The unflattering George Clooney...

Posted August 30, 2000 11:35 AM.

Is it just me that thinks that it's pretty much impossible to be played by George Clooney in a movie and to be portrayed in a "false and unflattering light"? I can't helping thinking that such a statement is bordering on the oxymoronic. Nevertheless, the wife and daughters of Captain Frank William "Billy" Tyne (Clooney's character in The Perfect Storm) are trying to sue the ass off Warner Bros. for exactly that, claiming that the film depicted him as: "emotionally aloof, reckless, excessively risk-taking, self-absorbed, emasculated, despondent, obsessed and maniacal."
