    Clint has mostly awful movies with some great hits.
    Keeps him relevant though.

    I'd reverse that. He has mostly good movies with a handful of stinkers, IMO.
    Agreed. And I too admit to the long-time crush.

    (thank goodness he bore no resemblance to my dad)

    Had coffee with him at a golf/tennis place when I was around 15/16. Over the moon doesn't begin to describe how I felt!

    Leave Clint alone :angry:

    Yeah. :angry::lol:

    One weird thing about him: He looks EXACTLY like my dad now. They didn't look the same when they were both younger, but now that they're old, they could be twins! Slightly disturbing for me, actually, given that I have had a massive crush on Clint Eastwood all my life. :fearful:
    Hey I like Clint and he's smart guy. Old crusty and from jurrasic era but good dude though I don't agree with him on some stuff. My brother and brother in law hung out with him drinking whiskey few years ago. Not that this matters but fun rid bit. Now think Penns smarter. Ha

    Looks like Penn is now under somewhat recognition that he may have played with fire. He is doing a 60 Minutes interview to say he was in no way "essential" to El Chapo's capture, as Mexican officials have stated.

    Hopefully for him, El Chapo has access to US cable TV in the pokey.

    Ever since I saw as much of Tree of Life as I could tolerate, I've wished nothing but death for Sean Penn... worst movie ever. I wish Vedder would stop following him around like a little schoolgirl!

    That is pretty fucking extreme, don't you think?? You've wished nothing but death for him because you hated one of his movies?? Huh? I guess you must be exaggerating, but perhaps find a better way to express yourself, since wishing death upon someone shouldn't be taken lightly.
    I agree that Tree of Life was a pretentious piece of shit though. I mean seriously, what the FUCK were they thinking?? And it was nominated for best picture FFS. I was flabbergasted.

    Don't know. He didn't even know who Penn was and was more interested in the mamacita actress.

    Chapos lawyers are saying what Penn printed are all lies, so that's not helping Penn out much either. The Mexican government pointing Penn out as a contributing factor as well as Penn printing El Chapo's admissions of crimes (which has never done in the past) ... well, let's just say I'm glad I'm not Sean Penn.

    So last night I heard that Mr. Penn did the El Chapo interview, so that people would discuss, and debate, the "War on Drugs".

    What exactly is Mr. Penn's viewpoint on the "War on Drugs"?
    Take me piece by piece.....

    I don't know, but don't most people think it's a total joke that causes way way more problems that it solves? I would assume that's Penn's opinion too. I mean, it's the "war on drugs" that allowed El Chapo to reach that status that he did. If it weren't for the "war on drugs", none of us would even know who he is.

    Not at all sarcastic. Tree of Life ranks up there with 2001: A Space Odyssey (same FX) and Mulholland Drive as gorgeous cinematic mindbenders.

    Also, in my experience, phrases such as "pretentious piece of shit" and "artsy-fartsy garbage" are generally reactionary statements that could often be replaced with "I don't get it" -- that is, if the one uttering the phrase can suppress one's ego for a few seconds and realize that it doesn't speak to one's intelligence but rather one's aesthetic preference and/or taste.

    I speak from experience, having uttered similar phrases about Radiohead for years before finally realizing I sounded like an asshole. I just don't get Radiohead. Wish I did. But I just can't get into them.

    his viewpoint on the war on drugs is this (also posted in the link above):

    Let's go to the big picture of what we all want," Penn said. "We all want this drug problem to stop. We all want them -- the killings in Chicago to stop. We are the consumer. Whether you agree with Sean Penn or not, there is a complicity there. And if you are in the moral right, or on the far left, just as many of your children are doing these drugs."

    basically what he's saying is what we all know: if there is demand, someone will supply it. if you want there to be gangs and shootings and the like, sure, make all drugs illegal. if not, let's do something about it; put the gangs and kingpins out of business.

    agreed. (although I do love the non-bleeps and bloops Radiohead).

    Dankind, you make a rational response to a foolish comment passing judgement on something you enjoyed. (Foolish because as we know one man's garbage is another man's gold.) You sir, are what we all should aim to be.
