Jinxed Universe

So call me old fashion, but I love Clint Eastwood. I remember growing up watching a ton of old Westerns with John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. His personality really comes through in his movies. I have only seen Dirty Harry on TV once, and I like seeing anything that he puts out that I can. Does he have some stinkers, yes! But, if you look at his movies as a whole, I like it.

Come on how can you not like a guy who talks like this;

"I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.”

"I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it."

"Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power."

And My Favorite.

"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum - the most powerful hand gun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question--Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk!"

A while ago I read an article where Spike Lee started a war of words with Clint Eastwood. Lee took issue with the lack of African-Americans cast in Eastwood's World War II films "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima," saying "Clint Eastwood made two films about Iwo Jima that ran for more than four hours total, and there was not one Negro actor on the screen."

Now Eastwood fired back and said, "I'm playing it the way I read it historically, and that's the way it is; a guy like him should shut his face."

Who wouldn't like this guy?
