Clint's making a movie. When John Huston made "The Maltese Falcon," he didn't mean you should go out and murder people and steal priceless artifacts.

So is that a yes?

Ah, the voice of reason....Of course you will now be flamed, take cover.

I can't say too much bad about Eastwood after what he said about Moore. You know he said, "If Michael Moore comes to my house with a camera, I'll F'in kill him".

Right, but if you think that message movies - when well done - can't influence people's thoughts and behavior, you're simple, or willfully naive.

There was an "assisted suicide" in the "Sand Pebbles", but it still was a great flick!

If you liked "Cider House Rules" you're going to love this one.

Hollywood has a formula now, have some interesting characters interact aimlessly until the audience says where are they going with this and then spring the controversial issue. And of course solve it from Hollywood's liberal viewpoint.

The movies Huston directed existed in a moral universe: the bad guys were either arrested or killed in the end. Does Clint's movie have a similiar exploration of consequences? (I haven't seen it so I don't know.)

I agree with that, but then it is Hollywood's 2005

He didn't? Opps....
