and I know this thread is a little late and there was already a thread about this movie... but dang.

that was one good movie. Clint Eastwood is still a badass. this is evidenced by the part where he beat the crap out of that gangbanger, and i didn't even for a second think that it was unbelievable that an old man like him could do that.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Yeah its definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Hes like fricken 80 and is even more badass than he was 40 years ago. My favorite quote has to be when hes in his lawn and says "I stacked ****s like you five feet high in Korea."

I had never before heard the term 'spooks'. Needless to say when he drove up and said "What are you spooks up to??" I laughed.

Funny is funny. Even if it is a racist old man.

I only watched it recently myself and I thought it was excellent. Favourite badass Clint moment was when he fake-pulled a gun on the three guys harrassing Sue. Then pulled a real one

"Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while that you shouldn't have ****ed with? *spit* That's me."

Yessir, Mr. Eastwood, sir. Running away now, sir.

This movie also proves that manly men drink PBR when they are old and don't give a ****

Agreed. Clint Eastwood may be a great actor and a great director, but never put him in a recording studio. His soundtracks are alright, nothing special, but singing? Come on.

I think that every single movie with a male lead should star Clint Eastwood until he dies. It doesn't matter if he's playing a highschooler or an old man.

And every movie with a female lead should also star Clint Eastwood as her love interest.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

I thought it was lame as hell. The racial slurs just got old, redundant, and overused. I was expecting something more badass based on the previews for it. I paid for "No Country for Old Men" and I got "Driving Miss Daisy". I spent the whole movie *waiting* for it to start to get cool, and then it ended.

When I grow old, I want to be a badass like Clint Eastwood. I love how he took on all these gangsters (including that wannabe one) without fear.
