I'm looking forward to The Eastwood Factor!

[KC]

German television is showing a new 30-minute documentary on Eastwood next Tuesday as part of the long-running series "Kennwort Kino." It's directed by Peter Paul Huth and Maik Platzen. It'll be followed by a showing of The Dead Pool (why? ); later on in the week, they'll be featuring Honkytonk Man.

My mom called and told me that Clint's on TV today (Finland).. Since I don't read the paper, I wouldn't have known. Mom's the best!

An interview and after that, a showing of Bridges of Madison County..

So I have a good evening coming up.

 " In Like Clint  "

   The octogenarian actor-director takes center stage in the so-so documentary The Eastwood Factor

Clinton Elias Eastwood Jr. turns 80 years young on Monday, May 31, providing a good enough reason for cable’s Turner Classic Movies to devote a day’s worth of programming to hail the actor-director’s considerable output, with everything from seminal spaghetti westerns to the adventures of Los Angeles police inspector Harry Callahan’s magnum-toting anti-hero. A new documentary titled The Eastwood Factor (Warner Home Video; 88 minutes; unrated; 2010) will also be broadcast on TCM as part of the festivities, but alas it’s more of a mixed bag that only tells part of the story.

"The Eastwood Factor," a splendid documentary on the career of Clint Eastwood, becomes the icing on an all-day cake TCM will serve Monday to mark the actor/director's 80th birthday.

   

What Eastwood seems to most resist is labels. In real life, he's a conservative guy, but his film characters have almost always been concerned with what's just and fair for the people in a situation, not an ideological template.

While most of his awards have come for directing ("Mystic River" alone confirms his skill), there's an extent to which "The Eastwood Factor" seems to be gently reminding us not to overlook his acting, either.

Because he's led a fairly low-profile off-screen life - give or take his messy split from Sondra Locke, which is not mentioned here - Eastwood has never been inflated into an 800-pound cartoon of himself.

Perhaps because of that, it's impressive to sit down and just remember how much he's done. Monday, starting at 6 a.m., TCM will help.

Clinton Elias Eastwood Jr.

 

Elias!!! Where'd they get that from?

[KC]

Yeah, I was going to ask ... "Elias"?

[Lin Sunderland]

Uk TV has been showing a lot of Clint's movies over the last week or so. 

[The Schofield Kid]

Australian viewers with digital tv or a set top box and have access to ABC2.

Every Saturday night, they have been showing an Eastwood film at 8:30pm. This has been going for about six weeks now and they seem to be going in chronological order.

Sorry, I meant to post this a few weeks back.

[Southern cat]

There playing High Plains Drifter tonight. What, did they miss a few along the way.

[The Schofield Kid]

I don't know where they started but last week was Joe Kidd, before that Play Misty For Me, Two Mules For Sister Sara, Coogan's Bluff.

So they must only have certain titles.

Quote
Hollywood et les Indiens
L'image et la place des Amérindiens dans l'histoire du cinéma américain.

Le réalisateur Neil Diamond, lui-même Indien Cree, donne la parole à des gens de cinéma connus pour leur regard acéré sur l'image et la place des Amérindiens dans le western américain. Il s'entretient notamment avec Clint East-wood, rencontré dans ses studios de Burbank en Californie, mais aussi avec le Canadien Robbie Robertson, compositeur et lauréat d'un Native American Music Award, dont la mère est originaire de la tribu des Mohawk. Il parle avec Jim Jarmusch (de son film Dead man en particulier) et avec de nombreux acteurs d'origine amérindienne, tels que Wes Studi (Le dernier des Mohicans, Geronimo) ou Graham Greene (Danse avec les loups). Deux historiennes et le critique de cinéma canadien Jesse Wente complètent ces témoignages et analysent, à partir d'exemples de tournages, comment s'est peu à peu forgée l'image réductrice de l'Indien rusé, cavalier hors pair et assoiffé de sang. Une image en partie corrigée par la génération récente de réalisateurs amérindiens, comme Zacharias Kunuk, l'auteur d'Atanarjuat - La légende de l'homme rapide, Palme d'or au Festival de Cannes 2001.

Actor, director Clint Eastwood gets big salute from Turner Classic Movies

"The Eastwood Factor," a splendid documentary on the career of Clint Eastwood, becomes the icing on an all-day cake TCM will serve Monday to mark the actor/director's 80th birthday.

Narrated by Eastwood's friend Morgan Freeman and produced by another pal, Richard Schickel, "The Eastwood Factor" glows with unapologetic admiration for its subject, and makes a good case for his exalted position in the film world.

The documentary is flanked on the air by the evidence: nine Eastwood films, from "The First Traveling Salesman" in 1956 through "Magnum Force" in 1973. ...

Once again, Turner Classic Movies here in Australia is a huge disappointment. They are only showing Where Eagles Dare & Kelly's Heroes.

I am sympathetic. I will be spending Clint Eastwood's birthday helping to move my youngest daughter. 

[TWOMULES]

Turner Classic Movies here in the UK is also a huge disappointment.
Not 1 Eastwood film on at all
