I'm willing to give Mr. Clooney a pass on this one, which is the least I can do considering how much I enjoyed his performance as the Oompa Loompa in Wonka.
I think George is still convinced he's irresistible, so I'll let him enjoy his bubble. He's looking a bit.....East Indian though, NTTAWWT, maybe it's role prepping. I think his best performance was in 'Hail Caesar', probably because it came naturally.

Napoleon's jewels came from the looting of Europe. These thieves did much less damage. Napoleon had the soul of a Jacobin. I think it's fair to root for the thieves, but I can see why Clooney would feel ambivalent. He'd feel less ambivalent if they pulled off a job in Mar A Lago.
There is much discussion in France right now - based on initial assessments of 'clumsiness' - that if this wasn't a commissioned-heist the thieves may just be dumb enough to destroy the treasures to extract their raw value seeing as they're completely unsaleable intact no matter how black the market. In which case not just lame, but also tragic.
thats possible, but if youre going to commit a heist in the louvre, you should put some work into it, like the panther gang, featured in den of thieves sequel' (its not as good as the original, despite the more expansive tableau) ex serbian commandoes who have done heists all over europe,

People who did nothing to build civilization are sometimes blithe to its fall.
Clooney is looking awfully thin. Needs to beef up a little.
Ocean's Depression
Yes, the gap between his neck tendons was so gaping, at first I thought he had a tracheotomy! CC, JSM
" Said George Clooney, making some funny faces..."
The technical term is Residual Pegging Face.
Amal has been driving home some lessons to her hubby regarding circumference.

If you haven’t watched Ocean’s Eleven in a bit, give it a whirl.
I too, thought Clooney looked unpleasantly thin. The way he keeps his arms crossed says to me he's fighting a chill from the room's A/C.
Out of the three, I thought Ocean's Thirteen was the best.

Cool, funny things with the appearance of terrible things.
When the off-camera persona showed up on camera.
If was a very lame operation
He's probably already got some scribblers working on a treatment

Like I asked when Ann first posted this story, where was George Clooney last Sunday morning?
