George Clooney flies around the country firing people. The cartoon is just called Up.

I knew it was one or the other, as it is I saw the Clooney film and rather liked it, certainly worth another viewing in future.

Yes that was ok, he was also rather good in 'A History of Violence' 

edit:
I also rather enjoyed three good Tommy Lee Jones performances in:

'No Country For Old Men'
'In the Valley of Elah'
'The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada'

Also, if you ever find yourself in too good a mood and want to fall back to earth a bit, check out Requiem for a Dream.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

 :D  I'm just not much of a movie watcher, never have been.  I can't really just sit there and stare at the TV/movie screen, I usually just end up falling asleep.

I have no problem staring at a PC monitor for hours at a time though.
