious, especially when they aren't "American" film happenings. Therefore, they find someone who is willing to do coverage for the event either pro bono, or close to it and more for the privilege of attending the festival at somebody else's expense.
