La Muerte Tenia Un Precio
I got this from Spain last year and it's great to watch this film in other language.
This is the Dvd cover
nice.

General Discussion / Re: How does you screen name relate to CLINT?
« on: March 25, 2010, 12:50:04 PM »No offense, and I did change my username a few years ago, but it was only once. I know there's no rule about changing your username, but seriously I hope this one is permanent. You're the only member I know ever that's changed his name at least four times in the last few months.
four times?!
i changed it three times - the original, real name doesn't count

« on: March 24, 2010, 01:59:24 PM »It's cool.
How long will this name last though?
I think this will be permanent - going back to my roots. FAFDM was THE film that made me a Clintmaniac
i even bought a serape like the one in the film
but...... i reserve the right to change it agin if
I have a new article OR PROJECT to plug (e.g. ALCATRAZ)

Eastwood News / Re: Clint : A Retrospective. New Book April 2010
« on: March 23, 2010, 05:39:59 PM »Unforgiven?
right.
but you would not confuse the the FAFDM character with Billy Munny.
I think Schickel possibly got Manco mixed up with another character Clint played around the same era.

Eastwood News / Re: Clint : A Retrospective. New Book April 2010
« on: March 20, 2010, 01:19:46 PM »
A very impressive effort.
best part are the many photos that this eastwood fan has not seen before.
i love the stuff from THE WITCHES - Clint in Rome with his Ferrari
The text is good too. Schickel seems to have improved over the years in his analysis of Clint's films.
But, he still has a knack for making silly mistakes.
Example: he says the manco character from FAFDM is a "hired gun" and "potential bank robber"
Say what?
I can not think of a single film where Clint played a hired gun except for JOE KIDD(?) and he was a bank robber in THUNDERBOLT.

Current Film Discussion / Re: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: The Story 1: The Title
« on: March 12, 2010, 03:27:56 PM »
a literal translation from Italian puts the Ugly second!
i wonder what would have happened if the English kept that order.
The title GBU is so much a part of our language. Thom Hartman, a radio commentator uses it and practically every day someone in the media uses the phrase!!!!!!!!!!!!!
certainly when the Good title comes up on the screen it is meant to be deeply ironic
the audience always laughs

well Kid, if the news that Magnificent Stranger named Gran Torino the second best film of the decade
does not qualify as a major "Eastwood Discussion' item.... i don't know what does!

any word on how it is doing overseas?
I suspect it will be more popular at the box-office there, than it has been in the USA.
England, for example is probably crazier about rugby than soccer!
