IMO, his wedding was much more out there and open than the usual celeb wedding. I mean, the taxi parade was instance, especially for George who is Mr Stay Out of My Private Life.
I'm just assuming this is for Oscar/Golden Globe press push, and to get Monuments Men back in people's minds. Or this is all the biggest practical joke ever.

That would be hilarious, since Monuments Men really sucked.
Honestly, though, I'm really interested to see him show up at awards show because now all I want to see is what his wife wears to the red carpet.

I had no idea that Monuments Men didn't come out during Oscar season last year. I watched it on DVD and assumed it came out at Christmas time because of that scene where one of the guys was tucking his kid into bed while a moving Christmas Carol was playing (which, by the way, was the exact moment I took the DVD out of the machine and returned it to Netflix).

IIRC Monuments Men was supposed to come out last November but got pushed back because it wasn't quite done or something like that. After seeing it, I'm pretty sure it got pushed because it sucked. It was Oceans 11 in nazi Europe. Clooney's writing and delivery tics are cute the first few times you see them, but he's falling into the rut like Julia Roberts (and many others, to be fair) where you can almost predict line delivery.

What a great idea for a franchise! It would be like Dave Chappelle's Time Haters, but with Damon, Clooney, Cheadle, the other people, and occasionally Elliot Gould.

Since when has that stopped a movie from being nominated for Oscars?

True. But critics and audiences both hated it, so I think think the dream is dead on that one, hah. At least it wasn't a box-office bomb...

I saw Monuments Men and The Grand Budapest Hotel in the same week...I could tell you favorite parts of The Grand Budapest Hotel, have sought it out since it came out on DVD--hands down one of my favorite movies. I vaguely recall Monuments Men. I know I saw it...but I can't tell you anything really about it.

I know that Foo already wrote about the Sony hack in the Angelina Jolie thread, but I'd thought I'd bump up George Clooney's thread because of him coming out of the hack looking good, at least so far. While I won't fawn over him as much as Esquire does, I admit that it did remind me of why I loved Clooney during the time that he was feuding with Russell Crowe and had so many zingers about Crowe's band. George Clooney, Son of a news man, is smarter than everyone else hit by the Sony hack. (The whole title of the article is pretty funny, but I found the subtitle even funnier considering his wedding.)
