Clint Eastwood thinks America’s “p---y generation” needs to “just f–ing get over” Donald Trump’s “racism.”
In an interview with Esquire published Wednesday, the actor/director/producer said young America — which he has dubbed both the “kiss-ass” and “p---y” generation — needs to stop calling things racist.
“[Trump’s] onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” he said. “We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”

Some of those Camaros were bitchin’, though.
IROCs? I could hear them coming from all the loose parts. Almost the penultimate waitress car.
Eastwood is a marvel; he has more juice on the fastball at 86 than most film makers have in their 30s and 40s. Obviously, you know him (and I don’t), but it’s no secret that Clint learned a lot from his two mentors, Sergio Leone and Don Seigel. Both men spent much of their careers working on B-list films with limited resources and tight budgets before achieving success and getting a crack a bigger films later in their careers. They knew how to “put everything on the screen” and stay within their limited budget, while keeping the production on track.
Clint is also a throw-back to some of the great directors from Hollywood’s Golden Era, including John Ford. Eastwood’s westerns and police dramas have a very spare, lean narrative with very little wasted time and energy. I know that Joel Cox has edited every Eastwood film for 30 years, but you can look at the finished product and tell that a lot of it is “edited in the camera” making it even easier for a pro like Cox to do his job.
The great irony, of course, is that it took Hollywood over 30 years to appreciate Eastwood’s talent. I’m hoping someday a film historian will write a book on the Eastwood company and the talented technicians and actors who have been a big part of his success.
Clint, it’s Alinsky at work. What is the most feared thing? Having your head chopped off in the desert with a rusty blade by a man who has sex with goats? Nope. The worst thing that could happen to you is being called a racist. Even for accidentally using the wrong PC terminology or for wanting borders on your country.
Strangely, when Clint grew up, we and Mexicans were the SAME RACE (I am Caucasian like Clint). It seems the LEFT is the one making races out of nothing just to polarize others. We don’t want Canadians coming in and costing us billions a year either.
One promo for our local radio station today said “Blink 182 just put out a new album! The coolest game around is Pokemon! And Clinton is running for President! What year is it again??”
I believe as film editor, Joel Cox has one of the easiest jobs in Hollywood. And it’s what you touched on in your previous comment....Eastwood does most of the editing before he shoots the scene. Joel Cox has one of two maybe three takes to choose from.That’s it. Whereas as editor for someone like director Stanley Kubrick will shoot every scene 20 or 30 times. His movie Eyes Wide Shut took well over a year to finish.
One of the scenes I was in, in the movie Changeling, Clint didn’t like what was on the storyboard with 50/50 shots. So he changed shots of the scene completely. He talked it over with his crew, then called in the actors. He had all this intricate blocking in the police station with actors and extras moving at precise moments. We did one walk through rehearsal and nailed it in three takes.
Eastwood would film more in a week than most directors would film in a month.
Does everyone notice how the headline and article convey opposite meanings?
Have you heard about the new drink - The Sully? It’s named after CPT Sullenberger.
Two shots of grey goose and a splash of water.
Other than not sucking up to the PC mafia, I have seen no evidence of Trump being a Racist.
I have amused myself by making a list of people I would like to have dinner with——living or dead.
Queen Elizabeth & Clint Eastwood are on that list, along with Roger Penske.
