Finally!  Six long years since the last Clint Eastwood movie!  Talk about a dry spell!  Well worth the wait.  I saw this again Wednesday night.  I may see it one more time before it’s gone from the cinemas.  I enjoyed The Mule very much.  I found nothing wong with it and look forward to seeing it again.

My guess is Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, Eastwood telling Bridges about a heist he’d been involved in.

I gave this another viewing this weekend.  Not as good as the Leone trilogy, but still very enjoyable.

Funny thing is, Gant only “thinks in Russian” once, the other pilot commands from him are verbal.

I don’t recall wondering in prior viewings how strange it was that Gant was running from a U.S. military helicopter, surely he recognized it... Of course, his PTSD could’ve been triggered by the sudden appearance of the copter.  I can’t remember if that’s explained in the novel.  I enjoyed reading it and the sequel, Firefox Down!, very much. 

Still, it was nice revisiting this film again.  I would edit it to make it tighter, more suspenseful.  30-40 minutes could easily be scrapped.

Had I sat down to watch this movie straight on from beginning to end, I’d have dozed off.  It was perfect having it on as I wrapped Christmas presents.  Firefox was the very first ticket I’d bought for a large screen Eastwood movie and for that reason it’s special to me even though it’s not a favorite. 

It was a nice walk down memory lane.

I saw this opening day with Tina.  It’s been a long wait, six years since the last true Clint Eastwood film hit the big screen and The Mule did not disappoint! 👍

Off-Topic Discussion / Re: What was the last CD you bought ?

« on: December 12, 2018, 06:21:04 AM »

Thanks, Gant.  What I love about cds is the convenience.  It took a while to jump ship, but that’s why I love Spotify.  Tina & I are enjoying building a vinyl collection together and I’m experiencing music I’ve not heard at all and other albums I’ve not heard in years. 

I’m not a big fan of double albums on vinyl because with CDs I’d listen to them without having to flip over to the other side....three times!  Still, that didn’t stop me from buying Yellow Brick Road, Born To Run and some greatest hits compilations.  I’m considering Physical Graffiti, Tommy and Pinball Wizard but refuse to buy The Wall or The Beatles’ “White” album. 

In a sense, I can relate to why vinyl fans were sad to see the format all but disappear but am glad and fortunate it has made a comeback.  Lucky for me, technology has made the transition easy not only in moving forward with Spotify, but in stepping back with vinyl. 
With these, I have the luxury of enjoying both worlds.

Clint Eastwood, 88, Shocks Fans As He’s Pictured With ‘Secret Daughter’ & His 8 Kids At Premiere

Do I have six kids, or only five? 😎

Turns out Mr. Eastwood is father to eight.  So great to have them and many others there to support his latest film.

Off-Topic Discussion / What was the last CD you bought ?

« on: December 10, 2018, 05:52:04 AM »

Now that I have Spotify, I find myself not buying CDs.  I’m on the fence on whether to even bother anymore.  I now have more vinyl than compact discs.  While I still prefer cds because the occasional popping sound on vinyl is rattling, unnerving and aggravating I may limit myself to mega cd compilations on The King but even the majority of those are on Spotify.  If not for discovering the musical App, I would’ve purchased the recently released expanded cd edition of The Beatles’ White Album.  Although it’s my least favorite by them, it would still be worth collecting if I were still buying cds.

I find myself buying cds for gifts rather than for myself these days.  I enjoyed Robert Plant’s Carry Fire album so much that I wanted to share it with friends of music that I thought would appreciate it and purchased 6 copies!  🤪  You’re welcome, Mr. Plant.

What’s funny is the last time I was in Bull Moose records I noticed a guy checking out Carry Fire on vinyl.  I told him I love it and think it’s a masterpiece.  That convinced him to make the purchase.

I remember the advent of cds.  They’ve come a long way and still have a lot to offer.  I’d hate to see them disappear completely, like VHS and 8-Track tapes.  Unlike vinyl, I doubt they’ll ever make a comeback.

My man is releasing another starring role film this week, so I decided to watch the 3 Leone westerns yesterday. Westerns have been a favorite movie genre for as long as I can remember and this is my favorite trilogy by anyone.  Just incredible.  I loved revisiting these again, something I haven’t done in over a year when I had the opportunity to see them on the big screen in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  Watching them again is a great primer for The Mule this Friday.

What a great film.  To me, the best Rock & Roll biopic to date.
