There will be no 'next' Clint Eastwood. He's a one-of-a-kind.

You are so right. He IS one of a kind.
His CLASSIC movie was THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY.
I still watch it whenever it pops up.

I am sure that their current practice of scouring gay bathhouses all over california has not worked at all.

If not for his textbook liberalism, I would say the closest would be Harrison Ford.

BTW, Eastwood's son Scott is a spitting image of him. I would love for him to do a sequel (or a prequel) of the Any Which Way movies.

Absolutely, Rummy - all you have to do is look at the current Hollywood ‘leading’ men to realize they broke the Clint mold.

Has he public announced a disgust for Mitt Romney by now. Remember Clint was priceless with his classic piece on Obama’s empty chair at the RNC.

I first saw him as an extra in the sequel to, “Creature From The Black Lagoon”. I would never have seen him if Svenghouly (however you spell his name, had not pointed him out.

Wasn't he the fighter pilot in "Tarantula"? Dropped napalm on the giant furry beastie to end its reign of terror.

Can't think of any else -- literally -- who was as successful as both an actor and director. He's A list at both.

Chris Pratt is the only actor capable of even coming close. He needs a good western.

I go with "The Outlaw Josie Wales.

But The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was a great movie too. The final standoff scene is iconic.

Gran Torino was so politically correct and I don’t recall anyone whining about it.

I’m just waiting for Max to call me...

And now, for some fine music. I love this movie more now than when it came out. So much great stuff.

Love it when the old biker guy gets in the camper at the end and Clyde gives him a kiss on the lips.
