How about a movie thread?

Eastwood should have won his Oscar...or whatever they call those things, for that instead of "Unforgiven".

Personally, I think Eastwood wound up with so much shit in his britches that the rest of the Hollywood elite felt that they should throw him a bone, or otherwise appearing as fools.

He was also good in El Torino. He played a grumpy old man with ease.

"Grande Torino", mi amigo.

As an actor, Clint is on a par with John Wayne as playing himself...no matter what the role.

As a director/producer there is no comparison.

Of the two "Iwo Jima" movies he did, the one from the Japanese viewpoint was the best...IMHO.

For what it's worth, I read that Clint has never killed an Indian in any for his movies. And come to think of it, I don't recall him killing anyone other than a white person.

Just a thought.

That 'Rowdy Yates' character wasn't too bad neither.

He killed it with the chair at the RNC. The look on Ann Romoney's face was priceless.

Watched "7 Days in May", 1964, with Kirk Douglas.

Excellent, excellent flick.

Romney as Milo Minderbinder? Ah even that is a little harsh on the Mittster.....well
maybe not

The Contender. The dude, as President, still abides.

It's no wonder the wingnuts hate Hollywood with a blind hatred.

Saw 'A Good Day to Die Hard'. Wish I didn't. What an awful end to an otherwise good series.

Could not has been as worse as the ending to Deadwood.
