Jimmy Neutron Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 A reproted line from the flick: "We used to stack f**ks like you five feet high in Korea and use you for sandbags." Eastwood is supposedly great in this - a must see in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I'd like to see that flick, anything Eastwood is good for me as is Michael Caine, Kevin Spacey, Anthony Hopkins, or Gabriel Byrne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think it's funny that the cowboy is in a movie now where his tough guy catch phrase actually is "Hey you kids, get off my lawn". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 From the commercials, it feels like I've already seen it 10 times. It will probably be very predictible. Falling Down starting Clint Eastwood with a way cooler car. That being said, it's Clint Eastwood. I can't wait to go see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just got if off the newsgroups, I'll probably watch it tonight and report back. While we're on the topic of movies, I highly recommend The Wrestler. Awesome flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Wow - I'm surprised so many are excited to see this. I love Eastwood as much as the next guy, but the previews appear to be the same ol' same ol'. I especially hate the scenes (yes there are two separate ones) where he shoots the 'fake' gun charades style at the gang bangers. Yeah, this one is going to be cheesier than a Full House reunion show, I will definitely be PASSING on this flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 He plays a pretty good bigot in this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Like Soup Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I really liked the movie. RiffRaff is right, Eastwood does play a pretty good bigot. The crowd was laughing throughout the movie at his quips. I recommend it. Now, I've never seen a Full House reunion show like Brenspastic so I don't know how cheesy that is, and if you like Clint just like the next guy methinks you'd be up for the flick, not a pass. Gran Torino is a pretty good story, no cheese on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Just finished watching it and I thought it was great. Pretty funny at times and not what the trailer makes it out to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicious_bass Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Saw it friday night and I thought it was pretty decent. Nothing groundbreaking but funnier than I thought it would be and overall pretty well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Neutron Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'd like to see that flick, anything Eastwood is good for me as is Michael Caine, Kevin Spacey, Anthony Hopkins, or Gabriel Byrne Not a bad list - I'd add Don Cheadle, DeNiro and Nicholson.

Avernus Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Not a bad list - I'd add Don Cheadle, DeNiro and Nicholson. Righteous Kill killed that stigma about DeNiro and Pacino even though you didn't mention Pacino, he's right there... and Cheadle has a few movies I didn't like much, but couldn't fault his performance... I'd gladly add Ed Norton to that list and umm...DiCaprio... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Val Kilmer used to be on the list, but no more. He hasn't done a good thing in YEARS. Oh, and there aren't too many Russell Crowe movies in the last decade that would cause me to do anything other than want to see them.

When I think of actors that just make excellent script decisions, I think of those two guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I usually ignore actors altogether and focus on the story but Morgan Freeman is always worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'll see Torino because of Eastwood. He's on the list with Nicholson and Connery. Anything. By any of them. Automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Good call on Cusack. Malkovich used to be on that list, too...not so much anymore. SIDE NOTE: I wonder if Richie Cunningham / Opie Taylor has ever had the itch to get back on the otherside of the camera? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
