DMD Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I have watched a number of my all-time favorite movies with my son, telling him that they were requisite "guy" movies. We've enjoyed the Count of Monte Cristo, Saving Private Ryan, Scarface, etc.. Tonight I noticed that "High Plains Drifter" was on with Clint Eastwood which as a kid was a favorite of mine. So we watch it and it is a little confusing to him and I try to answer questions tactfully knowing it all becomes apparent in the final ten seconds of the movie when "Shorty" was carving the headstone for the old Marshall and Eastwood disappears into the desert. The whole scene in town is over and the bad guys are all dead. The next morning, they are looking at the bad guys in their coffins right before cutting to the final scene in the cemetery. My wife walks in. "what movie are you watching?" "The end of High Plains Drifter" "Is that Clint Eastwood?" "Yes, it is Eastwood here at the very END of the movie." "Oh...okay. But isn't he is ghost in this movie?" "OH MY FREAKING GOD! REALLY!?!?! REALLY!?!?! YES. THANKS FOR RUINING THE END OF THE MOVIE. sigh... (she later said she thought he was invisible in the movie which may be even worse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 That scene where Clint Eastwood helped Demi Moore with making a clay .44 Magnum was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 That scene where Clint Eastwood helped Demi Moore with making a clay .44 Magnum was awesome. I remember that. It was just 30 minutes after he went outside and told the chimp to stay off his yard. Good movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I remember that. It was just 30 minutes after he went outside and told the chimp to stay off his yard.
