Clint Eastwood... is alive to me.

That's right, still alive. Still working. New movie just coming out.

It's mildly amazing, how he's been alive all these decades and is still going. I suppose, for a 93 year old, he's still pretty handsome. Is he the "biggest star" still living? Given his decades of box office success, well received movies.... a fairly quirky biography. Rowdy Gates. Man With No Name, Harry Callahan, Philo Beddoe, Willian Muny... quite a career.

What are your thoughts about Clint?

He is a trump supporter so I just can't like him anymore.

What is is about America and such old people these days?

I've never forgiven him for taking a story that could tell itself and that a blind, deaf and mute director could have done (Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil) and completely and utterly fucking up almost every aspect of that movie (save for the late and fabulous Chablis.)

Who gives a fuck about a Trumper?

TROLL.

Total prick. I believe everything I read in Sondra's autobiography.

Unforgiven was good. And I actually quite liked the Angelina film.

R3- What a disappointment that was!! I had read the book and was SO looking forward to that movie.

He talked to a chair while insulting President Obama.

"Unforgotten" is a great film and the best western ever made. But Eastwood is a fanged lunatic.

Eastwood didn't back Trump in 2020. He publicly supported Bloomberg, and when that didn't work out he pretty much kept his own counsel.

Was his "anti-hero" persona generative of the MAGA movement? MAGA folk loving Dirty Harry when kids, etc. One could argue yes....

R5 Locke's "The Good, Bad, and the Very Ugly" is a very well written bio, book about Hollywood. Underrated.

R9- I have heard stories over the years about how very badly he treated her.

If you hate his politics, take heart - Noam Chomsky is 94.

R9- Agree- I enjoyed it very much. She seemed like a cool lady. He is a cheap prick. And he treated many of his friends like garbage. Just very petty and vindictive.

Working is keeping him fit physically and mentally. I admire his fortitude towards his craft. I don't always like his films, but at age 93 he is still a force.

I wonder what the three men talked about during this shoot.

I keep the man, the actor and the director separate. The man I really don't care about. The actor I always found a bit lacking and not sexy at all but tolerable and certainly iconic in some roles. The director is hit-and-miss, but mostly very watchable. His directing style is not very personal but his movies are effective and hit the mark for the most part, as long as they are not slow.

R14- Even with the beard that I do not like, PN puts CE to shame as far as looks go. No comparison.

R17 CE was so handsome, but not sexy really, right? Sort of pretty in an adolescent sexless way.

Does he still enjoy screaming at empty chairs?

R18- What is that word for tall and skinny? Lanky? You are right, he had a boyish look when younger but not sexy in my opinion. Paul Newman was a beautiful, sexy man.

R20- What happened? I haven't heard of this before.
