George Clooney Q & A and Ides of March

Ok this will most likely be my last post about The Ides of March or Farragut North. Tomorrow night Writers bloc is hosting a free screening and Q & A with George Clooney at the TV Academy, 5220 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood. That's right if you can get in, you will be in the same room with GEORGE.

I won't be able to attend, so I hope you all will give me a full report in the comments.

Give George my love!

Ides Of March

I gleefully went to see a screening of The Ides Of March starring George Clooney last night. It was great! As I prophesized it would be in my previous Ides of March post
If you were following my tweets, you know I noticed a lot of bird imagery in the film, and had no idea what it meant. Thanks to @TheRedan3553, I now know that birds were used as an omen that Julius Caesar would die on the Ides of March. Who knew right?
Well, if any of you Julius Caesar scholars out there see the film and can add any other interesting tidbits, Please leave them in the comments.
Thanks!

George Clooney and The Ides of March
