Just watched "In the line of fire" for the first time.

It was full of misogyny, I hope Clint Eastwood gets canceled for taking such an offensive role.

 

[SensibleKeks]

Clint Eastwood is very problematic.

Clint Eastwood is very problematic.

Not PFG. Not PFG at all. I surely hope he doesn't have a movie where he is playing a grumpy old racist guy or something like that.

 

[guest]

Malkovich was great in that. Absolute Power is an underrated Clint movie. It's pretty formulaic but it's got Eastwood, Hackman and Ed Harris in it so

High Plains Drifter is great too and probably peak Clint misogyny

Didn't he rape a lady in that, but he's the protagonist?

Yep.

Spoiler alert - he's a ghost though so no forensics were left behind. Probably.

I must have fallen asleep 3/4 the way through because I don't remember that shit.

Maybe you were tired or drunk but the film does have a dreamlike, soporific quality. Not to say it's boring but I can see someone falling asleep to it. I'm like that with 2001: A Space Odyssey

I was probably tired, not drunk; if you had cable down here they'd play epics and Westerns on the movie channels, but late at night; as a teen I'd watch a shitload of them in a row and be done before midnight.

So basically because of cable I've watched Tombstone 20+ times, and free-to-air in the 90s was nothing but Bruce Willis movies: Die Hard, Death Becomes Her, The Fifth Element. I'd say we had it better back then.

If I am struggling sleeping that's the movie I put on to knock me right out. I have watched the movie almost 8 times by now but have no idea what happens after the first hour.
