The Descendants Trailer: You Ever Watch a Trailer that Just Makes You Feel Good?

George Clooney is like painting your bedroom a soft blue. He’s just comfortable. He’s like an old shoe, only he’s really handsome and your wife would totally leave you for him in like half a second. No note. No phone call. No goodbye hugs for the kids. She would just leave your ass.

Clooney has softened a bit with age, and you can sense a really strong Dad-like quality about him, all of which fits in snugly with the tone of the trailer for The Descendants. It’s Alexendar Payne’s (Election, Sideways) first film in seven years. I don’t know what took the man so long, but if the trailer is any indication, it may be worth the wait.

C'mon what woman would cheat on Clooney?

I've come to realize that I like my Clooney either perfectly polished a la Danny Ocean or very scruffy and characterful a la Syriana. The whole "regular guy with bad, REALLY BAD, hair" doesn't do it for me. Of course I will see this, it looks interesting, but some of the tingle will be missing. Anything that reinforces the fact that he's old enough to have teenage daughters but still dates a girl in her early thirties just takes the shine off of him for me.

"...He’s like an old shoe, only he’s really handsome and your wife would totally leave you for him in like half a second. No note. No phone call. No goodbye hugs for the kids. She would just leave your ass. "

- Unless she happened to be married to him in this movie trailer, in which case he's the one who gets left with the kids.

Shenanigans!!!

Then again it is Hawaii, maybe the McConaughey surfed by.

I once said that George Clooney gets a lifetime pass from me, and I'll see anything he's in. My wife is really going to enjoy dragging me to see this under that pretense.

Jim Rash (Dean Pelton from community) actually cowrote the script.

And in Hawaii? Oh yeah, I'm so there.

I love that Clooney. I can't help myself. I think I'd probably stop to kiss my kids, but...well, come ON. It's Clooney.

Clooney as a potential leave-my-foxy-husband candidate does NOT float my particular boat, but he does float my solid-actor-but-it-depends-on-the-movie. This one looks good. He's not Preening, Cocky or Smirky Cloony. He's more Dad With Reassuring Vibe Clooney. Which means I'm in. And I LOVE the surprise Bridges touch. Good vibes all around.

Oh, that made me choke up. Dammit.

You know what that preview did? It made me want to see MORE. I'm pretty sure that's how they're supposed to work. OK, so how long do I have to wait? When is this movie coming out?

I want to see this movie and like it. But its got that stupid fucking bitch from Secret Life of the American Teenager in it. I have to watch that shit week in and week out because my wife has too many guilty pleasures, and the only thing I can say about the show is that little cunt (who's playing Clooney's eldest daughter) can't act worth two shakes of a dead dog's dick.

I would run over a bus full of nuns (who were transporting baby chickens and kittens who had been abandoned) while mocking the elderly and punching orphans to sleep in Clooney's bed.

Oh yeah, I don't see 'Dad' at all in Clooney. He's like Hugh Grant. Charming, possible scoundrel who helps a young kid but god forbid he spawns one of his own.

Election and Sideways were enjoyable enough, though I never got the "love" for Election. But when the trailer flashed About Schmidt I threw up in my mouth a little bit. I forgot that Payne had done that movie, one that I absolutely detested.

More like Cary Grant.

“Anything that reinforces the fact that he's old enough to have teenage daughters but still dates a girl in her early thirties just takes the shine off of him for me.”

To quote the great Jack Nicholson:

“Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City ‘Sailor wanna hump-hump’ bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.”

Didn't watch it. Hey, does Clooney still do that thing where he wobbles his head back and forward as he chunters his lines then looks down before raising his eyes to gaze out from underneath his bushy eyebrows, all Diana-like and shit. Because I fucking hate it when the smug arsehole does that.

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at May 26, 2011 5:01 PM

He's like Hugh Grant.

Exactly. Two people more deserving of a kick to the balls you will not find.

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at May 26, 2011 5:08 PM

Oh look, another Hawaii with only white people and not a trace of the culture that makes it the fantastic place it is.

Pass.

Clooney is one of those actors you asked that question about:

I used to hate him and his cro-magnon brow and his too many teeth but as the years went by I came to seehim very differently. I think it started with Three Kings.
