I recall in interviews around the time Ocean’s 11 came out that Clooney said stuff like, “We knew we couldn’t be as cool as the Rat Pack but that we could find better writers,” to explain their confidence in producing the remake. And as you write, no no no, Mr. Clooney, you exude cool.

Just re-watched Ocean’s 11 after reading this. Great movie, though Don Cheadle’s cockney accent is shocking! :D

I had seen Clooney on Roseanne and then Sisters, but the ER storm drain episode was the first time I had seen that show, and I knew nothing about it -- not even sure I knew WHAT show it was. But I could not look away.

This is one of my comfort movies. I watch it every time it's on.
