Gran Torino

Post by mrgnu1958 »

Me and the lovely scotty went to see Clint in action last night up Lakeside.
Film id give 8/10.
But even better we were in GOLD CLASS :D
Great big seats and we had the place to ourselves.
£10 each was a bit steep i thought at 1st,but when i saw what seats Gold class were,im going again.
Damned united here i come.
I LOVE A BIT OF CLINT. :barscarf:

Not many people know this.

Clint got his stage name from a railway station.

East Clintwood.

American legend!

This movie was pretty good, saw it a few months ago here. Wasnt his best work directing like Mystic River or Million Dollar Baby but it was pretty good. I love the racial slurs coming from his mouth though, cracked me up everytime.

Oh, I've got one. A Mexican, a Jew, and a colored guy go into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Get the fuck out of here."

Get me another beer, Dragon Lady! This one's running on empty.

Yea? I blow a hole in your face and then I go in the house... and I sleep like a baby. You can count on that. We used to stack fucks like you five feet high in Korea... use you for sandbags.


I'm no hero. I was just trying to get that babbling gook off my lawn!

He probably is all of those which is why it's hilarious watching him get to express his true feelings on screen under the protection of "its a movie."

killing deer, not a bad thing they are very overpopulated here. i've hit 2 of them and they do a fuckload of damage to your car.

bears, i agree very uncool.
