Clint Eastwood is a 100 years old and still more badass than you

Bloods End

It looks like Clint "Glare could kill you without trying" Eastwood has not one but two movies coming out this year. The first, "Changeling" seems to be about Angelina Jolie wanting her son back and Jeffrey Donovan deciding that any old kid would do, while Jon Malkovich spends his time hating on the man. Oddly enough it was written by J. Michael Straczynski but does not involve space or gods of thunder.

And the second, Gran Torino, Eastwood makes a movie starring himself where no matter how old he is he can still kick everyone's ass, and wants the damn Chinese kids off his lawn.

Gran Torino looks good. God I love Eastwood.

there will never be an individual as badass as the man with no name

Didn't Eastwood direct that movie that came out recently (with the guy from Burn Notice)?

And Gran Torino looks awesome.

oh my god that last seuquence in the graveyard is one of the best scenes in cinematic history

Fandyien

i love the way the ugly is deeply religious and simultaneously the most vile person imaginable, but at the same time all of the characters embody way more then their title. i mean, the man with no name is "the good", but he's really more ambiguously self-serving.

the only thing that new NFL commercial has going for it is that it has The Ecstasy of Gold playing in the background. Any filmed sequence looks epic/awesome with that music.

I've liked most of the movies I've seen he's directed. Except Million Dollar Baby.

While I think that the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is the better (and much wider in scope) movie, I actually like the ending sequence of For a Few Dollars More better.

The theme of the locket is just really moving and ties everything together perfectly in that gunfight.

When I was a kid most of the guys I thought were cool turned out to not be that great.

Except Clint Eastwood.

I watched Man With No Name (I think thats the one, they've all kinda ran together) when I was about 9 years old at my grandma's house and even though I understood nothing of the plot (as I didn't catch the whole thing) I just remember thinking Clint Eastwood was awesome chawin' on that cigar and strapping a sheet of iron to his chest, blowing dudes away with the nonchalance of your middle aged balding neighbor trimming his hedges.

GRMike

Unless I missed it I don't think Man With No Name is an Eastwood movie, it is just a reference to his character in those movies. If I did miss it I need to see it. The Dollars trilogy is one of my favorite movie experiences ever.

That's A Fistful of Dollars.

Donovan Puppyfucker

The character is the Man with no Name. The movies are the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, a Fistful of Dollars, and For a Few Dollars More.

A Fistful of Dollars is a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, and the "Man with No Name" is based on Toshiro Mifune's character.

Yes, I know that. I was not refuting that.

Old Man Has Hose, Knows How to Use It

LONG BEACH, CA — Local retired arc welder and The Price is Right aficionado Huell Stanton, 74, claims that he has hose and that he knows how to use it. According to Stanton, a resident of Long Beach for the past 72 years, claims that the neighborhood isn’t what it used to be and is being taken over by layabouts. He stated that he may have to take action into his own hand or hands, depending on how high he turns on the hose.

Tensions flared recently when Bryan Teesley, 11, cut across Stanton’s yard walking to a local mini-mart. “I don’t get it, it’s not even that good of a yard, the whole thing is covered in weeds and I think there’s a rusting lawn mower somewhere in there,” Teesley told us. After spotting the youths, Stanton then began to brandish his fist and then moved on to wave his hose at the group of youths. “My mom says that Clinton getting elected broke his brain or something,” Teesely concluded, riding his Razor scooter down the sidewalk.

Huell, while alive during the Vietnam War did not serve in active duty but insists, that “He had a hard time, too.” He then went on to explain for the next fifteen minutes about what his brother was doing during the decade and a popular song, the title of which he forgot. Afterwards, he then mentioned that he once knew a guy that “[R]eminded me of you.”

The garden hose in question is the Hydro-Tech Flexi-Hose, preferred hose of garden hobbyist the nation over. “It’s a good hose, but not as good as my old hose,” Stanton told us while looking for a screwdriver, but not this screwdriver, “They stopped making the old hose I used for some reason, so I gotta’ buy this one, but isn’t as good as they used to be.” He then went on to list lots of things that aren’t the same as they used to be, including the empty lot across the street, which used to be a slightly larger empty lot. Afterwards, he then asked us to say hello to our mother and that he was always sure we were going to turn out gay.

Mister Longbaugh

Jordyn

I think the Eastwood movie I've seen the most is Two Mules for Sister Sarah?

It used to be on TBS all the time.

Like, right after I'd get done watching Clash of the TItans.

Well he did blow up a bunch of buildings we presumed had people in them

He didn't kill 150 people on screen, that's the important bit

This is the best thing in history.

edit: On topic, Gran Torino has an...interesting plot but looks like it could be pulled off. Maybe. I can't really tell for sure.
