But this stuff has been goin on since agriclture practically. Before (((them))) before anything. There have been rich assholes who have been trying to come up with ways to get rid of "excess" poor people.

true

its just now they have a billion ways to do that

So it's just the same game, but with escalating stakes.

and want to do it to every one

Oh that remind me. I'm gonna go 30 year old boomer on the 30 year old boomer meme.

Because it has a predecessor meme. That I thought was better.

As to my boomer status. This is the only one that comes close to describing me. And that's only because I got lucky by my own admission.

I'm pretty sure Eastwood was adlibbing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rcIJIWqYmo

For the whole Dirty Harry series, Eastwood was producing the films himself under Malpaso Productions

It's sad his son can't get much in the way of acting work. So little that it's impossible to tell if he's even got the chops.

Oh, and look who didn't get #metoo'd Eastwood.

Guys a national treasure.

I remember seeing the junior Eastwood in PacRim2, which really didn't give him much to work with. I think he'll come into his own. His old man didn't start off with exactly what you'd call classics either.

The "Any Which Way" series springs to mind

Isn't any which way after Dirty Hairy?

or at least the first one?

Is it? Could have sworn it was before

Dirty hairy was 71, every which way was 78

I'll be damned

But yeah, Jr. needs to find his own "Spaghetti Westerns" to star in.

Oh, he could totally be the white guy that stars in a few Chinese action movies. Like that silly great wall move that matt damon starred in.

Except you know, more hardass and serious.

I haven't seen him in any Malpaso productions I can think of. The old man probably wants him to strike out on his own to make his name like he had to.

Scratch that, he was in Flags of Our Fathers

Which was directed and produced by Eastwood

He's still six years younger than Clint was when he had his big break on Rawhide.

The kid has time, and he has been steadily getting himself out there more. He just really needs a project where he can be front and center.

I just hope he doesn't go all "I hate you, dad!" Hollywood liberal.

lol nahh

Apparently the white kid in this scene is played by him, which if true....
OOF

In my head the true title of Gran Torino is "Grumpy Old Man Plays a Grumpy Old Man"
