I feel that George Clooney is an overrated actor that sometimes lets his ego get in the way. Most of his movies don't do well and the ones that do well have to involve other movie stars.

Can't go wrong with Alexander Payne, pretty much sure-fire quality when he's directing.

remember Clooney lobbying for Thomas Hayden Church's role in Sideways. Clooney can't turn this down.!

The Ocean bunch is getting great offers from the best directors out there.
