Celebrity worship is a sign of a diseased ,declining culture.Eastwood makes a living pretending to be fictional characters dreamed up by someone else. Leave it at that. BTW this “hero” forced Sondra Locke to abort more than one of his offspring.

And you personally know this?

I’m amused at the criticism Eastwood draws from the left. Recently, one of the other actors in Gran Torino declared the movie “racist”. If anything, it is one of the most anti-racist movies ever made. Eastwood plays an old bigoted fellow, who through interaction with his non-white neighbors ends up sacrificing his life for them. And that’s racist?

“The Outlaw Josey Wales” is the best Eastwood film. A true American classic in more ways than one.

Just watched Absolute Power and In the Line of Fire a few nights ago. Time to pull out the Dirty Harry ones I think...not to mention The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, Few Dollars More...in those, he said to get that angry, sour look he’d just light up one of those “foul tasting cigars”, his words, and that look was there...he also said he did some target practice with a .44 magnum so he would know about how much recoil would look realistic for the Dirty Harry series it was not even officially released for retail sale when they started on the 1st movie.

These are likely the same people who think “Blazing Saddles” is racist.

“Blazing Saddles” was made with the express purpose of poking fun at, and ridiculing racism.

Of course, these are the same people that think the 3/5 Compromise is evidence of a racist America.

I second that remark. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Eastwood in Carmel back in 1983 and cannot easily believe he did that. He seemed to have been the kind of guy to man up and pay the freight.

"Gran Torino" is not only my favorite movie of his, it is one of my favorites of all movies.

The Outlaw Josie Wales, hands down.

It’s one of those Movies that you’ve seen dozens of times and when you are flipping through the Channels and it comes on you watch it again.

I have to agree that “The Outlaw Josey Wales” is Eastwood’s best movie. I will occasionally watch the gunfights at the end of “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “For a Few Dollars More”, but “The Outlaw Josey Wales” is one that I watch at least annually in its entirety, savoring the great dialog, the characters and the action.

Besides, how does someone force someone else?
Did he hold her down?

A woman’s ability to “remember” the past however she wants to is as infinite as space.

Well thank goodness noone here is bowing down and sacrificing animals to him and calling him Lord then.

And just for the record, there is nothing g wrong with admiring the art of artists. It doesn’t mean we fal, at their feet and take the mark of the beast to do so.
