Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
George Clooney could do Cary Grant, and indeed has. (See Ocean's 11.)

George Clooney is the new Cary Grant. I've thought so for a while now.
He's a big old Grant/Hudson sandwich. In that smooth, suave, composed star way.
That's much of what went through my mind when he put his hand in his pants pocket as he was going down that escalator in Ocean's 11. Let's not talk about what the rest of my mind was engaged in.

No way. He's the new Gable.

Per-xactly.
And Clooney is one of those actors who is making me think of how much better they look when they're older vs. younger -- and THEN it's making me think that, maybe they look better when they're older because I, too, am getting older and therefore my tastes are changing.
But then I think, no, there are some young guys who I dig (Frankie Muniz, I'm looking at you), so maybe it's NOT because I'm aging.
Maybe Clooney and Redford really just ARE getting better as they age. (Though Redford may have reached critical mass of Older=Hotter, because now he's starting to look like a sharpei. But, say, 5-10 years ago? He was as hot as he's ever been.)

You were thinking about a hole in the pocket weren't you?

Huh. I don't see that. I see George Clooney, and I see Cary Grant in The Philadelphia Story.
Gable has a vague vulpine quality that I don't see in Clooney. But I *do* see it in Jude Law, though it might just be that picture of Jude-as-Errol that's making me think that.

Dude, it's practically canon.
Dude, it's practically canon.
Frankly, my dear, I don't....see it. These eyes see a Grant ---> Clooney line of descent.
I see Grant as Teh Uber-Suave, and Gable as Teh Slightly Dangerous and Vulpine.
Everyone must now fall in line and agree with me.
