Personally, I like Clint better in the "Spaghetti Westerns" and "Dirty Harry" flicks he did long ago. His newer stuff isn't my cup o' tea.

The last one he did that I liked was "In the Line of Fire".

After The Unforgiven, his macho could go no further. That is the most macho I have ever seen.

I like Clint Eastwood. He has the courage to read a story and then bring the script to life. At 75 he doesn't have to compromise.

That is what Hollywood used to do. Before a "small" film was a 25 million dollar budget, the studios could take the best talent available and bring the great stories to the screen. Good for him. We could use more.

But "Bridges of Madison County?" Why, Clint, why?

Eastwood is a renowned womanizer. Is that respect for women?

Hated "Mystic River". Yuk.

I think it has more to do with his lowered testosterone level.

That depends, did he pay for any of their abortions? That can cover a multitude of sins. Heck, just supporting abortion is enough to elect a womanizer president.

That would explain his really good acting in "Bridges of Madison County".

...Less than the average NBA player, I'd wager.
