The Cozy Corner

[Nylonian]

Was your neighbor Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino by chance?

One of my favourite movies of all time.

 

[Nylonian]

Clint Eastwood (also my favourite actor along with Daniel Day Lewis) and I are birthday twins. Same Birthday as Phillipa Soo (she's also half Asian like me, so that's cool) from Hamilton. That's the day when all the cool people are born.

Might be why they don’t make them anymore

Obviously you have never been for a ride in a 442

Best Clint film is clearly Unforgiven.

I'm an old lady and I don't keep a notebook like some people.

If I had a notebook I would forget where I left it.

Dirty Harry? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?

Any Which Way...

Dirty Harry? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly?

Both good and he has a brilliant body of work but Unforgiven is chef's kiss.

He directed it as well.

Fair enough. I honestly can't pick a fav.

Also fair. I actually think Clint is underrated by a lot of people.

Outlaw Josey Wales for me

100%. He's absolutely underrated. I guess it's because he's got range but a lot of his movies are Westerns which might not be everyone's cup of tea so the casual audience (unless they like Westerns) have probably never seen his full body of work.

He's made some duds but any actor active as long as him will have done.

But he's been in so many classics.

My husband "forced" us to watch The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly when my daughter was only 2 years old. By the end of the movie, she had little hearts in her eyes for Blondie!

I can't think of Clint Eastwood without thinking of my dad. Western, Dirty Harry, anything. He's the biggest fan.

What about Western adjacent things like Westworld? I wasn't expecting to like it that much but that show was fantastic (the first two seasons anyway).

I just couldn't get into it. I wanted to like it but it never did it for me.

Red Dead Redemption games. Brilliant western stories in those.

Yeah, one of my favorites will always be pale rider.
