Eastwood News / Re: CRY MACHO: Production Information and News

« on: Yesterday at 07:40:04 PM »

The band in the Unforgiven hat seems to be wider than in the Dollars and Cry Macho hats, but the crown in the Dollars hat isn't as high (to my eyes, anyway), and it's straight up and down instead of tapering slightly.

Here's another shot of the Unforgiven hat:

If it isn't this exact same hat, it's the closest thing to it that he's had on his head since Unforgiven wrapped:

Still six months away I reckon.

Why such a long wait? Or do you mean for you personally?

Let me try an experiment:

Clint's a great filmmaker.

Clint?s a great filmmaker.

Hmm, looks OK in the preview ... I'll post, and we'll see. 

EDIT: That second "Clint's" had a "crooked" apostrophe. It looked fine in the preview, then it changed to a question mark when I posted.

I get the apostrophe thing in several members' posts and sometimes when I post quotations. I think it's a function of whether the "straight" apostrophe or the "curly" apostrophe is used. "Straight" apostrophes and quotation marks are OK, but the curly ones sometimes get changed to question marks. It can happen when text encoding systems are different. Why it just started showing up here all of a sudden, I don't know.

As for the calendar thing ... Richard tells us he's away this week, but will fix it up next week.

That's a good answer, AKA.

Patrick McGilligan's biography (from 1999) takes a very negative approach to Clint Eastwood's life and career. We had a thread about it, or more accurately about a lawsuit it occasioned, when it was published in the US in 2002. Since much of it is about Clint's personal life, we discourage discussion of the various allegations it contains, following the principle in our Community Standards:

Clint Eastwood's Private Life

This Board is for the discussion of Clint Eastwood's movies and his career. We strongly discourage topics pertaining to Mr. Eastwood's private life. In particular, we respect his personal privacy and do not think it necessary to post about details of his intimate relationships. Also, such topics have been known to cause hostility among members. Expect any topics pertaining to such matters to be deleted, and any individual posts pertaining to them in any topic to be edited or deleted.

It has indeed. Or else 2020 was really the Apocalypse and they just haven't told us yet.



I'll notify Richard.

Well, in my case I could use several sequels, then!

Wait a minute ... a documentary about minimalism has a sequel? Isn't that sort of a contradiction in terms?

It may be a little while until we see a 2021 release but this is the thread for discussion of the films released this year. Anyone have any upcoming films that they're really looking forward to?

Cry Macho ... obviously.

It was different this year, but Times Square still put on a show! I wonder what Lennon fans thought of Andra Day's "Imagine"? I thought it was lovely!

Happy New Year to everyone! It's got to be better than 2020, right?

Yeah, there was a lot about the bombing on the news. It appears now to have been a bizarre suicide bombing, where the perp apparently didn't want to kill anyone but himself, but still hoped to do a lot of damage, possibly specifically to AT&T, though they don't know that for sure as yet.

I must say the news of the police evacuating as many people as possible reminded me of Richard Jewell ... though it seems the bomber may have saved even more lives with that audio warning/countdown.

But now, back to topic! In New York City, we happily (from my point of view) had the opposite of a white Christmas: A powerful rainstorm, Christmas Eve into Christmas morning, wiped out the last of the snow from a major storm that dumped ten inches on us a week ago, so that early on Christmas afternoon, I could go running in a Central Park that was free of snow cover. 

I hope everyone is making the best of the holidays so far, in these very unusual circumstances. Best wishes to all for the New Year!

Well, I actually have the Reelz channel, which I just now discovered, or I would have tried to watch this back when this was originally posted. But it's now scheduled to be rebroadcast now ... and it's also not available on the streaming channel, Reelz, which in any case, apparently still comes with a fee attached even for cable TV Reelz customers.
