NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:
Sometime around the shooting of “Ocean’s
Thirteen”, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and a
third investor were in serious discussions
to build a luxury casino in Las Vegas.


The Top 9 Reasons George Clooney
and Brad Pitt Didn’t Build a New Casino


9> Nobody wanted to give Matt Damon the “third wheel” talk.

8> Because they’d have to, I dunno, hatch some crazy, almost impossible scheme to get all that money…

7> Superstition. Maybe after “Se7en” or “Ocean’s 11″, but not after “Ocean’s 13″!

6> The “Pitt Boss” jokes just got to be too much.

5> Whaddya know, turns out you *can* have enough money and hot chicks.

4> “Sorry, George, but Angie said I should put my money into saving lives in third-world countries and stuff.”

3> Having access to that much cash and booze would just lead to personal self destruction and moral ineptitude. Ha, I’m totally kidding.

2> Couldn’t decide between calling it “Pooney” or “Clitt”.

and the Number 1 Reason George Clooney and Brad Pitt Didn’t Build a New Casino…

1> After they found Casey Affleck with his head in a vice, they decided it unwise to compete with the DeNiro/Pesci casino.
