Excerpted from The Hollywood Reporter: When he was honored at an event at CinemaCon Wednesday, Clint Eastwood shared thoughts on his acting career, his interest in directing and one of his most vocal critics: Michael Moore.

The American Sniper helmer, who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter’s Stephen Galloway at the annual convention, told the crowd that he had been asked many times about Moore’s comments against his war drama.

“Everyone is saying I threatened to kill Michael Moore – that’s not true … but it isn’t a bad idea,” he joked, getting a big laugh from the crowd.

“Once years ago somebody asked me what I would do if a guy like [Moore] came to my house and started filming like they did with Charlton Heston … and I thought, well if he’s on your property, I guess you can shoot him,” he said.

The director, who has never met Moore, added: “Any way you look at it, it’s his opinion. That’s what’s great about this country — You can think about it any way you want.” Keep reading

At a restaurant tonight, I saw a woman that had to weigh 270-300 lbs. My first thought was, “They don’t make panties that big.” She would be a mate for Moore.

Someone told me when you reach a certain age you can say whatever the #!$@ you want. I agree. You go, Clint.

They do.

And if you're a little girl and your granny takes you to the mall...

they can "fall down" around granny's ankles.

I heard such a story from very funny person and laughed 'til I cried.

It's all in how you tell it, some people are just good at telling funny stories.

I love this guy.

I see that we now have a very similar haircut....I don’t bother to comb mine anymore either. LOL When my wife says
“Beetlejuice”, I know it’s sticking to a bit too far. LOL

God bless you Clint.

Reminds me of a sign in the margin of one of the old Pogo comic strips: "Have you ever considered the fortune in your own unrendered fat?"
