    Both of those are fantastic, especially 'Jaws.' It's one of those movies that never fails to freak me out or keep me interested. It sucks me in from start to finish. I guess you could say it has a...bite...on me. G-get it? 'Cause the shark has those jaws, and it bites...y...y'know? Bite....bite....

    Paris' restaurants are overrated in general and.mostly tourist traps.

    Couldn't agree more, @Ludovico.
    I visited Paris once, when I was 16. A bowl of soup cost me more than a full meal in my favourite Chinese restaurant. And it was nothing special. Just ordinary tomato soup. For my next meal I walked into a supermarket, bought some sandwiches and cheese for almost no money at all and I never regretted that.

    I don't rate actor Clint Eastwood one iota.

    He is a charisma free actor who never commanded the screen. In Kelly's Heroes I was looking at Savalas, in Where Eagles Dare I was looking at Burton, in the Dollar films I was looking at Van Cleef and Wallach, in Every Which Way I was looking at the monkey (weren't we all?) etc etc etc.

    His tinny voice was weak and his expression was always one of someone who had drifted on set and couldn't find his way off.

    Now that's controversial. ;-)

    Clint Eastwood is better behind the camera rather than in front of it. Like we are finding out with Ben Affleck

    I actually think he has a lots of charisma, otherwise as an actor he would not have made it because he is relatively limited. A far greater director.

    What? Have you seen Unforgiven? Greatest badass after Rorshach there.

    Speaking of 'Unforgiven,' I don't think it's that great. I saw it many years ago and remember being wowed by it, but I went back and watch it about a month ago and it didn't really impress me.

    Paris may be the worst city in the world to eat. And because it is overrated, it is overpriced. And the tourists get robbed and they don't even seem to know it.

    I mean there are places where it is cheap and good. I even remember one where the glass of wine I had was compliment on the house, just to be nice. But this was an exception rather than the rule.

    All right, I am coming out. Any man I see out there who do not like The Unforgiven or Eastwood, I am gonna shoot him. I am not only gonna kill him, but I am gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.

    I like your style and dedication. I don't hate 'Unforgiven,' I just don't see all the love it gets. However, I am a huge fan of Eastwood.

    'Eastwood'? What kind of stoopid name is that? ;)

    I have to say, I've never heard anyone say they didn't like Clint Eastwood. I always thought he was sort of universally loved, lol

    But as long as we're talking about over rated actors, John Wayne, Charles Bronson and James Dean tend to get more praise than their acting deserves (although I do still like them).

    I'm sure there are others, but that's just off the top of my head.

    LOL I just love the way he says it too! As if they were supposed to recognize it as a badass name!

    I'm a HUGE fan of Clint's westerns. Granted, I have to be in that kind of mood, but when I am, I get such a kick out of them.

    @Master Every line of dialogue in that trilogy is epic! Notice how at the end of part III, Clayton Ravine becomes Eastwood Ravine? :))

    Jeez at least Clint Eastwood played in movies with a budget and got an actually gun to make it look real. ;)

    @SaintMark That's because you don't know what Bronson can do with his index finger.

    Chuck Norris would frown on you.

    Chuck Norris is overrated. What about early 90's (and 'Under Siege' and 'Under Siege 2') Steven Seagal?
