A friend of mine called this morning who’d seen Clint Eastwood’s Richard Jewell last night in Hollywood. She knew I was seeing it this morning in New York. “It’s going to upset your apple cart of an Oscar list,” she said.
She was right. Eastwood, at 90, has made a jewel of a film in “Richard Jewell,” a real masterclass in filmmaking. Eastwood will have to be nominated for Best Director. The screenplay and music (by Arturo Sandoval) will have to be nominated. And the actors, the actors now roll right into the top 5 in their respective categories. Paul Walter Hauser is the most unlikely leading man as Jewell. Sam Rockwell, now on a run, goes into Best Supporting Actor. Kathy Bates in Supporting Actress.

In all of this BS Trump hysteria we forget how disgusting the Bill Clinton administration was with the FBI/DOJ in other events: Waco,Oklahoma City,Columbine,Ruby Ridge,Elian Gonzalez and many others.
Saw MIDWAY last week and I’ll tell you one thing Harrison nailed: Nimitz’sense of the enormity of the what he was involved in and what he had to do.
Yes. The Doolittle raid scenes were excellent, too.
That in itself could even be a separate movie.
I’d like to see a separate movie about Guadalcanal and another on Tarawa.
Nope, Jethro Bodine was undercover living with his uncle and granny in Beverly Hills.
Yup.
I normally see about two movies a year.
I have or will see the four movies that you just mentioned all in a span of a few weeks.
LOL! But what about operatives? Did he have operatives?
They made one. It was called Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo.
Go Clint Go!
Hope he makes a movie about Waco next.

The FBI really honed their “skills” on the past 20 years. They can’t solve their way out of a paper sack, but framing innocent people they got down cold.
No, but I think he did have some attractive Bond girl types (Bodine girls?) from Miss Hathaway’s secretarial pool.
Guadalcanal Diary, Thin Red Line, With the US Marines at Tarawa are a few more.
Arturo Sandoval did the music, that’s reason enough to see it.
“My name is Bodine. Jethro Bodine...”
America’s double-nought spy!
Just saw Midway an hour ago. Harrelson behaves. I didn’t see him slip out of character at all. Outstanding movie!
Excellent commentary. Thanks.
I'll always remember. Rowdy Yates was my first 'crush' when I was young!
December 13: Perfect timing, just as the Horowitz/Barr/Durham tornado is loosed upon the FBI brass, and America gets an education.
I hadn’t been to a movie in years but I did go to see Midway...
I thought it was well done...
and a singer...he sang in Paint Your Wagon...that was him...
Thank you! It sounds like the makings of another instant classic. He’s a marvel at any age, but at this age he’s a miracle. No, I didn’t know he wrote his film scores! That’s simply amazing.
