Since Ravenwind's poll on what Clint should do next swerved SO off-topic, I'm starting a new poll. I changed the options slightly, so if you voted before, please vote again in this thread.
Ravenwind, I didn't have enough options to add "Run for Presidency", but if anyone would like to make that choice, don't vote and just post that option in the thread.

I picked directing something in the direction of Bird. You can tell that Bird was a labor of love for Clint, and nobody was expecting it from him. He really made a terrific movie there. But even though nobody expected this type of film from Clint, I remember Roger Ebert's REVIEW for Bird where he states: There is a connection between the Parker of "Bird" and the alcoholic guitar player in "Honkytonk Man." They are both men who use music as a way of insisting they are alive and can feel joy, in the face of the daily depression and dread they draw around themselves. Even though Bird may have surprised some, it contains themes that exists in his other work.

Wouldn't it be great if Clint directed and starred in another western? It got my vote just because I think Unforgiven is so good and I think he could do it again. Besides, no one makes westerns anymore, but Clint proved that it could still be done and done well. I guess he'd have to have a similar role as before, so maybe he wouldn't want to do it again. Perhaps he could direct a western though, I'm sure he could do it again. I also REALLY want him to run for President! If only I was an American citizen then I would vote for him in a shot! Same goes for Harrison Ford but Clint is first choice! Interestingly, Harrison Ford has played the President onscreen before but Clint never has! What does everyone think about Clint playing the President in his next film and also running for President too? As one of my fave Clint films is Tightrope it would be great if he could do a similar film or maybe even return as Wes Block, older but wiser. Perhaps Clint doesn't want to do sequels though - somebody asked him at the Cannes film festival if he would ever consider being Dirty Harry one last time but Clint said he had moved on! I don't think Dirty Harry should be resurrected either.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

I'm thinking standup comedy. Think about it; with that straight-man look and his cool delivery, one-liners would be a natural for his routine. I'll even help him write his material.
"I bought another handgun yesterday. Big surprise!"
"Speaking of surprises, this year, for father's day, my wife got me what she always does: 5,000 rounds of .44 mag hollow points. Every year I wish beyond hope for a tie!"
"The other day I was strolling around shopping for guns when a lady walked up to me on the street and just stood there staring at me. I said, 'Well, are you going to just stand there, or would you like to put all your clothes back on and get out of my way?'"
Last night my wife says, "Let's go upstairs and fool around, we haven't fooled around in weeks." I said, "You gotta ask yourself: 'Do I feel lucky?'"
You know, that sort of thing.
Has Clint ever done comedy?

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
