That is the big question now.We all know he was a vital figure in film industry for over 30 years,but now that his films seem to repeat themselves(no offense to Clint or anyone,iam just voicing my opinion),does the world of films really has the need for Clint?Because iam afraid that he might become one of the "monuments",great filmmakers and stars who are kept active just for who they were and not who they still are.Just to keep the flame of legend burning.But think about it,havent we already gotten all we could from Clint?
I cant say anything for sure yet.Maybe he hasnt dried up,maybe he will surprise us again.But ladies and gentlemen,we all know that Clint is no Orson Welles,no Kurosawa....only such men could show flashes of brilliance when others had already lost their touch long ago and they could revive their spark.Can Clint do that?I guess it remains to see.Again,i wish not to provoke anyone here,these are just thoughts.

Well of course the world doesnt need clint, I mean, hes not preventing nuclear explosions or anything  , but I think as long as his movies stay enjoyable, and he doesnt become a parody of what he used to be, he can still be a very succesful director/actor/producer, whatever he feels like doing. Im looking forward to mystic river, and I know clint still probably has some surprises for us in the future. We have had a long thread about clint wanting to quit acting, but if he goes on, Im sure its gonna be good. I dont think his movies are repeating themselves....Just in the last decade, hes been a photographer, a robber, an astronaut,an FBI profiler,a texas ranger, a secret service agent, a retired killer and much more..... Clint keeps surprising me, and he entertains the world. And we need entertaining. After all, maybe we do need clint

which was overhyped thanks to the legions of weeping women(uh oh,now iam dead for sure!). ahum ahum  ok, first off, Im not into romantic movies. I even had to watch bridges in 2 parts, because I got kinda bored, but thats strictly because its not my kind of movie. After re-watching it, I found it brilliant, its a beautiful movie and a fine storyline. My mom likes it a lot, and she doesnt weep. Were not weepers, thats all. that doesnt make it a bad film.And clint did it for people like you who seem to think all he can do is be aa tough guy. Clint has been in a lot of different roles in his career, more than a cop and a cowboy, and it sucks that people dont seem to realize/respect that. Anyways, I dont wanna start a big thing here
