33. Eastwood's an overrated hack.
He's like Swartzenegger. The only thing Arnold can play is an emotionless robot. And the only thing Eastwood can play is an angry cowboy. Why they keep giving him Oscars is beyond me. Might as well make him Governor.

"Eastwood's the one that got an Oscar for making a Western film with NO heroes one that in revisionist style,cast things that had been told before in a highly critical light."

You're talking about Unforgiven? Eastwood included some historical accuracy that no Westerns had bothered with before. And we found out why because it's as boring as hell. Then he included the standard Hollywood cliches: the black guy that gets killed, the goofy newbie, the cartoonish villain, and then abandons historical accuracy for a classic Hollywood shoot-out, contradicting everything he set up before hand.

Clint Eastwood is the Toby Keith of Hollywood movies.
