"You Look Like Shit"

For my money, this is the most overused line of dialog in the history of movies. What bothers me most however is that only once have I seen it spoken to a character who - shall we say - wasn’t looking his or her best. It is, I might add, spoken to George Clooney in the otherwise brilliant “Michael Clayton.” I’m sorry, but George Clooney wouldn’t look like shit if you dipped him up to his hairline in a vat of manure.
