George Clooney’s new movie

George Clooney’s new movie – uh, I mean, Ocean’s Thirteen (YouTube: Teaser | Trailer) – is out today.

Which would mean absolutely nothing to me, normally. I didn’t know the storyline or genre of any of the Ocean’s movies until a few months ago – I’d barely even heard of them – and I still haven’t seen any.

What, then, is this post doing on Novelish? Well. It’s Miss Snark’s fault, of course.

Back in mid-April, Miss Snark declared June 8th a national holiday:

Miss Snark does not attend the cinema.
Miss Snark has not been inside a movie theatre for some years.
Too many yapping audience members who are not poodles.
Too many refreshments smuggled in from SisterLucille’s Smoky BBQ

This will change.

Miss Snark the literary agent retired her blog last month (as you most assuredly know). I was dismayed. I still am, sort of – I’m sure I’m not the only snarkling who has found their daily feed-browsing routine to be oddly lacking of late.

So even though I probably shouldn’t care what an anonymous ex-blogger may be doing right now, I like to remember Miss Snark – and fortunately, she won’t be easy to forget so long as George Clooney is making new movies.
