New Clint Eastwood ProjectSSSS!

[grandpa_chum]

this is probably the most I've been excited for a newly released movie since... well... ever!... and it's a double-dose... Hearing that Eastwood was going to direct a war movie was enough, but about iwo jima, and now I realize he just started filming Part Two, called 'red sun, black sand'... iwo jima from the japanese point of view... First off I don't know how long it's been since there was a war epic being done by a big time director... the last two were small hit and big miss... private ryan being a small hit in my eyes and the thin red line being maybe the worst movie I've ever seen, definitely worst war movie... I also dont know if two completely different stories have been done about the same battle from each point of view... let alone in two different full length features by one of the greatest directors of all time, and one of the last people making hard hitting movies with class anymore... I couldn't me more excited for August and December.... anyone else nearly dropping dead at this news?

add de palma and scorsese both finally going back to old school crime films with super-casts and it should be a memorable fall/winter.... which is fantastic news considering how slow the first half of the year has been.

Glad to hear that Clints gonna make up for starring in the propaganda attrocity of Heartbreak Ridge.
