Ahh.....Clooney....

"Why are you mooning over Clooney?" asked Mom in a very disapproving tone. You see, she obviously did not like me wandering into what she firmly considers her turf. Well, what can I say? George Clooney's appeal transcends generations!

I would rate even a 30 minute video of Clooney sitting and reading a newspaper as award winning cinema. So, when I finally got around to watching Michael Clayton today, I think the movie buff in me died and went straight to heaven. The storyline was thought provoking, the screenplay was intense, the dialogues were cutting, the performances (especially that of Clooney) were awesome, and hey, did I mention Georgy Clooney is hot?

Tomorrow is the big Oscar night. Even though Clooney faces really tough competition from Daniel Day Lewis (who is such a spectacular actor that he can win an Oscar even if he, well, just sat in front of the camera and read a newspaper), I will be rooting for him. And Mom, we'll have to fight baby J someday over Clooney. Sigh......
