Another good Eastwood movie for me.
Anyone else like it?

I think I'm looking forward to seeing this.

I want to see it solely so I can see Clint Eastwood say "Damn kids, Get off my lawn!"

I don't go to movies anymore, but I might for this one.

I was disappointed. The previews made the movie look WAY more dark and badass than it really was. I was expecting a stressful story of this tough guy old man laying the smack down on thugs left and right. Instead I get something that starts with promise, drags for an hour and a half, then has about 10 more minutes of promise, then ends.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything like what I was expecting. If they would have sold it as what it was, I'd have been happier with it. Instead they made me expect something else.

Nothing to see here, move along.

i think a ; would work betteer

This is one of the best movies ever. Completely racist and profane and awesome. I wish I had extra arms and hands so I can give it more thumbs up. I laughed more during this movie than any of the "funny" movies in recent memory.

I think a capital "I" at the beginning of your sentence would work better.

It's like a kitchen in here with all the pots and kettles!

I saw this preview before Valkyrie and it looks interesting. I wanna see it.

It was a great film, my only problem is using actual Hmong actors, which while I respect the choice by Eastwood, it really brought down the acting of the film.

I really liked it. More than I expected I would, even. Also, that's what I want to be like when I grow up. Mean and grumpy while levelheaded and self-reliant, I mean, not haunted by my past and neglect of family... :P

You don't wanna be like that. I know someone who's like that right now, and he's a miserable jerk.

My favorite part was the joke about the three guys in the bar.

Hahaha, winner!

I do want to see this though... probably will wait for a DVD release though.

Haha I lied, went tonight.

I liked it more as a comedy than a drama though. As a comedy, Clint Eastwood running around being pissed off was hilarious. As a drama though? I'm not sure. I kind of felt like it was all over the place

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie with my girlfriend. Would not watch it without her to distract me during the 'relationship' parts.

Also, great drinking game : Take a drink whenever Clint uses a racial slur.
2009-01-13, 8:42 PM #25
Then you really would kill yourself drinking.

I went with about 30 people, every one of us loved it. Great movie.
Think while it's still legal.
