George Clooney is a dog...

Re: George Clooney is a dog...

Hoping to beat porn producers from cashing in on the 3D market, jealous of the recent success of a certain 3D movies and that he was not included in the cast of Alice in Wonderland 3-D, angry that his version of Batman in Batman & Robin was voted the worst movie in recent history, and excited to share his love of latex catsuits in a new technological platform, Clooney's handlers are reporting that he is selling his Italian villa (because no one in Hollywood is willing to back his ideas anymore) in order to raise capital for his remake of Batman & Robin 3-D so that he can reprise his role of Batman and prove everyone that he is indeed a seriously talented actor. Haha.

Re: George Clooney is a dog...

After realizing he isn't the biggest buck in the woods, his girlfriends were using him to rub elbows with younger studs, noone wanted his signature and his career was a joke, Clooney went straight to the booze and pouted throughout the Academy Awards show.

(The Frisky) -- Was is just me, or did George Clooney seem upset at the Oscars last night?

His sourpuss act in the front row almost made me miss Jack Nicholson smirking in his dark sunglasses. And George's lady, Elisabetta Canalis, wasn't looking too chipper either -- those two had "Debbie Downer" written all over their faces.

Sure, George played nice for two seconds on the red carpet, but once he got inside ... forget it. What the heck does he have to be so pissed about? Here are our best guesses.

1. George is over it. He's happy where his career is and this whole Oscar business is too much of a pretense for him to even pretend to enjoy it anymore.

2. Elisabetta told George she was pregnant just moments before their Oscar limo arrived.

3. He knew he wasn't going to beat Jeff Bridges, plain and simple. Sure, he has an Oscar for best supporting actor, but he wants the big boy. He resented wasting 14 hours of his time for a loss?

4. George hated his floppy, gray hairdo and couldn't stop thinking about it long enough to have a good time.

5. George wanted to go stag, but his publicists forced him to take Elisabetta to help him shed his swinging bachelor image.

6. He was wearing Spanx to hide recent weight gain. He wasn't unhappy -- just uncomfortable.

7. He likes to ride his motorcycle on Sundays, and his whole routine got thrown off.

8. Like any man, George hates seeing all of his ex-girlfriends in the same room at the same time.

9. He was trying to tone down his enthusiasm so as not to make Elisabetta feel bad that she didn't get nominated for her role in "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo."

10. George and Elisabetta got their Botox injections too close to the big night. They wanted to smile, but just couldn't.

11. Some starlet accidentally stabbed his toe with her stiletto while walking down the red carpet.

Re: George Clooney is a dog...

Two of the stupidest things I've read Armenians do, or, are going to do, in a long time.

Joining others at a Shoah Foundation gala honoring George Clooney. http://asbarez.com/113617/armenians-...eorge-clooney/

Meeting with the American J-ewish Committee. http://tinyurl.com/qzrozof[url]

George Clooney, the American J-ewish Committee and the Shoah Foundation are not friends of Armenians or genocide recognition.

In the past decade, has Clooney or these organizations taken any position of the
displacement and murder of Christians in Iraq, Egypt, Syria or anywhere in the Middle East?

And, Clooney's attorney who also reps Spielberg is a great friend of Turkey, former president of the AJC, current board member of Public Broadcasting Corporation and was a local PBS honcho when PBS permitted a debate about the Armenian genocide after showing a film on the genocide.

This same attorney is on the board of councilors for the Shoah Foundation, is a lifetime trustee of USC and is a Trustee for the Alfred Herrhausen Society (an international forum of Deutsche Bank). And, also supports regime change in Iran (the consequences for Armenia are unknown).

If similar persons and organizations denied the holocaust, do you think American J-ews and American J-ewish Organizations would be joining to honor them and meet with them? No, they would be boycotting them, protesting them and making sure the whole damn world knew exactly what they were - TRASH!!!

Hey, instead of meeting with the AJC and joining Shoah to honor George Clooney, cut to the chase and go have tea with Erdogan and thank him for how he treats Armenians and Armenian history.

Face it, George Clooney sucks

With his underperforming film “Tomorrowland,” George Clooney has once again taken a hit at the box office.Photo: NY Post photo composite

It’s time for Hollywood to face facts: George Clooney is not a star.

If you matched them up head-to-head, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson would crush him — and I don’t just mean literally.

Clooney’s latest is the gargantuan flop “Tomorrowland” — a $190 million bomb (not including $100 million or so in worldwide marketing costs) that looks like it’s going to gross a little more than half of that at the North American box office.

It’s delicately being referred to as an underperformer because no one in Hollywood wants to hurt the fragile petals of Clooney’s feelings.

The failure of this supposed tentpole release is yet another sign that Clooney, who has been headlining movies for 19 years, just doesn’t sell tickets. If his movies took in a dollar’s profit for every magazine cover and breathless infotainment tidbit on him, they’d earn more money than they actually do at the box office.

Stars like Johnson get fans excited enough to actually go to the movies. Clooney doesn’t.

One role for which he was perfect — Danny Ocean — has created a lot of value for movie studios. Apart from the three “Ocean’s” movies, the only other time he ever toplined a major hit was “The Perfect Storm” in 2000 — a movie whose star was a wave. Clooney wasn’t pictured on the poster of that one and barely featured in the ads.

Except in those four films, audience interest has been sparse.

From “One Fine Day” (1996) to “Batman & Robin” (1997) to “Solaris” (2002) to “Intolerable Cruelty” (2003) to “The Good German” (2006) to “Leatherheads” (2008) to “The Men Who Stare at Goats” (2009) to “The Ides of March” (2011) to “The Monuments Men” (2014), if Clooney was the main attraction, the movie was somewhere between a disappointment and a flop.

A couple of his Oscar-bait movies, “Up in the Air” and “The Descendants,” maybe broke even. It’s hard to say. Running a simultaneous Oscar campaign and general publicity campaign is so expensive that it might have eaten up most or all of the apparent profit on these seemingly modestly budgeted films.

Of his 25 starring movies, four made a significant amount of money — that’s a .160 batting average.

That ain’t cleanup hitter. That isn’t even big-league. If Clooney were a shortstop, his only prayer of staying on the team would be if he were the owner’s son.

It’s not like Hollywood lacks for stars, defined as “people who actually sell tickets.” Again, look at Johnson: His notorious flop “Hercules,” from last year, still managed to gross $73 million in North America, $243 worldwide.

That’s better than any of Clooney’s movies has done since “Ocean’s Thirteen” eight years ago.

Johnson’s “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” didn’t land him on the cover of GQ — but so what? It banked $335 million worldwide. Clooney has only starred in two movies that did better than that in his entire career (the first two “Ocean’s” films).

By contrast, Johnson’s three “Fast and Furious” films are by far the three highest-grossing entries in that seven-film series. Hell, even Johnson’s dumb “Tooth Fairy” movie did better than most of Clooney’s.

If the success of “Gravity,” which grossed more than Clooney’s five preceding live-action star vehicles combined, is any indication, any producer hiring the actor for his movie would be best advised to kill him off in the first 20 minutes. (Sandra Bullock, on the other hand, has top-lined four hugely profitable films in just the past six years.)

Clooney isn’t “America’s Leading Man” (Vanity Fair, in 2006, breathlessly promoting his flop “The Good German”) or “The Last Movie Star” (Time magazine, 2008, breathlessly promoting his flop “Michael Clayton”).

Clooney isn’t even a movie star. He’s just a guy who keeps getting highly paid to make movies nobody wants to see.
