7. according to Meryl she and Clint really hit it off, and I wonder if they didn't have

something going during the filming of it.

That scene shows the soft side of Eastwood and I just wonder where it went...

8. he's more like dirty harry nt

9. I think he has an aversion to civil rights and oppressed people, generally

This time, it is a gang of trial lawyers staring down Clint Eastwood, asking themselves about taking him on: "Do I feel lucky?" These "sleazebag lawyers," the veteran actor says, his voice constricting, messed with the wrong guy when they "frivolously" sued him and hundreds of other small-business owners for failing to comply quickly enough with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Mr. Eastwood . . . is striking back with a Washington lobbying campaign for new legislation to modify the law. "I figure I won't back down because of all these people . . . who can't defend themselves."

I don't know how long he's been such a creep, but it's deep and it's not new.
