I think... this is good. I don't know much about these things so is this great? If so, congratulations, George and all!

I don't know about these things either, but I'm assuming it's good to still be in the top 5 three weeks after release. Does anyone know whether it's showing at more cinemas now or is it still only on limited release?

in the top 5 three weeks after release
not bad
not bad!!!

I read an article on CU forum that said George is not getting any profit from "foreign" proceeds. I don't know if this included domestic proceeds or not. It was a little confusing how they reported it... I hope George gets something for his work!

by cindigirl Sun 23 Oct 2011, 17:00

I read that the proceeds from his Danish bank commercial was donated to the "Sentinel Project" for Darfur.

by Cinderella Sun 23 Oct 2011, 17:19

That's wonderful! This man makes me think all the time. Wish I could donate that much to a worthy cause!

by macs Sun 23 Oct 2011, 19:32

I'm seeing it tomorrow, finally ! can't wait
and i've managed to keep away from spoilers (generally don't have the patience, so I admit : I cheat) but this time I've made it

by pattygirl Mon 24 Oct 2011, 02:03

I believe George said that the bank commercial paid for the Satelite, not a donation to project.

by cindigirl Mon 24 Oct 2011, 21:50

The Ides of March domestic box office numbers totaled $29,159,426 as of October 21st.

Still waiting on IOM to hit our theaters... Confuzzled

At this rate, the Descendents will be out before IOM is playing here locally. Rolling Eyes

However, a brutal Ohio primary threatens to test Morris's integrity. Stephen gets trapped in the down-and-dirty battle and finds himself caught up in a scandal where the only path to survival is to play both sides. The all-star cast includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood.

◦Commentary with George Clooney and Grant Heslov
◦Believe: George Clooney
◦On The Campaign: The Cast of The Ides of March

oh wtf
some Special Features only on blue ray????

Evil or Very Mad

by pattygirl Tue 13 Dec 2011, 15:33

That seems to be what they're doing a lot lately. It's a pain, but they're really pushing BluRay. Sucks if you don't own a player, but they are really coming down in cost.

by it's me Tue 13 Dec 2011, 15:36

humpft

by cindigirl Tue 13 Dec 2011, 15:37

Yeah patty, it seems DVD players came out not so long ago and now they're pushing BluRay.

And it's me, the first three special features that are on DVD are IMO the most important. Just to hear George's voice is enough for me. LOL

by melbert Wed 14 Dec 2011, 02:45

I've already ordered mine!! Can't wait!!!!!

good I didn't know too much

I saw a good Hoffman
but it was, I guess, a too short part

brava Evan!
e mi è piaciuta anche Marisa

amazing music
as usual

damn good plot
a good finale too

totally open

lot of George in this film
even if not many shoots of him (good, he saved his health)

all of his appearances were so very well awaited

finally un film di G
senza G?

by it's me Fri 16 Dec 2011, 21:53

dimenticavo:
bravo Georgino

i watched it today and it was greeaaat!!! G directing touches were spot on..every actor was given his right role and every one got his moment.. the car scene was great idea!! the kithchen scene was amazing moment for G, he showed alot in a couple of moments..first he was confident then starts worring then we see his dirty side, his careless about what happend then his wishes that everything is safe!! it was amazing!! for the first time i really hated him!!! which means he did his part very well!! great performances from all!! but actually i kinda hated some of Gosling acting, i mean there were moments when he overacted..but otherwise it was great movie!!! thanks George & Grant!!

by it's me Wed 21 Dec 2011, 19:44

I find it too
a really good movie

made by honest people

by blubelle Wed 21 Dec 2011, 21:22

It's too bad that thoughtful films, ones that make a statement, that make you think, are not the ones that get the big payday. The demographic that film makers seem to aim for are younger and enjoy special effects. It bothers me that certain posters on other forums call G's films flops because they don't rake in the big bucks. The reason I admire G is for his dedication to making films that say something. I know they all don't - that's the trade off he says he has to make. I think he would like to be thought of as a film maker and actor who's work stands the test of time.

by it's me Wed 21 Dec 2011, 21:42

it's right what he wants
I think Smile

and I guess he will get too Very Happy

You nailed that one Blubelle! That's exactly what he wants. I think he wants his films to the on the "list" that he has his favorites on from the 60s-70s, the ones that mean something. So in another 40 years, his films WILL be the list!

It's Me's first article Google-ized:

Napolitano joins a queue to bottegnino
to see the movie "The Ides of March"

Afternoon Filangieri for President of the Republic which, on leaving, was warmly greeted and applauded

Giorgio Napolitano, has granted an interlude devoted to the cinema and, because of a cloudy after the rain, went to the cinema Filangieri, along with wife Clio, to assist at George Clooney's 'The Ides of March'.

Like any citizen, the President of the Republic has stood in line at the box office, waited his turn and he was personally paid tickets for the screening of the film starring George Clooney.

Out of the cinema which is located in the center of Naples, the president was greeted by several passers-by. "Welcome back to Naples, the president," they said while some citizens applauded.

The head of state, with his wife Mrs. Clio, he returned the greetings and was then directed to walk to the car for a few minutes Presidential paralyzing traffic parlor of the capital of Campania.

As mentioned, the President of the cinema ticket Neapolitan bought two tickets and, once he enters the room, it is accommodated between the seats of fifty spectators who respected his privacy without approaching or ask him questions.

until 5 March Tears of frustration

I'll get mine in a few days!!! I'm sooooo excited!!!!

by madsky Sun 08 Jan 2012, 17:03

A lot of George's fans lament the fact that George's movies aren't the blockbuster paydays, and some of his "haters" can't stand how he gets to keep making movies without a blockbuster. The reality is the type of movies George makes are what keeps the movie industry running. Most make a healthy profit, and they don't break the bank to get made. Remember for every Star Wars there is five bombs, and the industry really doesn't try to make a ton of them, because they could break a studio.

I finally saw IOM today. Loved it! Not just because of G, it really was a good movie.

by Joanna Wed 18 Jan 2012, 20:26

Pleased you did enjoy it MGK. From all the clips I've seen it looks a quality film. I have to wait a while for my DVD !

by pattygirl Sat 21 Jan 2012, 02:58

Just finished watching IOM on BluRay. Enjoyed it as much the second time. Love seeing the movie in the theater - George is divine when larger than life. I enjoy the BluRay version because we get all the commentary that goes along with it. All the behind the scenes stuff is fun to watch, and all the explanations with George and Grant are fun to listen to. Could listen to George all day (and night). He could read me the phonebook and I'd be completely happy. What a voice. Love it! I love you
