I like my Clooneys funny
Here's a piece of advice from me to you: if you're ever in the mood to watch an incredibly complicated, well-acted but excruciatingly boring movie, go rent Syriana. Ugh. I really tried my best to hang in there for the whole thing and stick with the plot, but, man, what a snooze. You know it's a bad movie when George Clooney gets hit by a missile and I'm like "Meh." I got the general drift of it that American oil tycoons are the devil, but, dude, I already KNEW that. I've seen Dick Cheney...and I'm not ever turning my back on that guy. My favorite Clooney performance is still O Brother, Where Art Thou? followed by his brief stint on The Facts of Life. Now THAT was entertainment. The bristling tension of the Blair/Jo interactions, the boisterous joie de vivre of Natalie, such things are beyond compare. Seriously, though, does anybody else remember the Halloween episode where Blair got "dippity-dooed" and killed everybody? Good times.

I actually like it that Clooney seems to care about politics and world issues. I want to see Good Night and Good Luck, but I think I still like him better in comedies. Still not going to see Ocean's 13 though...why won't they let that die???
I love the Facts of Life and I will never forget seeing ER for the first time and thinking "wasn't he on the facts of life?"
You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have the facts of life, the facts of life...ok, i will stop. LOVED that show growing up. Remember Molly Ringwald in the very very early ones?
It's so bizarre how much that show changed from season 1 to season 2. I loved how the gourmet food shop turned into the neon-decorated gift shop as the years went on, too. It was never the same after Mrs. Garrett left though.
