Nice. I guess that's about as close to a director's commentary we've had from him.

Thank you, AKA23! I very much appreciate your effort. I will find this very useful.

I checked my DVD release, Christopher, and though I don't think it has that Clint's commentary that I had been looking for, I've found that it does have some behind the scenes footage. I might give it a watch one of these days. Thanks for your help.

I wonder if there's anything like that on the Blu-ray/DVD release. I don't own it. Do you have it to check, LB13?

Hi, I'm looking for a video related to American Sniper, in which Clint breaks down at least one scene from the film. I recall seeing the video once, possibly on YouTube, but now seem unable to find it. I remember that the scene in question was the one after Chris Kyle gets back from his last tour and is sitting alone in a bar, talking to his wife Taya on the phone. Clint explains his rationale behind choosing this particular location and his other directorial decisions regarding this part of the film. If anyone would be able to help, I'd very much appreciate it.

Complete change of mind.. I went last night to see Elvis and thought it an absolutely fantastic cinema experience.
The acting, music, cinematography and period detail were awesome.. both leads superb.
Id say it makes no difference if you are a Presley fan or not.. this is a superb piece of filmmaking and story telling.
It gets the full Gant recommendation..
Id be very surprised if Hanks isnt nominated for an Oscar..

Excerpt from The Hollywood Reporter:

Clint Eastwood was awarded $2 million in a lawsuit accusing a CBD retailer of stealing his name and likeness to promote its products. The verdict is the second in favor of the actor in a pair of suits against CBD manufacturers and marketers that fabricated news articles and manipulated search results to make it appear that the actor endorsed their products.

?$2 million is a reasonable representation of the fair market value of Mr. Eastwood?s services in lending his influential and known name to a hidden metatag campaign for products he likely would have been unwilling to endorse in the first place,? reads the order issued on June 24.

Good for Clint, I guess.

I was thinking about upgrading to blu-ray for some Eastwood movies. This set would be a cheap way of picking up seven Universal movies:



It has Two Mules for Sister Sara, Joe Kidd, High Plains Drifter (I have the DVD set of those three), Coogan's Bluff, The Beguiled, Play Misty for Me, and The Eiger Sanction

This isn't a new set, but was just browsing and wanted to mention it. I've been collecting since well before Blu-ray was a thing, but I'd like to get some HD versions of some of these movies, and this set looks good. There are individual releases for some of these that probably have some good extra features, but this would be a bit more economical. Has anyone else made it a point to collect Eastwood movies on blu-ray or 4K? AKA mentioned the In the Line of Fire 4K release a couple months ago, and I see that's about to come out!

This is currently $14.99 on gruv.com (this is region A), so I just ordered it. That's a good price to upgrade to Blu-ray.

Bummer. Despite his upside-down ears, I've always liked him. I've always wanted to watch a film in which Bernthal plays a boxer and Ward plays his ex-boxer father. It's not going to happen now, and I can't believe he was already 79:(

I'm not really familiar with the music of Elvis, so I wouldn't consider myself a fan, and I'm not planning on seeing the movie. Tom Hanks also seems to be an add choice to me for the character that he is playing, which has also influenced my feelings on seeing the movie. It's not the type of role that he typically does, and he doesn't physically fit the role either. He seems kind of miscast to me.
