Was that something they heard or something they saw? There was a lot of confusion that day and probably even more in the dark of night. Plus, much of the reporting over the next couple days or so seemed to rely as much on drawn conclusions and speculation — particularly as regards his motivations — as it did information.

This isn't about how Jewell got screwed, this is a propaganda piece to prop up Trump's fake news, deep state conspiracy theories and christofascist newspeak.

Really, don't get me started on that, OR his fame mongering widow.

I sent her book back to McNaughton, too. Her book was SUPPOSED to be non-fiction, but I think most things in her life now are fiction, including her marriage.

At least she's stopped parading around her kids at every local event playing the widow.

I think Eastwood is one of those people who has a slice of his brain missing. He has obvious talents, and he'll be tootling along and then whatever's going down in his head comes to an enormous, bottomless chasm. It's pretty narrow, but it is really, really deep and sheer. So, the thoughts or whatever jump, but they never make it.

That's the scientific neurological part of my analysis, stuff inside what scientists call "the noggin."

On the outside, Eastwood is yelling or chairs or some crazy ass shit.

The thing about him was that he never acted in any of his films. He simply growled someone else's lines as if he were taking a painful dump after ass surgery.

Seeing as he was such a dreadful actor, I've never even considered his directorial efforts.

Clint Eastwood is the Ted Nugent of Paul Verhoevens.

Play Misty For Me is about the only movie I can tolerate watching.

Olivia Wilde, who plays Scruggs, is apparently an idiot and has missed the point entirely.

“But what I resented was this character being boiled down to one inferred scene and I don’t hear anyone complaining about Jon Hamm’s character as being inferred that he also had a relationship with a reporter. It feels unfair that Kathy has been minimized in this way.

“I think that we are still struggling with allowing for female characters who aren’t entirely quote-unquote likable. If there’s anything slightly questionable about a female character, we often use that in relation to condemn that character or to condemn the project for allowing for a woman to be impure in a way. It’s a misunderstanding of feminism to assume that all women have to be sexless. I resent the character being minimized to that point.”

Yes, he leaped into action AFTER FINDING A BACKPACK WITH A BOMB IN IT! So suspicious.

The only movie he is in that I will watch that he is in is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

IK,R? I mean never in real life did I get any actionable intelligence or a good story by fucking anyone. Besides, I'm too short to be noticed by a Jon Hamm type although I have met a few FBI agents in less than full dress (professionally, albeit)

Nice, an Amurkan souvenir, like a coronation mug in the UK.
