      I'm actually watching Clint Eastwood

      I remember watching Star TV’s midnight sitcom "Two and a Half Men" in the past few years. The brothers Charlie and Allen and the latter’s son lived together. Charlie was a playboy, Allen was a chiropractor and a failed divorce. The writer lives in his brother Charlie’s luxury beachfront villa. Charlie has been making fun of Alan as a sissy and a loser. The mud can’t support the wall. Alan has always been uncomfortable. One day he sat in the living room and watched TV. Charlie came out to tease...

      Absolute power and absolute darkness

      There are many reasons to watch "Absolute Power": Clint Eastwood directed and acted by himself, and the cast includes Gene Hackman (Coppola's "Eavesdropping Conspiracy"), Ed Harris ("Brave Crush Death Island"), Laura Linni ("Trumen's World"), etc. These reasons are sufficient, but the film did not meet the huge expectations they produced together. At this time, I have to take a step back and say that watching those actors is a kind of enjoyment in itself. Moreover, the film is not terribly bad....

      Procrastinating satire

      I love the old man Clint Eastwood. I like his taciturn and humor from time to time, efficient filming techniques and calm and restrained shots. Maybe he is not top-notch in performance, and the director is really good, especially As he grows older, his creative power remains the same. It is impossible for a director to succeed in all departments, but because of his advanced age, he is not afraid that failure will affect his previous reputation, so he is willing to do more attempts. The body is...

      [Is the tough guy made by swelling? Overthrow the President of the United States by oneself]

      Dongmutou and Quentin were the ones who kept me focused. Classic tough guy movies, the edge will never fade with the old man's weakness. But the hard way is more varied and tender. Is it the same way people grow old? If you don't suffer from Alzheimer's disease, you are a hero!


      Everyone has basically seen Eastwood's early tough guy movies. In short, you can take "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" as a representative. However, the form of head-to-head work in later works has become...

      How can the president have any absolute power

      The title of the film is Absolute Power, but the president has no power in it. He can only call a few secret service bodyguards. SM is forced to be rejected. It always seems that the president can control only three people-chief of staff and two bodyguards. In the end, one was arrested, one was killed, and the other committed suicide. If you want to put it in a certain country, call the police, prosecutors, and law enforcement agencies, hand over notes, and send a special case team. Poor...

    • Seth Frank: Why does he bother to dig a slug out of the wall when he knows there's already another one stuck in her head?

      Laura Simon: Uh, different from the one in her body?

      Seth Frank: Two guns means two burglars. They broke in together, they both went out the window? That's bullshit! And by the way, why did he, or they, go out the window in the first place when he, or they, got in by breaking a zillion-dollar security system?

    • Repairman: Just part of my job.

      Seth Frank: I hate it when people say that. "Just part of my job." It *is* your fucking job.
