Gran Torino

[Connemara]

I was laughing pretty hard during some parts. When he confronts the African-American 'hoods, the one Asian gangster, etc. Clint to the white wannabe gangster: "Shut up, *****."

Just came back from watching it, and overall I enjoyed it. Eastwood played the role well.

Eastwood was awesome but the rest of the actors sucked. Apparently this was their first go at it. The whole movie had a low budget indie feel to it because of the terrible Hmong actors. Again, Eastwood was awesome.

Theres a short interview with Eastwood in this month's Esquire. He thinks a lot of people are pussies.

"I was high as giraffe *****"


I know I'm sleep-deprived but that is the funniest damn thing I've seen all day.

This movie looks absolutely terrible, IMO.

I really enjoyed this movie. But I am far removed from the politically correct so I find his character funny as hell.

I laughed ****** off so much during the movie I was getting looks from others in the audience. At the end they had Eastwood singing this song about his Gran Torino that just sent me over the top and I left laughing.

I had a great time and even my girlfriend commented on how much I was laughing.

I just wish my friend Menace would have been there. We share a somewhat warped sense of humor and we would have laughed even more with the 2 of us there.

Do you guys really like Tucker Max?

I don't think 'politically correct' is what bothers most people about this movie. Rather, that is so horrifically stereotypical and stupid.

Overall, I liked the movie. End was a bit predictable and the girl in the next door family clearly could not act. Indeed, Eastwood did really great acting in some scenes and the rest were in a high school production by comparison. that said, still fun - and funny as hell in a lot of places.

I really liked it, however when Eastwood first met the family it seemed very awkward. He was awesome in it.

"high as a hippie in a helicopter" is good, too, but I might try using "giraffe *****" once in a while.

To stay on track, I haven't seen GT yet but I'm a big Clint fan from way back and I'm thinking about violating my wait-till-it-comes-on-satellite policy.

I thought it was pretty good. Ol' piss and vinegar Clint! Yes, it wasn't the best written or acted movie I've seen him in but it was entertaining and pretty funny. The ended was disappointing, I really expected more. Clint singing in the end credit more than made up for that though!

I recommend watching it for free. The DVD screener is available on all torrent sites.

Liked the movie alright enough but would not recommend it to anybody. As for my man Clint, did anybody catch an interview a few years back where the journalist tried asking him about his many kids? Clint's face just switched on the poor fool and over the next minute I witnessed the most intimidating/menacing expression and tone as he made it clear the line of questioning should be changed. I'm sure the interviewer pretty much **** his pants on the spot.

Really enjoyed it. Redemption with a sledgehammer, but excellent nonetheless. I liked the Korean family more than others here.
