Saw it with Mrs. Nasty and her two sisters. It was a huge gamble as the evil sisters lean more toward mindless action flicks. They were blown away and I was considered a good husband (for at least a day). There was one jaw dropping moment in that film, and I know you know what I'm talking about, that made the audience collectively catch its breath. I honestly believe it'll be mostly overlooked when Oscars are handed out. That will be a great, great shame. Paltrow as Best Actress, Hopkins as Supporting Actor, and several others are deserved.

I think your point that Clooney was considered an embarassing dinosaur is prolly correct. I remember that conversation you referenced and his subsequent interview.

Give corporations a chance. They're made up of, by and large, decent, educated people. Of course there are exceptions (ENRON!!!), but they aren't the rule. Movies rarely portray their true character (that wouldn't be any fun would it?).
