My ex practically salivated over Clint, the Sergio Leone films especially. :roll: Good GOD, the number of times I had to watch those films! :tearhair: EVERY time they were on TV. :banghead: AND he had a CD of the music that he listened to all the time. :lol:

The only things I really liked him in were Play Misty for Me and The Beguiled.

And I wouldn't. He's not my type. :ani:

I just watched the Beguiled the other night...great flick.

He's not my type and I wouldn't do him, but I do consider him to be a movie legend of sorts...some of his recent work as a director are pretty good too. Bridges of Madison County, Gran Torino, Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, The Changeling. I hate his politics though - ugh, he supported John McCain during the presidential election.

I watch all of the Sergio Leone films whenever I see them on TV. I also have the soundtrack to the good the bad and the ugly on my ipod.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

My husband and all of his friends have a man crush on this guy and I just don't see why. I mean, yea he looks tough and everything but the movies are really cheesy and predictable yet they can't get enough of them. I was just flipping through the channels when my husband yelled out, "SUDDEN IMPACT IS ON!! YEEESS!!" :? So I left the room and figured I'd give him a moment.

Is this just a guy thing? :think:
His appeal to me is extremely low. The posturing of him as a ruggedly individualist and vigilante in the Dirty Harry series put me right off Eastwood. The very peak of his reprehensible message was at the end of one of those movies, where he took justice in his own hand by executing a defeated and unarmed bad guy by shooting him with what looked like a whale harpoon. Redeeming feature: His direction of the film Flags of Our Fathers.

Likewise, my esteem for Mel Gibson took a huge dive when I found out about his religious and political views. It seems attraction depends at least as much on what is going on in a person's mind to me, if not more so than appearance and demeanour. That's why I feel incredibly lucky. My partner is tops in all those respects.
