Tightrope was a good film . It was a mix between Hardcore and Cruising. Very atypical for Eastwood.

Hopefully Axl has finally figured out the lyrics for Quick Song.

I watched All That Jazz not long ago. And holy Christ, Bob Fosse was on his way to being the greatest American film director of his era. Star 80, Lenny, Jazz, what a tragedy.

There’s also a trend of straight dudes identifying as queer. Or “non-binary lesbians” This is bizarro world.
Also, there’s no such thing as a male feminist. These guys are just walking talking sympathy fucks.

Indecent Proposal Is Adrian Lyne’s worst film.
Yes I'd almost forgot about that movie but I remember it was good. I can't imagine Hollywood didn't want him for projects and for whatever reason he didn't do much of that at all. Part of the appeal with a Clint Eastwood movie, they always feel a tad different from the big studio productions yet delivers a similar level of brilliance you don't find in most independent efforts.
I guess it makes sense for a guy like Clint to be turned off by the Hollywood environment but I don't know if that's the reason he kept away from it. Maybe he just wanted to do his own thing.
He had an awful run in the 90s with a few films that he starred and directed, one where he was a thief who caught the president murdering a woman, and one where he was s former cop with a heart transplant after a serial killer. I think another where he was a reporter trying to get someone off death row. If it weren’t for Space Cowboys I don’t think he could have made another film. He was box office poison.

Just saw Unhinged.
Russel is another one of my favorite actors. Always had massive respect for both his movie star persona and his acting skills. Obviously I didn't expect to see anything ground breaking in a movie like this but the dude kinda impresses me here. He sells the role completely and I'm left wondering who else in Hollywood could pull this off? Most of the hot shot actors today can forget about it. Leo couldn't do it, maybe. Bale even less so. Tom Cruise? Nah, he would channel is Collateral character I think.
As a movie though it is just okay. They really needed a strong name actress here to pull off all those intense emotional scenes. Emily Blunt would have been perfect. The script it pretty good, the director less so. Lack of directing talent these days in Hollywood. The ending was pretty terrible. You can't have a cliched happy ending in this movie because there's no way you can bring yourself to hate Russel Crowe. He's the reason you are watching the movie in the first place, because you want to see him. He's gotta win somehow.
Talking about Clint, do we know why he basically always did independent movies? He's the only major name in Hollywood I can think of that basically never did a Hollywood movie.
In the Line of Fire was a Hollywood film, and it was fantastic. It’s about the only one I can think of. It’s definitely a Harrison Ford type of action film.

This was my argument from the start. You cannot justify switching genders if you can't justify switching races.
There's nothing wrong with being trans. I'll call you she/her. But a trans woman is not a woman. A trans woman is a trans woman. Soon the word trans will be offensive.
There was a trans woman on Twitter who was complaining of period pain. All the progressive women were supporting her, liking her tweets... The "terf" trans people were calling her an idiot and that she just had gas. Progressives are enabling this shit.

I don’t think anyone confuses you for a conservative, but I think you’re far closer to a centrist (like us) than you’d ever like to admit. Definitely as a business owner, being in a higher tax bracket, and you’re slow evolution on things like trans/social stuff. I don’t believe for a second you’re the Bernie Bro you think you are. You’re almost there, Mitch! You’ll be watching Tucker Carlson in no time.

I think Jackie Brown is QTs greatest film. I love the guy, I think he’s the best director today, but his films now carry a level of absurdity. Jackie didn’t. It was a great gangster film.

We all saw this coming.
At some point someone needs to tell these people no.
