Re: [MOPO] Good 'ol Clint...
Hi David, I couldn't agree more about Clint being a great artist. He only gets better and continues to astonish me. My prayer is to work with him someday. I do have to say that when I was in the theatre in my teen years in NY, many people wanted to kill Frank Rich. For some reason, he didn't just slam with his harsh criticism but managed to really slam people in a personal way. I remember attending the opening of a Broadway show of a well-respected playwright. The show was great but afterwards at the party when the reviews were read, Frank Rich's was particularly scathing. The playwright wanted to know who was close enough to Mr. Rich so he could have him poisoned. I was in a show that Mr. Rich destroyed, but he was very kind to me in the review. I have nothing personal against him. He's been great to me, but I know the ire Mr. Rich draws.

[MOPO] READ ONLY if YOU LOVE CLINT
Well lookee here: I just found, buried on page three of the BACK section of today's Arts & Leisure -- a BETTER story about Clint -- appearing in print, in the same paper, on the same day. If it had been up to me, I would've put David Carr's story below about Clint on the front page and pushed Frank Rich into some corner where nobody would notice. After reading this, you will love Clint more. -d. -- NEW YORK TIMES February 13, 2005 Clint Eastwood, Still Fighting for the Green Light By DAVID CARR BURBANK, Calif. -- FIVE times in a dozen years, Clint Eastwood, director, has given Warner Brothers, a studio otherwise short on Oscar winners, a ticket to the Academy Awards. He directed a best picture, "Unforgiven," in 1993 and two years ago delivered a best picture nominee, "Mystic River." Meryl Streep received an acting nomination for his "Bridges of Madison County," a 1995 Warner film. Even "Space Cowboys," the old-guy space romp he made for the studio in 2000, picked up a nomination for its sound effects. But the green light still doesn't come easy for a 74-year-old pro who has called the Warner lot his professional home since 1975, and has now produced, directed and/or starred in some 30 pictures for the company since "Dirty Harry" in 1971. When Mr. Eastwood proposed his "Million Dollar Baby," the studio balked, citing audience aversion to boxing pictures, just as it had first turned down "Mystic River," a crime-and-friendship story that was first deemed too dark. Warner executives only budged when an outside financier, Lakeshore Entertainment, agreed to share the cost. In the shadow of a large sign boasting of the picture's seven Academy Award nominations, including best picture and best director, the studio president, Alan F. Horn, is more than happy to eat some crow. "If I were sitting here talking about how I let 'Million Dollar Baby' go to another studio, I would be more than chagrined," he said. "In retrospect, his instincts were right, stunningly right. At the end of the day, and sometimes these are very long days, we did the pictures." Never simple, often tested, sometimes downright tense, the marriage between Mr. Eastwood and his home studio has ultimately proved to be an astonishingly productive relationship in an industry that defines a three-year contract as a long-term deal. To Warner, the aging Mr. Eastwood - who started in Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns and became embedded in American consciousness as Dirty Harry - has brought unexpected cachet, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue over the years. The actor-turned-filmmaker and Warner have not always been on the same page of the script. But with the kind of bumps and pushback one comes to expect from a lifelong mate, the partnership has somehow wrung the best from a blue-collar auteur who, well into his 70's, makes good to great movies with the constancy of a factory worker. Asked about Warner's reluctance over "Million Dollar Baby," Mr. Eastwood sounded crusty but not bitter. "I explained to them that it wasn't a boxing movie, it was a love story," he said, "but I must say, other studios had the same opinion, although many of them had expressed interest in working with me. I told them, 'Hey, I'm not the kind that looks good in tights or can play a superhero,' and if they don't want to do this, and they don't want to do dramas, why are they even in the movie business?" By and large, the Warner-Eastwood relationship operates on a handshake. Mr. Eastwood has no overriding contractual commitment to the studio, but works picture by picture, and will do his next, "Flags of Our Fathers," for DreamWorks SKG, with some Warner backing. (DreamWorks owns the rights to the story.) But the comfort of Mr. Eastwood's connection to Warner's sprawling Burbank lot was apparent in a recent visit to Mr. Eastwood's office on the lot, the bungalow once used by Harry Warner and now home to the filmmaker's Malpaso Productions, even amid the slight buzz of Oscar electricity. His wife, Dina Ruiz Eastwood, stopped in and quietly giggled with the staff about what clothing and jewelry she would wear to the Oscars while Mr. Eastwood took press calls in his office. She turned down the $10,000 loaner watch in favor of her own $60 watch that keeps time just fine: understatement is one of the cornerstones of the Eastwood franchise. After a few minutes, Mr. Eastwood emerged from his office in the back of the bungalow and his wife asked him if she should pick up anything at the market. "Let me see - Viagra, Levitra and, yeah, some Cialis," he deadpanned to shrieks of laughter from the staff and Ms. Eastwood. He can make that kind of joke, not just because he has seven children, including an 8-year-old daughter, but also because he is not given to anxiety over his image. He has no press agent. "At a certain point, you are who you are," he said, smiling. As an actor and a director, he has conjured up many men who seem imprisoned by regret, but

[MOPO] Good 'ol Clint...
Hi Toochis: In fairness, the hatred between Frank Rich and Mel Gibson is mutual, and it started when Rich accused Gibson of anti-semitism and brought Mel's father into the discussion as a Holocaust-denier. It escalated when Gibson made a death threat against Rich in an interview w/the New Yorker. But as far as Clint getting nominated for Best Actor -- I was also happy. Though everyone says Jamie Foxx is a "slam dunk" in this category, it's nice to see Clint get nominated because in "Million Dollar Baby," it's the first time I've seen Clint showing a decent amount of range. Clint reminds me of those great actors who always play themselves and audiences don't care. John Wayne always played John Wayne, Woody Allen always plays Woody Allen and Cary Grant, the best example, always played Cary Grant. Of the three, Cary Grant NEVER won an Oscar except a special statue long after he retired. Clint always plays Clint and we don't care. But in "Baby," his acting had my wife in tears. He's tremendous; and in any other year, he might be the favorite to win an acting Oscar. But who knows? Clint already has 2 statues for "Unforgiven" (and I like "Million Dollar Baby" a lot more), and John Wayne had to wait until 1970, 8 years before his death, when he won Best Actor for 1969's "True Grit." The huge difference is that Clint has proven himself a great artist, perhaps underrated, as an independent producer dating back to the early 1970s with his still running Malpaso company. I love the guy even though he's going up against another maverick I adore, Martin Scorcese. The problem with Scorcese and Oscar is his material is rarely mainstream. And if and when Scorcese wins, I want it to be because of merit, not sentiment. It still pains me that Al Pacino got his Oscar, for example, for "Scent of a Woman," and not for his Godfather pictures, Serpico or Dog Day Afternoon. I can't even watch Pacino in that film, anymore than I can watch Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man." (Though Dustin was the best thing in "Meet the Fockers;" he'll always find work.) Anyway, more than anyone wanted to hear from me; sorry; it's been a while. -d.

Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 01:33:55 -0800 David, I couldn't agree with you more. I was also offended when Frank Rich wrote that Passion of the Christ's nomination for make-up was for big noses. How low does he have to go to get attention? Obviously very low. I loved Million Dollar Baby and just tell people to go see it. Whatever one hears about it they cannot help but be moved by this impressive film. I'm glad Clint also got nominated for best actor.

[MOPO] Is Moviegoods Letting Poster Price Wither On The Vine?
My subscription is almost up on Poster Price. And while the site is useful on more scarce items, anything in the low to moderate price ranges are significantly off, mostly too high. A reflection of auction house results from '03 and '04 and their select dealer sales could improve these histories thus increasing usefulness.

Re: [MOPO] Please stop giving away plot twists for newly released films!
David, I couldn't agree with you more. I was also offended when Frank Rich wrote that Passion of the Christ's nomination for make-up was for big noses. How low does he have to go to get attention? Obviously very low. I loved Million Dollar Baby and just tell people to go see it. Whatever one hears about it they cannot help but be moved by this impressive film. I'm glad Clint also got nominated for best actor.
