New Eastwood movie. “Gran Torino.” About a retired Koren War vet and autoworker man who watches the neighborhood around him go to pieces while doing what he can to hold it together. No idea how it ends. But Eastwood ain’t know for happy endings these days.

*Sigh* Eastwood’s character is a Korean War vet and retired autoworker...

Ah, thank you. Not being much of a movie fan I missed the reference.

Cheers!

Yep, Clint’s last few movies are depressing as hell, and I’m willing to bet he dies at the end of Grand Torino.

Same for Will Smith. I watched ‘I am Legend’ last night...after reading the synopsis for ‘Seven Pounds’.

Who talked him into those two movies?

Eventually, Hollywood will remember they are in business to make money, not lecture us non stop.

Eventually.
