Anybody else seen MICHAEL CLAYTON yet?
Awesome, awesome movie.

George Clooney should get an oscar for this. Parts of it felt like watching The Insider. Secret Memos, Corporate bad guys, hit men, gambling problems, and Tom Wilkinson too.

:-)

So intense I had to come home and polish off a (mostly empty) wine bottle.

:toast: to Micheal Clayton

1. I did.
I think I'm going have to see it again to see how all the parts in the disjointed first few minutes fall together. I really liked it: the plot was great and the casting perfect.

2. Tilda Swinton is
almost unrecognizable.

You're right I might have to see it a second time to make sure I got it all.

I wish the parallel story about the kid and his book had been more developed though. That feels like a missed leitmotif.

3. She resembles Kate Blanchett.
but tends to take much stranger roles.

I look forward to seeing that film.
