General Discussion / Re: Every Which Way But Loose 40 Year Anniversary

« on: Yesterday at 01:22:46 PM »

          Was watching part of it yesterday and the thing that really stands out are the stock actors Eastwood employed over the years. William O'Connell really was a hidden gem. Even a guy like Dan Vadis who Eastwood must had known beforehand while both were in Europe in the 60's and guys like Jphn Quade, Roy Jenson, Bill Mckinney and Greg Walcott were very underrated. I had forgotten James McEeachin was in the movie. I guess you have to laugh at the fact that Ruth Gordon who was a great stage and film actress as well as a playwright was in this movie and the sequel..

Don Siegel was a very wise man.

     Not a fan of the movie though I like the first hour which is pretty funny and Locke is quite good out of all the roles she ever did with Eastwood. Pauline Kael was a panorama of blowhard negligent stupidity.

Part of the attraction is the political climate that has been going on the past few years and the ramifications of how beyond shallow the media has become. As of this moment lawyer  L. Lin Wood is in the midst of big time lawsuits for on behalf of the late Jewell. It's a pretty sad and grim story in many aspects. Personally, I rather see other actors than Hill and Dicaprio if this ends up being Eastwood's next movie.

I watched that the other day. I don't know whats more upsetting seeing a 25 year old Eastwood playing a silly role or seeing a great actress like Ginger Rogers by then doing a schlock movie like that in 1956... Ginger was still smoking looking in that movie...

Eastwood News / Re: Who saw The Mule? Members' Comments (WARNING: SPOILERS ALLOWED!)

« on: March 26, 2019, 02:51:10 PM »

           Well, I finally saw The Mule......I thought it was a good movie and Eastwood was damn good in it. I guess it's hard to look at Eastwood playing such a vulnerable character after all these years. We never think our heroes will ever be 88,but Eastwood nailed it. The movie was pretty much what I expected from a technical standpoint and Diane Wiest was very good. My only complaint which isn't really that big a deal is I thought the movie could had been 10-15 shorter, but no biggie.  Would I rate this as one of Eastwood's top 10 movies?..No...But, it doesn't have to be. I'm still trying to figure out after seeing the movie what exactly the phony pc movie critics were scathing about, but it was obvious. Anyone can read through these clowns. Eastwood is the King of Hollywood of all time. No one is even close. That's what it's really about. It's either this or another Marvel comic movie. I'll choose an 90 year old real life story any day........

Clint Eastwood Westerns / Re: Father hanged on his son's shoulders ... which film?

« on: January 23, 2019, 01:17:27 PM »

OUATITW is a very good movie. My only problem with it is it drags a little in the middle. Eastwood would had been good in it and it would had been interesting to see him with Henry Fonda who pretty much has the best role in the film, though Claudia Cardinale is quite yummy in the film and nice to look at.......

  Do any of you in your heart of hearts really think or believe Eastwood or The Mule was going to be nominated for anything? What you are dealing with is a completely different and moronic environment in the Hollywood and media circles today from years ago..... It's pretty disturbing. To me, Eastwood made a movie @ 88 and against all odds ( including my original thoughts) and the movie ended a BO hit and that's enough. What he did was astounding. I doubt the man really cares about nominations and I certainly feel that is vindication..... Hollywood is one big bull---- place...

« on: January 15, 2019, 03:57:34 PM »

    Was watching The Gauntlet yesterday ( Yeah..... I was.. ) and like I always said Locke was really good in it.  Like I always said the first hour of that movie is very funny and well paced and then the movie just becomes too ridiculous and over the top where It didn't have to be. But Locke was damn good in the movie........

The Mule @ $91, 310.00 as of today which makes it a month since it's release. Has a good chance to get to the 100 mill mark by the weekend. I promise AKA I will go see the movie. I don't want to get yelled at.......

To be perfectly honest I didn't see this movie doing well at all. $81 mill at a domestic box office as of today is quite astounding considering the reviews which let's face it were lazy and predictable. The Mule including the eventual Box Office in Europe and etc in a few weeks will solidify this as a moneymaking hit for Eastwood. Like I always said the guy is the King Of Hollywood even If I was wrong about this movie's potential.

Watched Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. It's a shame Cimino and Eastwood never worked together again. Cimino wanted Eastwood to do a remake of The Fountainhead... Interesting.

           The Mule will probably have to gross at least 100 mill @ the box office to break even. I don't see it. I would guess its not impossible if a good response overseas helps.
