Academy to Clint: Get Lost!
Warner Bros.
Are Angelina's giant lips the kiss of death? We say so. Clint Eastwood's only presence at this month's awards will be Ms. Jolie for Changeling, an overdramatic performance that loudly seeks compensation for her Mighty Heart snub the year before. And if there's one force that can pull attention away from everyone or anything else, it's Angie.
Too bad, too, since Clint's Gran Torino was, we dare say, his best flick in the last few years. It's like Dirty Harry was still alive and had moved to the Jersey 'burbs. Truly ironic and riveting stuff. Clint did a helluva better job resurrecting an old personality than Spielberg did with Grandpa Indy, that's fer sure.
Plus, in only two months, the flick's made more than $100 mil and counting—that's like five Slumdog Millionaire's. It's practically Spider-Man money. Looked like everyone was paying attention to the film—everyone except any Academy voters.
So what's up with the major snub? Are the Oscars just not that into Eastwood anymore? Will he have a chance at next year's nomination process, as has been whispered?
Does Badass Run in the Eastwood Family?
Warner Bros.
Congrats to Clint Eastwood for being No. 1 at the box office last week with Gran Torino at such a damn competitive movie time. Old guy still has it.
Must say we didn't quite understand what the appeal was from previews, but after seeing it, it's so vintage Eastwood that it's too fab. One thing that many folks didn't catch was that his son, Scott Eastwood, makes an appearance.
It's basically the only young white guy in the flick, so you can't really miss it. The scene is effin' hilarious if you know the relation, 'cause daddy Eastwood calls Scott p--sy this, p--sy that and much more that we can't type here.
