Get off my lawn
Just did a quick scan on TV before turning in, found Gran Torino on a local channel. Guess I'll make a pot of coffee now.

The movie has one missing line. When Eastwood asks the neighbors to watch the dog, he should have added "And don't eat him!".

When imploring unwanted interlopers to vacate my lawn, I find my admonition more effective sans pants. Shock and awe cannot begin to describe their response and subsequent emphatic and rapid retreat.

I was shooting in a match with a squad that included Swat and pistol team members when a neighbors dog wandered on the range.
A Philippino/American cop took the dog by the collar to escort him back home. He did complain that it's always the Asian when it comes to dogs.

I caught the movie during that scene where the kid (aka) Toad--was trying to steal it and Eastwood was looking for him Garand in hands.

Every time I do a cable channel scan trying to find something to watch, and Gran Torino is on, I always watch it. I'm not sure which is my favorite movie, Gran Torino or The Professional.

Was that The Professional - Leon, the cleaner? Or The Professionals - Lee Marvin going into Mexico to rescue a kidnapped wife?
I like both, but 'tis amazing the difference an S more or less, or the word THE makes (big difference between Unforgiven and The Unforgiven).

Yes it was Leon, the professional. Maybe that's the correct title.

Walt Kowalski: You're wrong, eggroll, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I may not be the most pleasant person to be around, but I got the best woman who was ever on this planet to marry me. I worked at it, it was the best thing ever happened to me. Hands down. But you, you know, you're letting Click-Clack, Ding-Dong and Charlie Chan just walk out with Miss What's-her-face. She likes you, you know? Though I don't know why!
Thao Vang Lor: Who?
Walt Kowalski: Yum Yum. You know, the girl in the purple sweater. She's been looking at you all day, stupid!
About as politically correct as looking down the barrel of Walt's 1911. Love that scene, love the movie.

The last time I uttered those words were to a couple of elk that was eating what little grass I have. They were not impressed with my indigence.
