Have you seen this promotional pic of the new movie The Descendants? Did you wonder what George Clooney was hiding from?
Turns out his co-stars.
I saw the movie this afternoon with my friend Caroline who is visiting from Kentucky — George Clooney’s hometown, in fact. (She knows the man.) So we were excited to see if the movie and George himself deserved all the Oscar buzz.
Not so much.
Apparently director Alexander Payne spent all his money on the big man himself and surrounded George with a TV movie-of-the-week cast. I mean, Shaggy from Scooby-Doo as his co-star? Get real.
While there were excellent turns by Shailene Woodley as George’s oldest daughter Alexandra and Beau Bridges as his cousin Hugh, no one else really measured up to George or the script.
Hey Alexander — when you center a film around a sick room, you might want to make sure your cast is healthy first.
Dole out the pain
You know the pineapple, the international symbol of welcome and hospitality?
A Michigan man used one to knock his wife unconscious at their home last weekend.
Leave it to a man to turn fruit into a weapon. But why pineapple, previously only associated with luaus and fruit salad and tacky bed-and-breakfast decor?
Granted, it’s big and beefy, and the outer shell would leave an interesting mark on someone’s face when it makes impact. Plus, once you’re finished using it as a battering ram, the outside layer should be easy to cut away…so you can enjoy the juicy fruit within.
Now that I think about it, it’s genius.
