I suspect the author is a flaming poofter.
Well, I think Cool Hand Luke was a study in how passive aggressiveness can be a solution to all one’s problems. That’s probably why libs liked Luke and the movie so much: Luke never fought back, they beat him up, they threw him in the box, he laughed, he screamed, he never fought back. Can’t see John Wayne or Clint Eastwood playing that role.
I like Atticus Finch.
Favorite Newman?
Cool Hand Luke.
Hud
The Hustler
Feminists have made the culture toxic. Men criticized for the mere fact of being men. I’m a happily married man past the age of courting so I’m not part of that “men going their own way” movement but if I were in my early 20s in this environment, I probably would be. Who needs to be told you are no damn good unless you worship women as superior and at the same time you can be ruined for looking sideways at one if she gets it in her head that the look held some microaggression. When the sex robots get good, the species will be in severe danger of extinction under this current cultural state.

My first thought exactly. Author obviously never saw Slap Shot.
They say the best preachers are saved out of the gutter at a later age in life, having peed on and BEEN peed upon, with an insight others don't have.
When Jesus gets a hold of ya'
His Sesame Ginger is the BOMB !
As I recall, his Butch Cassidy character kicked a guy in the groin. I guess that’s not toxic if a liberal says it’s not.
LOL, I love that movie!
Great character. I think he played the doctor, right?
Nonsense.
Lock this writer in a room for a week, showing “Paint Your Wagon,” “Cool Hand Luke,” “Dirty Harry,” “The French Connection,” “The Dirty Dozen,” “The Magnificent Seven,” “The Good, Bad and the Ugly,” and “The Green Berets” on a continuous loop. That should fix him.
The Sand Pebbles ... the best movie ever made.
These guys all played characters of strong men going their own way. Thry had plans and goals and nothing and no one was more important than what they wanted to get done. No man or woman was going to deter them.
This is an attack on men being able to do this very thing.
Oh, and you can add “Cross of Iron” to that list. Gotta add James Coburn!
My favorite Newman movie is HOMBRE.
Director Howard Hawks:
Most of the leading men today, the younger men especially, are a little bit effeminate. There’s no toughness. [Steve McQueen] and [Clint Eastwood] don’t compare with [John Wayne].
