I am still not sure it can overcome my dislike for Clooney and his incredibly offensive "acting", but I will give it some thoughts.I didn't realize that the same guy did the Das Boat and the Air Force One. I don't even know what to make out of this at the moment. They represent completely opposing directions and since the Air Force was done later, could be considered a sign of definite decline, decadence, if it was not too simplistic. It is like a Stuka dive, 90 degrees and hell be damned, breakes stoved, and I just can't see any possible recovery there. Doing thing like that Air Force One forever tarnishes one's image (unless you are Mr. Ford) and I am really sorry to hear that. With Prokhnoff (sp?) already doing his darnest to become another one of many Hollywood plywood cutouts (while earning fine living, for sure, as one natural result of such prostitution), the last thing we needed was a talented guy doing the Air Force. Such waste.
The way it is, I am still greeatful to him for the Boat and still hope that the dive ends happily. I refuse to believe that someone with such vision can stay in the shit barrel for too long.
