re: #629 Mad Al-Jaffee

true, but what else is a 78 year old man going to make a movie about? It’s always good storytelling to ‘take one for the team’. I’ll give him a pass on that for also being that old and doing a fairly convincing arse kicking, followed by fairly convincing paying for it later.

Whoever wrote the script, and instead of a bunch of flowery words, just put “Clint grumbles” about 20 times - BRILLIANT!

It’s tricky where you have an Archie Bunker type, and the movie promotes assimilation and grudging respect, instead of a fake, plastic Benetton commercial crap where we all hold hands and sing kumbayah, but that movie just seemed real, imho.
