Clint Eastwood in: GET OFF MY LAWN!

I'm not sure why that's not the actual title.  Harrison Ford probably threatened to sue.

Maybe I'm saying something entirely obvious here, but with the amount of respect Eastwood always gets you never know: doesn't this look like total garbage?

I'll never understand why he gets so much credit for his directorial work. So incredibly overrated. I've also never understood why Angelina Jolie got praise (aside from her looks) so I'm glad to see a project between the two is getting mixed reviews. The trailer looks horrendous.

This sure looks like white-man-saves-the-day colonialist fantasy garbage.  Why isn't Sylvester Stallone starring?

Eastwood's a terrific director. Million Dollar Baby and Flags of our Fathers are both top notch. There are some stinkers in there (Blood Work? ugh), but I just saw Unforgiven recently, and it holds up, and White Hunter Black Heart is as good a film as anybody could have made with Jeff Fahey.

Talk up people you like, it's bound to be lots more interesting than slams on easy targets. Tell me which film personnel I can productively spend my time with. Guy Maddin anyone?

The trailer makes it look like a straight up b-movie* incongruously directed with the solemnity of Mystic River.  Clint should at least stop scoring these movies himself, or at least liven up the soundtrack with that mysterious cd Skag Winesack received in the mail that time. 


*not to be confused with Straight Up: Bee Movie 2

I think Clint Eastwood the Director is a ponderous, manipulative, overrated hack.

but i still want to see this piece of garbage....  although i feel like i just saw the whole thing.

[Gagneaux]

I'll go on record as saying that I'm an Eastwood supporter.

Upon further reflection: I don't know why anyone would care about that

GET OFF MY LAWN.  this movie would have to suck serious dick for me to not want to get a GET OFF MY LAWN tattoo.

I love Clint Eastwood as a B-movie vigilante.  This seemed okay for the first half of the trailer while it looked like a hilarious comedy to me.  The vibe of the movie gets mixed up along the way though.

Million Dollar Baby and Mystic River are two of the worst films ever made.  Underrated Eastwood: A Perfect World.

You know, I never thought to check on this, but does he talk in the weird teeth-clenching bad-boy voice in real life?
