Clint Eastwood in: GET OFF MY LAWN!

[dave from knoxville]

But, unless the trailer is presenting it in some skewed light, Get Off My Lawn looks like white-panic revenge film. I don't like to think of Clint Eastwood as a deluded old man, ("Sure, my character could fight off 10 gang members... will I have a big gun?")

This description makes Get Off My Lawn seem like it might be the 6th Dirty Harry movie.

Although sometimes maybe the marketing is designed to throw viewers off the mark. I just read this in regard to this movie;

"I don't want to give away the ending, but suffice it to say that its take on vengeance and violence as the ultimate answers is not what you might expect from Dirty Harry."

Seems more Unforgiven than The Gauntlet, in retrospect.

I want to shoot my mouth off about this movie so badly. I'm going to have to drop the 10 to speak accuratley, I guess.

For my money, Unforgiven was the best place to end the revenge/western flicks from the Old Guard of cinema, (plus the Old Guard never had the benefit of The Great Saul Rubineck!) Also, you never know if the ending is going to communicate what they think it is, or if the two hours of carnage couldn't possibly be reversed by a five minute nod to reason at the end of the film.

This thing is written by a guy who was behind Comedy Central's Let's Bowl as well as a lot of the old Amphetamine Reptile skits on their "Dope, Guns and Fucking in the Streets" VHS compilations.  There's a particular style of humor there that people can either get into or not, I think.

I haven't seen it and don't know if I'll like it, but I'll certainly give it a shot.

Yeah, yeah, I agree with most of what you guys are saying but you've got to admit, Eastwood tipping the barber so that he doesn't hit his "juggler" is pretty great.

I saw the Gauntlet this week, directed by Clint.

It stunk!

[mcphee from the forum]

I was out visiting my dad over the holidays, and he really wanted to see this. So I went with him. It was genuinely the worst film I've seen in the theater since Deadly Force, featuring Wings Hauser as Stoney Cooper (which I saw as a pre-teen in a double feature with Angel. High School Honor Student by Day. Hollywood Hooker by Night. The MPAA ratings system was not much respected at the Cypress Twin Cinema).
