Clint Eastwood's J Edgar Hoover Biopic

[Kr]

Thoughts? Eastwood is quite the director, and I think DiCaprio's title as today's highest paid actor is well deserved.

I enjoyed De Niro's The Good Shepherd, a film about the founding of the CIA, so I'm interested in how the two films will paint a picture of the progression of intelligence services in the US.

I met J. Edgar Hoover one time. My grandfather was a bigwig in the US Department of Justice in Washington, and when the family went to Washington on vacation with grandma, when I was about 13 or so, we got an insider's tour of the old FBI building by our own personal FBI agent. Saw all the cool stuff the tourists don't get to see, and even got to shoot a .45 Thompson submachine gun in the basement firing range.

We had a personal meeting with J. Edgar as well, and somewhere I've got a photo of me with him.

His office was cool, because in the outer office he had a display of all sorts of neato spy gadgetry, including pen-cameras, microdots and other stuff the FBI had seized or used during the Cold War.

Don't remember much about the man other than he seemed nice and a bit avuncular and not at all cold or scary. He was quite nice to my grandmother, and you could tell that they had known each other fairly well through the Washington social scene back in the 50's.

I'll see if I can find the photo.

Sorry for ruffling your feathers.

Don't mind me. I'm just disappointed that I won't get to see Leonardo DiCaprio in a dress.

He's already played his obligatory gay role.
