George Clooney a "Modern Master", says SB Film Fest
Filed under: Drama, George Clooney
So...what did you do this weekend? If you lived in
Seattle, you likely spent it at a friend's house or in a local bar, filling your Sunday evening with many tears and
much gnashing of teeth. (Of course, if you're the kind of geek who reads Cinematical daily, you likely spent your
Sunday evening finding those people and reveling in schadenfreude. I'm just saying.) If you were George
Clooney, however, you spent the weekend in Santa Barbara, California, where you picked up an award recognizing you as a
Modern Master of film. Clooney is no stranger to the Santa Barbara Film Fest, having premiered his directorial debut,
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, at the festival. Clooney, looking all de-Syriana-ed (yes, that is a word) was his
usual charming and self-deprecating self in his appearance, claiming that he didn't think he was "brave" for
making films like Syriana and Good Night and Good Luck. The film polyglot is quoted as saying,
"I'm terrified of not making films like these, and that's the truth. I'm afraid of waking up at 70 years old and
saying, 'I'm Batman again'."Funny, George, but we have the exact same nightma - er, dream. Here's to more directorial and acting success for Clooney...so long as he leaves the tights to Christian Bale.
