Re: [MOPO] Please stop giving away plot twists for newly released films!
David, I couldn't agree with you more. I was also offended when Frank Rich wrote that Passion of the Christ's nomination for make-up was for big noses. How low does he have to go to get attention? Obviously very low. I loved Million Dollar Baby and just tell people to go see it. Whatever one hears about it they cannot help but be moved by this impressive film. I'm glad Clint also got nominated for best actor. Toochis --- David Kusumoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What really makes these critics hate Million Dollar Baby is not its supposedly radical politics - which are nonexistent - but its lack of sentimentality. I don't know what the hell Frank Rich is talking about here. My wife and I cried our eyes out when we watched Million Dollar Baby, and it's my pick (along with Sideways) as the Best Picture of 2004. The Aviator is more old fashioned, has more nominations, is more handsomely produced, but doesn't emotionally connect with most audiences. (And I'm angry Scorcese decided against tacking on a text post-script about the fate of Howard Hughes, as he did with great success in Goodfellas, his last truly great picture which DID deserve the Best Picture Oscar over the p.c. Dances with Wolves.) The Frank Rich column Kirby cites is one of Mr. Rich's better efforts. --- *** But I hate the fact that Rich on the left and others on the right have chosen to spoil the plot twist of one of Eastwood's finest films. Moreover, because he works for the left leaning, hasn't-endorsed-a-Republican-candidate-for-President in more than 50 years New York Times (but still the most historically important paper in the United States) -- Rich has elevated the so-called controversy against Million Dollar Baby -- to a level of legitimacy and attention that I think most movie lovers can do without. He just threw kerosene on a dimly lit fire, since I don't believe most who are paying to see Million Dollar Baby -- either know about the pseudo-controversy -- and if they did, don't give two s***s about it. In my view, Frank Rich, a failure as an op-ed columnist for the New York Times, has been an equal failure ever since he was pushed into that paper's Sunday's Arts and Leisure section. Every week, he incessantly use any arts related subject as a launching pad to write Maureen Dowd-like diatribes against the ultra-right (but without Dowd's fabulous sense of humor, her gift for satire and without her Pulitzer). He's a Maureen Dowd wannabe, which is why everything he writes for Sunday Arts MUST be connected to left and right wing politics. --- The sad thing is Mr. Rich is a genuine arts scholar but has none of the wit and subtlety for language that, let's say, his NY Times colleagues have, such as critics Ben Brantley or A.O. Scott. He only wants to write about politics. So he's stuck at Arts and Leisure, taking every subject about theater and film and connecting-his-dots back to the White House or to right wing wackos. His abandonment of Michael Moore after he cleaned up his wardrobe is as embarrassing as his endorsement of Fahrenheit 9/11, a masterpiece of partisan entertainment, but a documentary it was not. Clint Eastwood was already an an icon and a legend before he became a GREAT director. His politics here in California are truly, as Mr. Rich correctly notes, hard to pin down. He doesn't need Frank Rich's help to raise the impression that he's an underdog, now a Commie, or to prove his theories correct about the heinous ultra-right. I will bet that Mr. Eastwood, the class act he is, didn't understand the big deal about his film until he picked up the phone and took Mr. Rich's kiss-a** questions. If Million Dollar Baby wins Best Picture, I can already see Mr. Rich writing his next column about how Eastwood's victory represents a triumph over the evil right. The fact is, the storm over Baby is nothing compared to what we saw in 2004 with Gibson's Passion and with Moore's Fahrenheit. If Eastwood wins, I wanna believe that even in left-leaning Hollywood, it's because he did a great job directing a fine story, not because of any noise being made by wackos of any stripe, be they red or blue. --- Giving away a plot twist in a film that much of America still hasn't seen -- is the worst thing anyone, whether they're on the radio or in print -- can do. So shame on both sides of this non-issue for ruining movies for the rest of us. -d.

[MOPO] READ ONLY if YOU LOVE CLINT
Well lookee here: I just found, buried on page three of the BACK section of today's Arts Leisure -- a BETTER story about Clint -- appearing in print, in the same paper, on the same day. If it had been up to me, I would've put David Carr's story below about Clint on the front page and pushed Frank Rich into some corner where nobody would notice. After reading this, you will love Clint more. -d. -- NEW YORK TIMES February 13, 2005 Clint Eastwood, Still Fighting for the Green Light By DAVID CARR BURBANK, Calif. -- FIVE times in a dozen years, Clint Eastwood, director, has given Warner Brothers, a studio otherwise short on Oscar winners, a ticket to the Academy Awards. He directed a best picture, Unforgiven, in 1993 and two years ago delivered a best picture nominee, Mystic River. Meryl Streep received an acting nomination for his Bridges of Madison County, a 1995 Warner film. Even Space Cowboys, the old-guy space romp he made for the studio in 2000, picked up a nomination for its sound effects. But the green light still doesn't come easy for a 74-year-old pro who has called the Warner lot his professional home since 1975, and has now produced, directed and/or starred in some 30 pictures for the company since Dirty Harry in 1971. When Mr. Eastwood proposed his Million Dollar Baby, the studio balked, citing audience aversion to boxing pictures, just as it had first turned down Mystic River, a crime-and-friendship story that was first deemed too dark. Warner executives only budged when an outside financier, Lakeshore Entertainment, agreed to share the cost. In the shadow of a large sign boasting of the picture's seven Academy Award nominations, including best picture and best director, the studio president, Alan F. Horn, is more than happy to eat some crow. If I were sitting here talking about how I let 'Million Dollar Baby' go to another studio, I would be more than chagrined, he said. In retrospect, his instincts were right, stunningly right. At the end of the day, and sometimes these are very long days, we did the pictures. Never simple, often tested, sometimes downright tense, the marriage between Mr. Eastwood and his home studio has ultimately proved to be an astonishingly productive relationship in an industry that defines a three-year contract as a long-term deal. To Warner, the aging Mr. Eastwood - who started in Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns and became embedded in American consciousness as Dirty Harry - has brought unexpected cachet, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue over the years. The actor-turned-filmmaker and Warner have not always been on the same page of the script. But with the kind of bumps and pushback one comes to expect from a lifelong mate, the partnership has somehow wrung the best from a blue-collar auteur who, well into his 70's, makes good to great movies with the constancy of a factory worker. Asked about Warner's reluctance over Million Dollar Baby, Mr. Eastwood sounded crusty but not bitter. I explained to them that it wasn't a boxing movie, it was a love story, he said, but I must say, other studios had the same opinion, although many of them had expressed interest in working with me. I told them, 'Hey, I'm not the kind that looks good in tights or can play a superhero,' and if they don't want to do this, and they don't want to do dramas, why are they even in the movie business? By and large, the Warner-Eastwood relationship operates on a handshake. Mr. Eastwood has no overriding contractual commitment to the studio, but works picture by picture, and will do his next, Flags of Our Fathers, for DreamWorks SKG, with some Warner backing. (DreamWorks owns the rights to the story.) But the comfort of Mr. Eastwood's connection to Warner's sprawling Burbank lot was apparent in a recent visit to Mr. Eastwood's office on the lot, the bungalow once used by Harry Warner and now home to the filmmaker's Malpaso Productions, even amid the slight buzz of Oscar electricity. His wife, Dina Ruiz Eastwood, stopped in and quietly giggled with the staff about what clothing and jewelry she would wear to the Oscars while Mr. Eastwood took press calls in his office. She turned down the $10,000 loaner watch in favor of her own $60 watch that keeps time just fine: understatement is one of the cornerstones of the Eastwood franchise. After a few minutes, Mr. Eastwood emerged from his office in the back of the bungalow and his wife asked him if she should pick up anything at the market. Let me see - Viagra, Levitra and, yeah, some Cialis, he deadpanned to shrieks of laughter from the staff and Ms. Eastwood. He can make that kind of joke, not just because he has seven children, including an 8-year-old daughter, but also because he is not given to anxiety over his image. He has no press agent. At a certain point, you are who you are, he said, smiling. As an actor and a director, he has conjured up many men who seem imprisoned by regret, but he seemingly has none. Mr.

Re: [MOPO] Good 'ol Clint...
Hi David, I couldn't agree more about Clint being a great artist. He only gets better and continues to astonish me. My prayer is to work with him someday. I do have to say that when I was in the theatre in my teen years in NY, many people wanted to kill Frank Rich. For some reason, he didn't just slam with his harsh criticism but managed to really slam people in a personal way. I remember attending the opening of a Broadway show of a well-respected playwright. The show was great but afterwards at the party when the reviews were read, Frank Rich's was particularly scathing. The playwright wanted to know who was close enough to Mr. Rich so he could have him poisoned. I was in a show that Mr. Rich destroyed, but he was very kind to me in the review. I have nothing personal against him. He's been great to me, but I know the ire Mr. Rich draws. Toochis --- David Kusumoto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Toochis: In fairness, the hatred between Frank Rich and Mel Gibson is mutual, and it started when Rich accused Gibson of anti-semitism and brought Mel's father into the discussion as a Holocaust-denier. It escalated when Gibson made a death threat against Rich in an interview w/the New Yorker. But as far as Clint getting nominated for Best Actor -- I was also happy. Though everyone says Jamie Foxx is a slam dunk in this category, it's nice to see Clint get nominated because in Million Dollar Baby, it's the first time I've seen Clint showing a decent amount of range. Clint reminds me of those great actors who always play themselves and audiences don't care. John Wayne always played John Wayne, Woody Allen always plays Woody Allen and Cary Grant, the best example, always played Cary Grant. Of the three, Cary Grant NEVER won an Oscar except a special statue long after he retired. Clint always plays Clint and we don't care. But in Baby, his acting had my wife in tears. He's tremendous; and in any other year, he might be the favorite to win an acting Oscar. But who knows? Clint already has 2 statues for Unforgiven (and I like Million Dollar Baby a lot more), and John Wayne had to wait until 1970, 8 years before his death, when he won Best Actor for 1969's True Grit. The huge difference is that Clint has proven himself a great artist, perhaps underrated, as an independent producer dating back to the early 1970s with his still running Malpaso company. I love the guy even though he's going up against another maverick I adore, Martin Scorcese. The problem with Scorcese and Oscar is his material is rarely mainstream. And if and when Scorcese wins, I want it to be because of merit, not sentiment. It still pains me that Al Pacino got his Oscar, for example, for Scent of a Woman, and not for his Godfather pictures, Serpico or Dog Day Afternoon. I can't even watch Pacino in that film, anymore than I can watch Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. (Though Dustin was the best thing in Meet the Fockers; he'll always find work.) Anyway, more than anyone wanted to hear from me; sorry; it's been a while. -d.

Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 01:33:55 -0800 David, I couldn't agree with you more. I was also offended when Frank Rich wrote that Passion of the Christ's nomination for make-up was for big noses. How low does he have to go to get attention? Obviously very low. I loved Million Dollar Baby and just tell people to go see it. Whatever one hears about it they cannot help but be moved by this impressive film. I'm glad Clint also got nominated for best actor.
