    Gran Torino

    Boy's I took the wife to see this movie and it's all that and a bag of chips. It's classic Eastwood but maybe not what you think. I won't ruin it for you, but it's a must see, he says some things in this movie that totally broke me up. I almost blew Sprite out my nose a couple of times. My wife said after the movie, ''You realize that's you at 75 right?'' I responded '' And proud of it!!! ''

    That's the reason I don't want to see that one, I've already heard about it. Never will forget how I felt as a kid when they shot Ole Yeller, if that one didn't get ya, then you got no soul.

    Chuck you will love this movie. When you watch it think about what my wife said to me and tell me she ain't right. Wait a minute it will apply to you to, LOL. I told her don't worry I'll never see no dang 75, be lucky to make 60.

    Talking about Clint being 75, I think he's really 78, and check this out all our heroes we grew up with are getting old. Sean Connery 78, Al Pacino 68, Robert Deniro 64. What's up with that 007 80 years old and Scarface 70, man were all getting old.

    Ain't that the truth. Only one we got in Movie business now with a spine is Tom Hanks, Tom Selleck, serious gunowner by the way and hates Rosie Odonnell you gotta love that. I mean Brad Pitt, and some of these other liberal weiners make me want to vomit. Yes Trophy I knew Clint's age I was only quoting my lovely bride about her comment on me.

    This would make a nice topic for us to debate, who has a set amongst the actors in Hollywood?
