The review does say that Eastwood’s character has a drinking problem.

I’ll always remember his astonishment at realizing that Gary Oldman was a young man, while Henny Youngman was an old man.

Bob Dole doesn’t need this!

That’s why his character’s name in those movies is Ron Constipée.

50,000,000 Elvis fans COULD have been wrong. I’m not saying they were, but they could have been.

He makes movies about the Upper Peninsula. This is considered equivalent by Yoopers. I trust their counsel in such matters.

He is from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

“Look at this script, Jeff. Page 63 - you’re sitting on the toilet. See, these guys have even written in the sound effects. Page 64, still on the toilet. Page 65... 66... Jeez, page 72 and you’re still sitting on the toilet! Don’t do it, Jeff!”

It’s on right after Conan the Librarian.

I’ve, and this is true, been picturing no people. None.

Was this guy once shot at by a radioactive reporter, or have I got that story totally cocked up?

It’s really a dirty trick to not show an actor the script. For example, I don’t know how Mark Wahlberg has tolerated it all these years.

The C evidently stands for “Criswell.” We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives!

Well, being a well-known director without being a polarizing one like Zack Snyder or something would be pretty nice. Actors though, hmm. I’ve known a number of pretty famous character actors, and while they have lots of people coming up to them wanting to chat or just say hi, there’s not that sort of intensity or need…

What color era is the first four or five movies? That is, Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Out for Justice and Marked for Death? I always think of it as the Three Word era.

I not only met and worked with Ed Asner, but he fought for my rights! I was an extra in a movie he was in and when he saw the brown-bag lunch they were giving the background (specifically when he saw MY brown-bag lunch), he demanded we get the same hot lunch as everyone else.
