Oof, is Russia going to war on two fronts?
Ask Hitler how well that turned out for him.
It’s about time someone makes Clooney pay for his role in Batman and Robin.
He’ll just use his Bat-Creditcard
Makes me chuckle to think that Russian propagandists are like ‘Well no one will believe us if we call him a bad actor’
russia didn’t declare war on amal because amal would destroy them.
Said the way only a Daper Dan man can!
Time to rewatch O Brother, Where Art Thou
Mediocre? He’s the goddamn paterfamilias!
He’s bonafide!
They think… He is… A toad.
A horny toad?
Damn, that’s a deep cut.
Well, we ain’t usin’ Fop, goddamnit.
I’m a Dapper Dan man.
Steven Seagal should just fuck off to vatnikland if he likes it so much.
Oh, just Clooney? If it was the Baldwins then there would be HELL to pay!
They should just ask canada what happened to them when they bombed the baldwins.
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.
And where would arrested convicts be held?
Why, in the batcave, of course
Oh no haven’t they seen the Oceans series?
Meh, he’s been in much better. Those are just OK heist movies.
They’re perfect cable TV movies.
If you happen to have that still.Out of Sight being the best one.
O Brother, Where Art Thou? is my favorite movie
That soundtrack alone is pure gold, let alone the story of Odysseus told in the deep south.
As well as The Wizard of Oz!
I knew about the odyssey but what’s this about wizard of oz?
Taken from Whatculture:
While O Brother, Where Art Thou? was eventually credited as an adaptation of The Odyssey (the first Coens script to adapt an existing source), it was a different quest to return home that served as Joel and Ethan’s original inspiration, one that provides another slice of sepia-toned 1930s Americana. “We were thinking of it more as The Wizard Of Oz,” Joel revealed on the movie’s 15th anniversary on 2015, “We wanted the tag on the movie to be: ‘There’s no place like home.’” Even after the story moved more toward picking up on the episodic beats of Homer’s classical epic poem, there still remains a few residual elements of Oz in the film as released. The scene in which our three bumbling heroes disguise themselves as Klansmen to rescue Tommy from a lynching, for example, is an homage to the similar rescue of Dorothy from the Witch’s castle by her trio of bumbling sidekicks in the children’s fantasy classic. The Klan even march in formation with low rhythmic chanting just like the Wicked Witch’s guards.
Pretty sure Clooney could put together a better army than Russia.
Clooney doesn’t have millions of prisoners to recruit
That isn’t George clooney… That is Jurge Clooners
You mean the Golden Snowflake Award-winning actor, who portrayed the titular character in The Nazi Who Played Yahtzee?
I wouldn’t fuck with George Clooney, Russia. His much more important wife is probably already planning to take you down in the ICC.
Suddenly the whole thing with him owning a spy satellite makes more sense.
Not if the US takes down the ICC first!
What are they going to do, bomb The Hague?
does the hague have oil?
More like ignore them. It’s been casually effective to date.
Although bombing isn’t off the table either.
Holy crap. TIL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amal_Clooney
Yeah, it really sucks that her husband is more well-known than her and I have a feeling he’d agree.
Ha! Say what you will about Obama, the man has a sense of humor.
Big talk coming from a mediocre country.
Russia on its quest to find something it can fight and win against.
Clooneys don’t seem that.
And they chose Batman?
They’re not very good at it, are they? :D
