Eastwood News / Re:What's everyone's feelings on the lack of extras on new DVDs?

Yes, Bird is available here in the states but sorry to say that there are no extras.  The transfer is quite good though.  I can't believe that they are just releasing Thunderbolt and Lightfoot overseas.  It's been out for a few YEARS over here.  I just can't see it being that dificult formatting for different regions.  I figure that warners would just want to cash in wherever they can.  As for the extras, it would be great to have Clint and Kyle do an interview about how it was to work on Honkeytonk Man some 21 years later.  it would be great to see them interact together.

Scorpio first with "Alice" from Dirty Harry coming in a close second, though he isn't a villian.

I have all that are abvailable on DVD including Away All Boats with Clint's 3 second spot.  I don't have any of the other ones between the first movies and the MWNN trilogy.  I am excited to nearly complete my collection when the seven titles become available on September 2nd, even without the extras.

I'm happy as well to see the DVD's at least.  I guess we shouldn't expect to see a release of Honkeytonk man with a ton of extras or Pink Cadillac.  I know there has been much discussion on the WED release and I'm sure that the Special Edition will become available once we all populate our collection with the title.  And please tell me that you are kidding Misty.

Well I guess it makes up for some of the Clint movies in the past that have been released in America first.  I'm happy for you Lilly and I'm sure we'd all agree that we would all expect a report after the viewing.

I think that he was just a little pissed that he was getting out golfed by some  youngster.  Or maybe he just isn't the high fiving type of guy.

I was just wondering what everyone's feeling were on Warner Brothers just dumping the remainder of the Clint catalog on September 2nd?  There are certainly some of these movies that deserve a more deserving release.  Granted, I could do without City Heat, but it would be nice to see a few more extras on Tightrope and WED.  I think that Honkeytonk Man has a decent storyline and it's nice to see Clint interact with Kyle.  Any other thoughts?

I must admit that I actually watched most of the tounament because of Clint.  It was quite humourous.  Haley Joel Osment was actually the best "guy" on the team.  Clint was definitely not playing well and the entire team was congradulating Osment on his nice shots, except for Clint that is.  He seemed a little perterbed that the kid star was playing better than he was.  Andy Garcia played quite well, as did Michael Douglas.  Overall, it was a kick to watch.

Not to be harsh Brendan, but it is a fact of the demographics of the audience.  I just wish that the younger generation of today could appreciate Clint as the living legend that he is today rather than "discovering" him 20 years later or so.  I know there are many younger  member posting on the board and I mean no offense.  In fact, I'm glad that you can appreciate Clint the way we all do.  I've been a Clint fan for roughly 25 years and my interest only grows with each year.  I'm just so glad that we have this board to keep our thoughts and interests alive.

And to think that I missed all the excitement around here the last few days.  Whew!  What was this topic about originally, Oh yeah!  Will Clint act again.  I think one thing we all can agree on is that Clint has been talking for years about giving up acting.  I just think that he may put his efforts into directing, but if the right project were to come along, we would see him in front of the camera again.

How about the first Death Wish with Charles Bronson?  With Clint taking over the Charles Bronson role, of course!

I thought it was an OK movie, definitely not one of Clint's best.  With that said, there were some funny parts to the movie and one of Charlie Sheen's best acting moments.  It just seemed a little to early for Clint to be playing a character that was poking fun at himself.  At that point he was 60 but then again so is Harrison Ford.  In my opinion he was selling himself short in that role.

I think Clint should direct another thriller.  Based on the buzz being generated for Mystic River, it seems that Clint is back at the top of his game.  Though I still love seeing Clint in action, when I go to see his new flicks, the audience is mostly comprised of geriatrics.  With the awesome cast assembled for Mystic, it should draw people into the theater that don't need an oxygen tank just to get from the snack bar to their seats.

Misty,

       What scene in an Eastwood movie makes me laugh every time that I see it?  

Other than every scene in which Sondra Locke tries to "act"....most of the scenes in Dirty Harry.  I don't know why but I find it a rather amusing movie.  I think one part that I will always find amusing is at the end when Clint delivers his famous line of "Do you feel lucky?"  The look on Andy Robinson's face and then just the sadistic laugh just gets me going every time.

« on: June 19, 2003, 05:58:56 PM »

Yes, he has quite the resemblance.  I was quite amazes when they did those scenes in Space Cowboys.  He looked so much like Clint.  The only thing that I was wondering was with Clint spending all that money with Industrial Light and Magic, they could have made anyone look like Clint.
