Clint Eastwood, who is about to celebrate his 95th birthday, criticized Hollywood for its lack of originality while also revealing he’s already in pre-production on his next film.This Substack is reader-supported.
Clint is an icon. In H-wood, that carries far deeper shades than we'd like.
As for his movies, his spaghetti westerns were truly good. But his own movies insert the cliche use of Jesus as an expletive, such as Unforgiven - an otherwise good story.
That ruins it, however, because that usage of "Jesus" did not come to be pushed until the early 1960s.
Deep reference from autobiographies and historical source material suggest the absolute worst profanity ever heard (1864 timeframe) was "God damn you, you son of a bitch." So stunning as to leave people speechless.
Clint is an absolute legend. Even in his 90s I have more faith that he will deliver something worth watching than most of Hollywood.
I thought JUROR #2 was very good. Sprawling cast, unexpected narrative, powerhouse finish.
Most definitely one of God's precious gifts to us, a true spoken man, just like Dirty Harry
