Trump will call him a mediocre actor in one of his upcoming rants because Trump is Putins cock holster

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 26 points 11 months ago

You shouldn't degrade cock holsters by lumping Trump in with them.

Mr. Clooney's reaction upon hearing the news:

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 22 points 11 months ago

What is this from? I guess I've never seen him in his youth

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Do you have just like a trillion gifs saved somewhere, or do you make them on demand?

[-] variants@possumpat.io 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Not op but if I need a specific gif of some movie I was reminded and I cant find it online I'll go on my plex app and record my phones screen and then use that to make a quick gif on imgur haha

I wouldn't fuck with George Clooney, Russia. His much more important wife is probably already planning to take you down in the ICC.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it really sucks that her husband is more well-known than her and I have a feeling he'd agree.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 10 points 11 months ago

Not if the US takes down the ICC first!

Makes me chuckle to think that Russian propagandists are like 'Well no one will believe us if we call him a bad actor'

It's about time someone makes Clooney pay for his role in Batman and Robin.

Oh no haven’t they seen the Oceans series?

O Brother, Where Art Thou? is my favorite movie

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 31 points 11 months ago

That soundtrack alone is pure gold, let alone the story of Odysseus told in the deep south.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

As well as The Wizard of Oz!

I'm sooooooooo confused by this story. First off, how is George Clooney authorized to arrest anyone??? Under what authority? And where would arrested convicts be held?

I guess the russia side of the story makes sense from their perspective. State run media, is spewing state run propaganda. That I get. I don't agree with it, but I understand what is happening.

But I don't understand how George Clooney is arresting anyone. Can Tom Hanks set up a foundation and arrest people? What would happen if Tucker Carlson moved to russia, and set up a foundation to arrest American reporters?

I do not understand the rules here at all.

[-] nickhammes@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I assume his nonprofit is finding people with arrest warrants, and telling police where they're located?

Mediocre? He's the goddamn paterfamilias!

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 27 points 11 months ago

I guess we will have to arrest renowned Russian actors like.... Ehhhhhh... Eva Elfie?

Seriously, I was going to say Milla Jovovich but she's Ukrainian.

[-] HUMAN_TRASH@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Mila Kunis? Nope, also Ukrainian

Oof, is Russia going to war on two fronts?

Ask Hitler how well that turned out for him.

[-] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Uh oh. Now Fox News has to run non stop breaking news about fabricated stories involving Clooney. Can’t wait for house republicans issue subpoenas to George Clooney for investigations into his woke agenda

Given this reaction, he seems to be doing something which is working.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

He is. He's married to Amal.

[-] corus_kt@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

Maybe it's been all the terrible news lately, but every now and then nonsense news like this just brings a smile to my face

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Big talk coming from a mediocre country.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 11 months ago

russia didn't declare war on amal because amal would destroy them.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

That isn't George clooney.. That is Jurge Clooners

This would explain the other article I saw about a US-Clooney $20 billion arms deal.
