George clooney jealous of Cruise ?

This is so not going to help. Now everything will be blown out of proportion including the crazy rants.The movie scored a $15 million weekend because it was the only new film premiering. Clooney needs to focus on his career and stop the rants, just like chihuahua Cruise is about his career. He just might be suprrise............

Money Monster is a thriller made by members of the 10% who truly want to stick it to the 1%. It comes on all Bernie Sanders – it even features a closing quote from Sanders-backer Robert Reich – but really, every frame votes Hillary.

Skilfully directed by Jodie Foster – her first outing since she made, rather ill-fatedly, The Beaver with Mel Gibson – and filled with strong performances from Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Jack O’Connell, its main drawback is a screenplay with too many writers that’s a Frankenstein-monster of off-cuts from liberal 1970s classics such as Dog Day Afternoon, Network and Alan J Pakula’s Rollover (and that’s just for starters...).

Since Money Monster was the lone outright wide new release this weekend, the George Clooney/Julia Roberts thriller was the top new release of the weekend. The Jodie Foster-directed picture, about a Jim Cramer-ish television host taken hostage in his studio by a disgruntled viewer, earned $15 million on its debut weekend.The Sony release, which cost $28 million to produce, scored one of the higher openings for an adult-skewing George Clooney star vehicle.

As I touched upon on Friday, Clooney’s outright star vehicles (as opposed to the likes of Batman & Robin or Gravity) tend to be lower-budget and adult-skewing dramas and thrillers that get good-to-great reviews and leg it out for awhile following a $10-$14 million debut weekend.

The bad news is that the reviews are not superlative. The good news is that it’s the official “adult drama” for the month of May amid the tentpoles and comedies, give or take the R-rated Neighbors 2 and The Other Guys (both terrific, natch). So I would be surprised if it didn’t leg it to $45-$50 million by the end. And while I didn’t love the movie (it grafts a generic conspiracy plotline onto its would-be topicality), it’s the kind of thing that we say we want to see alongside the tentpoles, so we should be rooting for it on principle.

George is artistically more successful so I doubt that he is jealous of Tom

Artistically ? you mean that George won an Oscar while Tom did not ? well i respect your opinion, but if you compare the two, Tom comes off as legendary, synonymous to the tag of world's greatest movie star. Yes he does not have an oscar in his kitty, but he was nominated thrice. But yes i agree, George and Tom has different approach for movies and for their careers too, while Tom is passionate for his craft, George is more laid back.

George Clooney won a best supporting actor award for Syriana....for his efforts of gaining 40lbs for the role. Big deal.
Argo won best picture but not because of his creative output. He was one of many producers.

Cruise is damaged...Clooney's not far behind... Cruise exists on pre-scripted auto-pilot. Ditto for Clooney but fuel him with liquor when he takes time to think independently & analyse...

Their handlers make money off them as commodities.
Difference is:
Cruise as a cliché action film actor has been a box office success...

Clooney sells fake "personal" relationships as a reality star cultural figure... And a mega fail at that.

Clooney is not jealous of Cruise in any way. Maybe of Robert Downey Jnr...
Or more than likely Brad Pitt.

Clooney made a mess of his life.

Cruise is obviously the bigger star,there's no doubt about that.
I just said that Cruise focuses more on crowd-pleasers while Clooney focuses more on niche prestige movies,so their career are vastly different,so I don't think Clooney is jealous of Cruise.I personally think Cruise is a better actor than Clooney,but overall Clooney has a edge because he's a good director-writer as well.

Ohh you have a good point here, yes Cruise focuses more on the movie itself, i have read one of his interviews where he mentions that he loves movies and makes them solely for entertainment purpose. The good thing is that even though he believes in ore commercial and universal films, he still tends to follow the good story and good direction route, tries to magnify the quality of an otherwise an average film. Clooney on the other hand believes in more niche and artistic concepts, may be because he wants to explore the actor in him, and that is very cool of him too, as he has nothing to lose.
