Galaxy Drive-in/ Leatherheads

Took girls to Galaxy. Weather was a little cool but lovely. Crowded. Talked about all kinds of food options but settled on hamburgers from concession stand. Long lines until after movie started and no french fries. Counter service is dreadful, food is passable and the layout is still wrong (necking people down from both sides in front o condiments is confusing and wrong; both sides are not equally stocked).



George Clooney's Leatherheads earned it C rating . Shows how hard it is to write and direct and pace comedy (see His Girl Friday, On the Twentieth Century and The Philadelphia Story for vastly superior movies that were liberally quoted in this movie.) Clooney, the director, should have asked Clooney, the actor, to quit relying upon "Clooney-isms" for his character. Renee Zellweger's newspaper women is no Rosalind Russell. Made me think about Julia Roberts in the Ocean's movies and wonder why she didn't do this part.
