it's on my shortlist.
I like Clint.... he has done well finding parts that suit his actual age the last few years.

Eastwood is a legend. The older he gets, the less he loses.
His old westerns are still watchable. Dated, but watchable. Unforgiven was a total classic.
You can't say that many actors have lasted as long as Clint Eastwood and gone so strong. His movies that he directs are all a bit the same style, if you know what I mean.
Yes, I want to see Gran Torino.

Recently we had a big get together in my area to give local life achievement awards to actors. Clint was there. There was a talk show host who worked on the Board of Directors of some charity organization with Clint's wife. As a result, she got to have a personal interview with him.
She said he was the most humble and approachable person she could ever imagine. There was not a single air of arrogance, dismissiveness or superiority about him. Keep in mind that this man has done EVERYTHING, acted, directed, produced and written bucket loads of great films over 40+ years. The talk show host said, that in contrast to Eastwood, the other younger stars will totally full of themselves.
Clint has learned a valuable lesson in life: when you've done it all, you don't have to try to prove anything.

Eastwood defies aging - his craft just gets better and better. Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Letters from Iwo Jima, Gran Torino - and they thought The Unforgiven was his old age comeback!!

Too bad people can't learn that early in life - what you "do" really doesn't mean much; what you are is what matters. Arrogance is born when you identify with what you do.

Saw it last night and it was a great movie.
Slanted a little bit toward an older audience, quite "politically incorrect"
The scene where he takes his the neighbor boy to the barbershop is just classic, I laughed and laughed !!
