There's quite a range there. We had a liberal Republican governor in Washington state. What was Clint doing talking to that chair at the Republican convention?

Is that a remake of the old BBC parliament drama? That was good I remember but
we Brits do political double-dealing and intrigue like no one else could.
I've seen the original and feel that it was better than the recent American
remake. The US version was good (and in some ways better) during the first
season and the first episode of the second, but has gone downhill since then
IMO.
On the subject of TM directors though, I think David Lynch is another one they
should avoid shouting about. It's one of those ironies that no one else seems
to have noticed amid all the flag waving, but his career has got more mediocre
the longer he meditates.
I completely agree, and would say that even if he didn't do TM. IMO he started
by appealing to film critics' tendency to favorably review things they can't
understand, mistaking them for profundity. But then he got caught by it, and
now can't make anything BUT weird movies. I've never felt that he actually had
anything to say in one of his own films (as opposed to those he made of other
people's stories, like Dune).
TM seems to be sucking the creativity out of him in direct proportion to the
amount of time he spends going on about how inspiring it is. Did you see Inland
Empire? Seriously don't bother unless two hours of completely meaningless
pretention is your thing. Which is a shame as surrealism could be a useful
technique to say something about the human condition, get some sort Freudian
symbolism in there to give it a purpose. But Lynch is happy to just film
unrelated but odd things and let us decide for ourselves what it means to us (I
got that from the extras on the DVD). I don't call it creative, I call it lazy.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Birdman director is TMer
Clint is well-known in the industry as a filmmaker whose projects never go a
day over schedule or a dollar over budget. That, plus his name recognition,
keeps the projects flowing in.
Suffice it to say that I didn't like American Sniper very much, mainly
because the senility he displayed while talking to a chair during the
Republican convention seems to have eroded his sensibilities such that he
doesn't even know (or care) when he's making a propaganda film any more. But on
the level of the filmmaker it's Just Another Bad Movie...what is shocking about
American Sniper is how many people saw it and were taken in by it. America is
*officially* dumbed down now.
As for Birdman, as I said I give it credit for inventiveness, especially in
the cinematography and the editing. The cinematographer deserved his Oscar and
the editor should have been nominated for one, because they managed to make it
appear as if the film were one long tracking shot, *including* sections in
which one of the characters flies around in the air. That was pretty cool. And
there were good performances by Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Edward Norton, and
Naomi Watts.
But the characters themselves, and the *point* of the movie, if it had one? To
me it was non-stop narcissism. A fading star, mostly remembered for his roles
in a superhero movie franchise, tries to resuscitate his career and get some
attention by staging a Raymond Carver story as a play on Broadway. Thus it's
100% an Ego Story on the part of the in-the-film director, and possibly reveals
similar obsessions on the part of the director himself.
I took an FFL approach to watching it -- Take what you need and leave the

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Birdman director is TMer
Apparently you don't read the news either. What does it take you dumb shits to read a page at Wikipedia? Go figure. Eastwood has described himself as a libertarian' - he was opposed to the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. He is in favor of gun control and voted for democrat Dianne Feinstein in 1994. According to what I've read, Eastwood is a self-professed liberal on civil rights and has endorsed same-sex marriage and contributed to groups supporting the Equal Rights Amendment for women. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Eastwood#Politics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Eastwood#Politics ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : Despite being a Hollywood Republican, Clint contends that The Sniper is an anti-war film.

Of course what do the words Hollywood Republican mean? A conservative, middle-of-the-road or liberal Republican. There's quite a range there. We had a liberal Republican governor in Washington state. Eastwood said he has always opposed war, and is a pragmatic libertarian rather than a right-wing Republican. Apparently Eastwood was a was a social liberal and fiscal conservative before it became fashionable. Go figure. What was Clint doing talking to that chair at the Republican convention? According to Eastwood, commenting on President Obama I think he's a nice fella and I enjoyed watching him come along and I enjoyed watching him campaign and win the job. But I'm not a fan of what he's doing at the moment. ... I just don't think he's governing. I don't think he's surrounded himself with the people he could have surrounded himself with.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Birdman director is TMer
I'm not sure owning a 1972 Ford Maverick is comparable to owning a 1972 Ford Gran Torino, and I've seen no evidence your Dad served in the Korean conflict. Correct me if I'm mistaken about this.
