Clint Eastwood on Letterman

Sign in to disble this ad
Wow, talk about an American icon! He's older than Munji AND Thor and looks great and is funny. We all grew up on him and he totally pwns Chuck Norris AND JT.

Show some love for Clint!

I haven't seen the new movie yet, but plan to this weekend.

Woke up just in time to see him sitting there with his leather jacket and as suave as always.....I liked the clip " Your an overeducated 23 year old virgin who likes to hold little old ladys hands" I forgot the rest. I am planning on seeing Gran Torino this weekend...support my hometown cast..

Dude, Clint could take Chuck with one hand tied behind his back (...never bring a karate chop to a gunfight... ). We won't even mention what he'd do to JT and his two headed monstosity.

To me, Clint gets the nod because of his intense love for "real jazz" ("Bird" anyone?), and the fact that his son is a pretty darn good upright bassist!

I really want to see Gran Torino, maybe this weekend...

Yep, He's in the same class with Jack Bauer. But older then Munji and Thor, I don't know? That Thor guy is up there in years, doesn't he have like a charter membership in the AARP?

I watched Gran Torino online at Christmas and laughed until I cried. The racial slurs are hilarious: Zipper Head, Fish Head, Spooks, Cracker, the list goes on and on. Clint is the only "old man" that can pull off a believable bad ass at his age. If you're easily offended don't go.

Count this Owl as a life long fan of the coolest badass/director/actor of all time!

The last time I went target shooting, I couldn't help but re-enact a certain scene froma Dirty Harry movie with a loaded .41 Magnum in my hand.

Clint is THE MAN!!!

Ya, he's a happening dude.

And I gotta say: Clint's brand of badassness just gets better with age. I would much rather face down that "kid" from the spaghetti westerns, or even Dirty Harry, than have to cross Walt Kowalski (his character in Gran Toriono). Take DH, multiply the attitude and swap out the smooth whisper for a gravely, raspy snarl. EEK!!

Burkie, your next banning is just a click away.

And Munji IS older than me because I was born on Leap Day.

This movie adds a new dimension to the saying 'Get Offa My Lawn'.
