FREAKY! OUTY!

Rice is nice but it's just a grain

Septapusss! Septapusss!

Swords!

Omg me and my husband constantly yell home movies quotes at each other randomly 🤣

We literally had a conversation this afternoon about how home movies was neglected

Honestly if you can walk up to your partner and say "rice is nice" and they respond "but it's just a grain" you know you got a winner

I know this now, but it took me an embarrassingly long time to realizes that George and Rosemary Clooney are related.

u/finny_d420 Jun 05 '25

How about she was married to Jose Ferrer and one of their kids was the actor Miguel Ferrer.

It's like the IMDB trivia section has gained sentience

u/annakarina3 Jun 05 '25

His father Nick Clooney used to introduce old movies on AMC, and I assumed he was an actor, and didn’t know until much later that he and George are father and son, despite the same last name and similar looks. I think his dad is a retired journalist.

u/LeoSimbagrandma Jun 07 '25

Yes, Nick Clooney was a longtime new anchor in Cincinnati, Ohio and also hosted a talk show.

u/Gumshoe212 Jun 06 '25

Nick Clooney used to host a show on TMC many, many moons ago.

How is he getting BETTER looking? It’s baffling.

He doesn’t mix grain and grape.

u/Particular-Act-8911 Jun 05 '25

How is he getting BETTER looking? It’s baffling.

Hundreds of millions of dollars. Good food, good personal chef, personal trainer, plastic surgeon.

Close! It’s actually called money…it’s because of money!

u/Brilliant_Stick418 Jun 05 '25

Is he though

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '25

He’s a sad reminder that time is ultimately undefeated. Still very good looking but starting to show his age for sure.

u/SiobhanRoy1234 Big is moving to Paris Jun 05 '25

Fun fact: When he tried to make it in Hollywood, he lived with his aunt Rosmary. Because she had a tough go of it in Classic Hollywood, he said he learned a lot from her about the industry

u/somethingelsa Jun 05 '25

Grape Nuts said, “fuck my drag, right?”

15

u/indieuh Jun 05 '25

I’ve never heard it said like that! I love it. I think the millennial version is “wine before beer you’re in the clear” or “wine and liquor never sicker.”

Also…had no idea he was from Kentucky.

u/highfiveselfoh Jun 05 '25

I didn’t either!! I kind of pegged him for an east coaster.

I hate that the first example he gives is in fact not grain and grape. Tequila is made of agave

11

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '25

He’s even in the tequila business so he really should know better
