  1. A beautiful, simple way to give the title its glory moment while establishing George and Brad’s ‘old married couple’ dynamic. Clever stuff.

  2. ‘Old married couple’ dynamic. Brilliant! Clooney is one of the best comedic actors around. I just caught the last half of O Brother, Where Are Thou the other night — great stuff. And Brad Pitt is right up there. What a year he looks to have with a fantastic turn in the Coen brother’s newest movie Burn After Reading, followed by the drama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
