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...

Eastwood News / Re: RIP Sondra Locke
« 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........

« on: January 15, 2019, 03:47:12 PM »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.......

« on: January 07, 2019, 03:23:05 PM »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.

General Discussion / Re: What was the last Eastwood film you watched?
« on: January 07, 2019, 03:16:59 PM »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.

« on: December 17, 2018, 04:07:10 PM »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.

Eastwood News / Re: Who saw The Mule? Members' Comments (NO SPOILERS, PLEASE)
« on: December 16, 2018, 01:45:30 PM »Most of the reviewers are basically being told what to write and say since it's a PC realm and especially since Eastwood's speech at the Republican Convention years ago upset so many of those clowns. I read a review yesterday where they had to mention FOX news. So, it's basically a phony review... If you don't like the movie, fine...I've read already a half dozen reviews where it's their own personal political beliefs are put into review. 35 years ago at least Rex Reed gave his reasons for hating a Eastwood movie without going into a diatribe about politics.

« on: December 15, 2018, 07:36:24 PM »I probably vilified Locke more than anyone in here. I never thought she was the right actress in all of Eastwood's movies except for The Gauntlet which she was terrific in. I just felt Eastwood's movies suffered with her miscasting- especially Bronco Billy.

« on: December 15, 2018, 07:33:11 PM »Hocine, Gran Torino to me is a top 5 movie of Clint's career as far as I'm concerned. I did like Sniper very much. That's about it for the decade since 2008. My tastes run very different from most in here. I'm not as enamored with Unforgiven as just about every one else is and that's fine. My point is I just haven't cared for the movies Eastwood has been involved with since 2008 and neither has an audience outside of Sniper.....

« on: December 14, 2018, 09:05:20 AM »AKA23...... For some reason after Gran Torino I have not liked any of Eastwood's movies. 15:17 really did it for me. I shut the movie off after 40 minutes. The Mule from what I read, even the positive reviews seems like a retread of other performances from the past and the movie doesn't parallel the real story. So, whats the point?....

« on: December 13, 2018, 02:16:50 PM »Some of the negative reviews I've read are pretty much the PC knuckleheads who couldn't wait to make a political point and it's laughable. You saw some of that with Gran Torino, but they've pretty much raised their artillery for this movie. I was surprised Newsday liked the picture. They never liked anything Eastwood did. Will i go see the movie? Probably not.
