day two of 50 days of 50 greatest things: today, george clooney.
i went to see up in the air yesterday, solo (the husband had a class reunion-type thingy). i liked the movie...it's no "best picture" thing, to be sure, but enjoyable to watch. what is it, that i am so glamoured by mr clooney? don't know...i appreciate his graceful aging process, for one thing. but more than anything, he's just...charming. he smiles, i smile. he frowns, still, i smile. he furrows his brow, and i smile.
not so many actors can do this, can they?
back to the movie: traveling corporate man meets a female counterpart, and they bond over their lack of roots. not so ironically, his job is tearing up people from their own roots, firing people in downsizing companies. meanwhile, corporate man has to train a newbie, in order to save his own job. about 2/3 the way through, i was thinking, "do i like this?" i think there was a lull of "okay, they've played this already". but by the predictably tidy end, i was back onboard, and decided that i actually liked it.
thanks to mr clooney, no doubt.
