Mini blog: Why George Clooney is still my fictional boyfriend

I took some time off to refuel the creative fires by watching MICHAEL CLAYTON. I still love George Clooney. Seriously--love him.

I'm also quite smitten with Tony Gilroy, who wrote at least two of the Bourne Identity films AND the ice skating masterpiece THE CUTTING EDGE. How can I NOT love him with those particular films under his belt, I say!

And the whole time I was watching George in Michael Clayton, I was thinking "whoever wrote this is good. I mean seriously good. Whoever wrote this has got some serious chops!"

And then the credits rolled:

Written and directed by Tony Gilroy.

And I screamed "Aha!"

And then I called George:

Me: Hey.

GC: Hey back.

Me: So I just watched a really good movie.

GC: Anything I've seen?

Me: Maybe?

GC: So you really liked it, huh?

Me: Yeah. In fact, I think I don't want you to be my fictional boyfriend anymore.

GC: I thought you liked it?

Me: I think I'm dumping you and Tony Gilroy can be my new fictional boyfriend.

GC: You both have my blessings.

Me: Thank you.

GC: But I'm making a spy/hitman movie with the Coen brothers and Brad Pitt... So...you'll be back.
