It's too good to forget. Looking forward to seeing it again!
Thank you, Chicago Ronin.

I hate to see a decent guy like Clooney make a huge public blunder like this but it just goes to show that film folk need to stay in their lanes and keep their egos under strict orders to STFU on politics. It wasn't even a good letter.
