Another reason to love George Clooney!-I can't wait for this movie!
Summary of Goodnight, and Good Luck:
About the infamous CBS News anchor Edward R. Murrow's legendary on-air confrontations with red-baiting Senator Joseph McCarthy.


Traces the true story of how Murrow (Strathairn), and his producers, Fred Friendly (Clooney) and Joe Wershba (Downey), helped bring an end to the tyranny of the blacklist and the House Un-American Activities Committee' anti-Communist hearings. With the platform provided by his CBS News program "See It Now," Murrow challenged McCarthy on his claims that hundreds of avowed Communists were working covertly as Soviet spies in the U.S. government, among other allegations that at the time had the power to destroy lives and careers.

1. George Clooney is a yuppie fuck of an asshole.
He recently bought a stretch of beach on a lake in Italy that had been open to the public for many years, and fenced it off so he wouldn't have to be bothered with the "little people" being near his house.

Fuck him. I don't give a shit how good an actor he is, he's a defective, arrogant human being.
