I laughed at Tilda Swinton's line, given to New York's Bennett Marcus at last night's Michael Clayton premiere at the Zeigfeld, that costar George Clooney's "very existence is an entire joke on humanity." Then four or five seconds later I said to myself, "Wait... what?" Forget it. Jokes die when you break them down and send them to study groups.
