Thank you Clay... I can't stand having to hear from Actors and Musicians as if they are IN THE KNOW about politics. When is Clooney's 15 minutes up?

Clay and Dickie:

You guys are both way off-base. So maybe it isn't fair that some people are paid so much more than the rest of us. That is an issue to talk about another time. Right now, we should be GRATEFUL and SUPPORT anyone with power (like George Clooney) who is willing to speak out for ordinary people. You sure don't see business-people doing what George Clooney is doing. I myself come from a very poor background and now am comfortable financially. Like George Clooney, I try never to forget that there are people who are not as lucky. I speak out and help those people whenever possible. It makes me mad when my old friends turn on me, like you are turning on George Clooney. George Clooney (and me) is not the target here. He is trying to help. The bankers and corporations are the targets. Don't hurt yourselves by targeting people who are trying to help!

HOMOPHOBES! I can't believe CNN allowed these comments up!

"Clay" and "Dickie" as they're calling themselves, are speaking from hate – and not referring to content but rather someone's perceived homosexuality!

TAKE these HATE comments down CNN!

Un-effffffin- believable!

...And the Film is fantastic, I saw it earlier this week and showcases the issues with a sensitive eye.

Actors, musicians, artists of all kinds, are often the first to speak and the first to be heard. If we left it up to our elected officials all the time important issues would not be brought to the forefront. Id' rather someone drawing attention to issues as opposed to cloaking them.

Clay–So George Clooney, one of the best actors in the business, is a loser? In what universe? And do you expect him to stop doing what he's good at because of the money he's making? Would you? Yeah, I thought not. As for the rumor that he's gay, it's a rumor until proven otherwise. And even if the guy is gay, he's still a person whose worth on this planet equals yours.

Dickie–Clooney is a UN Messenger of Peace and co-founder of Not On Our Watch. He dedicates a lot of time and energy to stopping the atrocities occurring in Darfur, and he's a member of the United Way's Board of Trustees. He probably knows a lot more about political issues than you or I do, simply because he has to. From what I've heard, he's smart and earnest in his convictions. Btw, being an actor or a musician doesn't preclude knowledge or insight.

Annette–Thanks for the sane and balanced input.

This movie sounds boring...I'll wait for cable. Labor movies can weigh you down with issues. Who want that when for just out for entertainment. Clooney seem to attract the worst fans...those who out his sins or encourages them. I wonder of Clooney's silence: is he giving consent or just scandalizing souls?

I guess according to you being an actor precludes having brains or the gumption to actually use them.There are many actors who have graduate degrees from prestigous universities.They chose to be actors because that is their passion.It requires absolutely no brains to bash people.May I ask what have you done to make the world a better place.Just as I thought.Nothing

Back to the subject at hand – THE MOVIE. Thank for an insight into the plot of the movie, CNN. Having seen only the cuts shown on TV i would have been completely surprised when the movie played – the cuts make it seem to be a 'love comedy' ! I sometimes wonder just who chooses the cuts for trailers – and what movie they saw,

Hello, this my first attempt to try to post, have a good day
