Gran Torino

All the reports coming out about the newest Clint Eastwood starring Clint Eastwood film indicate that Clint will be stretching himself and playing a guy that everyone thinks is mean, likes guns, and likes cars. Asked how he is able to keep stretching himself at the old age of 78, Clint ripped the interviewer's heart right out of his chest. Over the phone. The moral of the story is don't fuck with Clint. The movie sounds like one of those typical movies that would suck if someone normal was making it, luckily we have an all time legend at the helm so it will probably avoid the typical sap and bad acting that plagues these stories:

His Gran Torino character is Walt Kowalski, a racist Korean War veteran whose prized possession is a classic car that catches the eye of local gangs in his Detroit neighborhood. One of the troubled kids who covets the vehicle is from a family of Hmong immigrant neighbors, whom Kowalski has long resented.

...."The young kid, as part of a gang initiation, tries to steal it, and the old guy gets him at the end of the M-1, which becomes kind of a big deal," Eastwood says. "The kid has to do penance because of the pride of the Asian group. They make him do penance. He has to come over, and the old guy doesn't want anything to do with him, doesn't want him anywhere around."

Joking aside Clint hasn't made anything besides unbelievably great stuff for a long time. While reading up on the new movie I found out he hasn't acted in a film he hasn't directed in 15 years. How awesome is that? He pretty much decided he was done with ever having people tell him what to do. You know, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel of a motorized vehicle, old people really can serve a purpose. Don't believe me, check out this kickass PSA below:
