Ha!  Thanks senorcorazon. I write what I know.

When it comes to Eastwood as a director, there's really Space Cowboys and then there's everything else.

A-freakin'-men.

David Poland:

With all due respect, Gran Torino is a sitcom quality "get off of my lawn" movie with an incredibly likeable lead actor (which keeps it from being unwachable) and an Outer Limits ending that would be beaten senseless if any less revered director had dared to release it.

Every which way but loose is great, when they eat the clam chowder with dentures in it.

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

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

Hear hear.

YER ALL WIMPS!
Why Eastwood thinks America is full of babies
BY LARRY McSHANE

Thought of the FOT when I read this load of turd. Some highlights --

"TOUGH GUY Clint Eastwood believes America is getting soft around the middle -- and the iconic Oscar winner thinks he knows when the problem began.

'Maybe when people started asking about the meaning of life," Eastwood, 78, growls.

"Everyone's become used to saying 'Well, how do we handle it psychologically?' Eastwood says. 'In those days, you punched the bully back and duked it out.'"

"If a car doesn't have 400 air bags in it, then it's no good."

"If a car doesn't have 400 air bags in it, then it's no good."

sorry, Clint, i dont feel like dying or becoming a vegetable because some jackass crashed into me.

I posted this video to Facebook and captioned it, "Try to watch this trailer without giggling". I was specifically referring to the gritted-teeth delivery of the "Get off my lawn" line.

Ten minutes later, my friend's weird dad who is 50-something years old posted a response: "I don't understand what I'm supposed to be 'giggling' about".

I wondered if maybe he thought I was taking the themes of racism/ageism too lightly or something? But then another ten minutes later, his Facebook Status said, "Robert has joined the group Clint Eastwood is the Baddest MotherFucker Alive".

WTF passive aggressive??

Friends' parents who are on facebook: weird.

Back in those days if a jackass crashed into you, you crashed back and duked it out.

I guess you're sending a not so subtle hint about the propriety of us older folks getting into social networking, eh?

It's not that at all. It's more a question of boundaries. If my Dad, or friends parent's were super into our gossip, I would be unnerved by that.

Won't you join me on Facebook, Dave?!?

Would I have to post a picture? I HATE pictures.

[Martin]

Just watched it. What a piece of shit.

Ha HA!

It's not like I was going to see this film in theaters, but now I probably won't even rent it.

Has anyone seen The Wrestler yet?
