The Mule, new Clint Eastwood movie

I saw the title and got all excited. Of course, knowing me, this was the first thing that popped into my mind. By the way, that's our friend "Old Bear" from the forum taking his very first mule ride here at the ol' homestead.:)

at first glance this doesn't seem like the kind of role you'd expect clint to play but i bet he pulls it off.

That’s actually one of the primary reasons Clint is such a great director and actor, especially once he got older and past the spaghetti western and Dirty Harry stereotypes (as much fun as they were and are to watch):

He never lets conventional expectations of what a “typical” Clint Eastwood movie should be get in the way of a good movie he wants to do.
 
Ya know, when he did the screen adaptation of "The Bridges of Madison County" I thought he'd found his niche doing character roles about old guys who have experienced a great loss. Here are five minutes of some pretty good acting with Meryl Streep:

Looks like this will be another installment in that genre worth watching.

BTW, this is the second "mule movie" Clint has done. Remember "Two Mules for Sister Sara" with Shirley MacLaine?
 
My wife and I were going to Barbados on a mission trip this summer from Oklahoma City and our plane couldn't land in Atlanta because of a low cloud ceiling. We had to land in Birmingham then go back to Atlanta and by then our whole trip was messed up and we were sitting on the floor in the Atlanta airport with hundreds of others wondering what to do next. So we decided to cancel our trip and just hang out in Atlanta for a few days. When I was working out in our hotel room gym I got to talking to a guy who said he was in town working on shooting a movie for Clint Eastwood called The Mule. He told me all about the movie and that he had worked on Clint's Movies for the last 20 years. I asked him how Clint can turn out so many movies at his age and he said that Clint is incredible at organizing and managing a movie. His team can crank one out in just a few months then start working on the next one as the last one is finishing.

That's the first thing I thought of.


Shirley is still around, 84 years old.


"Sister Sara" was Juarez fighting Maximilian. That was the mid-1860s, and I'll guess Sara at 24. Now it's 60 years later, and 88-year-old Hogan meets up with 84-year-old Sara in the mid-1920s. Two old lovers having themselves a reunion, a few years before the Crash.


Didn't really sound like a good movie.
