Great quote from the great man...

Great quote from the great man...

See, that's the best of his stuff right there - the face half in shadow drawing you in, the avenging angel theme, the slow pace leading to the inevitable and only the choicest dialogue left in after he'd put a line through most of the script. Masterly film-making.

Wooooaa back up a bit, Clint Eastwood lives in Yarm?????

No he lives in Carmel-by-the-Sea in California - i don't get why someone would say he lives in Yarm

 

[Laughing]

I am so disappointed, I would love Clint to live in Yarm. I know Nicolas Cage lives in Bradford on Avon.

"If a man has three things, WD-40, duct tape and a pair of vice grips, he can fix 50% of everything!"

It's the way he says it!

No matter how many times I hear that music it really does put the hairs up on the back of my neck

Yes, love the music theme too

"If a man has three things, WD-40, duct tape and a pair of vice grips, he can fix 50% of everything!"

That is a terrible quote Anton - It goes more like "With just these three things any man worth his salt can fix most things around the house"

Interestingly enough Gran Torino got no oscars as I recall and I think it is probably his best movie.

 

[Anton_Berg]

Funnily enough, his least popular film of all time is my favourite : Bronco Billy.

To his credit, I recall that Carmel had the smartest public toilets I've ever been in, which I think was during his stint as mayor.

 

[Laughing]

Never seen bronco billy, also I never much rated his wife either, in terms of acting, not looks.

 

[HarryVegas]

I like Bronco Billy. Sad to say, one of the worst, dumbest films I've ever seen was one of his though - Pink Cadillac. Redneck fodder.

He put cowboys back on the map.

Now I need to go to IMDB to look that up. I did look a few years ago, and as a director he is absoloutely fantastic, in terms of awards. The movies he directed were almost all superb, didn't like bridges of madison county though.
