Eastwood News / Clint and the "white" Oscars

« on: January 24, 2016, 02:14:21 AM »

Clint making good sense over the "white" Oscars story, how they have to be earned and not just handed out.

Must be really dreadful for Will Smith and his "wife" to be sitting in their mansion with millions in the bank bemoaning the fact they want to be given an award, as if the paycheques aren't enough. #realitycheck

Eastwood News / Clint Interview with Parky

« on: October 01, 2008, 04:08:01 AM »

Having been at the screening and watched Clint drive off with Dina (I can upload the photos if someone tells me how!) I liked this interview...


"Clint Eastwood was another star I had been trying to interview since the show began.

He came over to publicise Mystic River and the deal was he would do the show if I interviewed him at the National Film Theatre.

I had particularly wanted to meet Eastwood, and not simply because he has a wonderful screen presence and is a marvellous director, but also because of his love and deep knowledge of jazz.

He directed Forest Whitaker in Bird, the biopic of Charlie Parker, uses jazz often on the soundtracks of his films and has a son, Kyle, who is a jazz musician.

After we finished the interview, I collected Mary and took her to meet Eastwood, a most agreeable and pleasant man.

We were chatting away, Mary transfixed by his lanky, easy charm, when he said to me: 'I'm going out to have dinner then on to a jazz club to see my son Kyle play. Would you and Mary like to join me?'

And I said: 'Thank you but I'm feeling knackered and I think I'm going to have an early night.'

As we left his company Mary said: 'I can't believe you said that.' Nor could I. She moans about it to this day."

General Discussion / Clint's Alias?

« on: July 25, 2004, 10:55:26 AM »

I couldn't find any reference to it in the film discussion, but on IMDB.com under Thunderbolt & Lightfoot it lists Eastwood & Bridges characters as "Carnador" & "Crowbar". I don't remember them being called that in the films or on the credits so do these names have any meaning or is it a mistake on the website? I don't have any novel to refer to either.
