"Bowlers have BIG balls!"

"Go ahead, punk, make my day."

quote:
Clint Eastwood folds his gangly frame behind a clifftop table at the Hotel Du Cap, a few miles up the coast from Cannes, sighs deeply, and squints out over the Mediterranean. "Has he ever studied the history?" he asks, in that familiar near-whisper.


quote:
Eastwood has no time for Lee's gripes. "He was complaining when I did Bird [the 1988 biopic of Charlie Parker]. Why would a white guy be doing that? I was the only guy who made it, that's why. He could have gone ahead and made it. Instead he was making something else." As for Flags of Our Fathers, he says, yes, there was a small detachment of black troops on Iwo Jima as a part of a munitions company, "but they didn't raise the flag. The story is Flags of Our Fathers, the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn't do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people'd go, 'This guy's lost his mind.' I mean, it's not accurate."


quote:
Eastwood pauses, deliberately - once it would have provided him with the beat in which to spit out his cheroot before flinging back his poncho - and offers a last word of advice to the most influential black director in American movies. "A guy like him should shut his face."

I would have prefered "Go ahead punk, make my day". More fitting the person because Spike Lee is only a punk.

I'm glad he said something back... but I can just see it now, "Eastwood labeled Bigot for Calling Spike Lee Illiterate"...

Sorry, no, Eastwood has Class, and did this right.

I don't think that Clint gives a rat's rump what Spike lee says or does.

"you just shot an unarmed man!"

"he should have armed himself."

You tell em Harry!

That's why I used "I" and not "It" because it was "my" opinion.
