I LOVED Gran Torino...more than I expected to. I’m sitting on Trouble with the Curve waiting on a good time to watch. Clint Eastwood is a national treasure.

I watched “Creature From The Black Lagoon” a few months ago. After watching it there was a short bit of comment on the DVD.
Also an interview with Ricou Browning. One of the tidbits was that Clint Eastwood had a very short scene as an extra. Sure enough you could recognize him easily.

I just realized it was a sequel not the original in which Eastwood appeared.

Lol, so harsh! But dang, doesn’t his character (and Clint, himself) say what we all want to say most of the time?!
Empty chair, empty presidency comes to mind. :)

Grand Turino was quite good.But an 80 year old Eastwood? I'm not so sure.

To quote Eastwood’s character from his woefully under-rated movie Space Cowboys: “The clock’s ticking Bob. And I’m only getting older.”

Eastwood was also a fighter pilot in the old SciFi movie Tarantula.

Bo Hopkins is acting again at 75. I think the guy is a great actor and totally hilarious.

I’d love to see him do Hamlet. “To be or not to be, that is the question...” [Sound of Smith & Wesson cocking] “Oh, did you think I meant me? I meant you.”
To: Ciaphas Cain
I always liked that movie, but it just always seemed to me that they wrote themselves into a corner and had to throw together some kind of ending. The last 30 minutes just seemed kinda duct taped together.

Dirty Harry is wildly misunderstood by its critics. He’s not a vigilante or reckless antihero. He is a guy doing what must be done against a system that is growing hostile to justice.

Dirty Harry movies are the best! One of my favorite segments from “The Enforcer”.
CALLAHAN: Hypothetical situation, huh? All right, I’m standing on the street corner and Mrs. Grey here comes up and propositions me... that if I come home with her, for five dollars she’ll put on an exhibition with a Shetland pony.
MRS. GREY: If this is your idea of humor, Inspector...
BOARD EXAMINER: All right, what are you trying to do here, Callahan?
CALLAHAN: I’m just trying to find out if anybody in this room knows what the hell law’s being broken... besides cruelty to animals.

I think his best bet would be to assemble a stellar class of senior actors and actresses, and then the hard part, putting them in an interesting movie. Such as:
Doris Day
Ann-Margret
Dick Van Dyke
Roger Moore
Kim Novak
Tippi Hedren
Christopher Plummer
Eva Marie Saint
Nanette Fabray
Martin Landau
Max Von Sydow
Gene Hackman
Robert Wagner
Joanne Woodward
Robert Duvall
James Earl Jones
etc.
