🤬Bitch Catch all/random thread

I don’t eat seafood, but got drunk af and ate crab legs in Baltimore, did well until I tried to eat the backfin or whatever it’s called, ate some lung or some foul shit, that wound my crab eating up.
 
Last night I learned that John Wayne and Clint Eastwood didn't get along because John thought Clint's movies sucked and hated the gritty spaghetti western.

I wonder if that wasn't jealously that Clint's movies were better written and had better acted? Because while I like a couple JW movies, they're campy as hell.
 
I think it’s probably hero vs antihero. There was a real change in the theme of movies in rhe 60s and 70s. Eastwood was on rhe cutting edge of that as an actor. Violence was downplayed, even in mob movies of the 30s. Wayne was very traditional.
 
Wayne appealed to the greatest gen and those before, no subtext. A hero.

Eastman sort of was the first bad guy you cheered for, or at least morally flawed hero. Opened the door for Nickelson, Pacino, deniro. Can’t have taxi driver without the good bad and ugly. Appealed to boomers
 
Fair. But outside Eastwood, we had heros that always won. Arnold, Stalone.....the good guys always won in the 80s. And we still loved the Sopranos with the first truly villainous anti-hero. You saying the Great Generation are stubborn old fucks who didn't enjoy watching violence like they fought a world war or something? Huh? HUH?

ok fine.
 
They wanted clear right and wrong, and a good guy who killed out of necessity by didn’t enjoy it - probably because they had to kill

Can’t imagine Wayne or Gary cooper saying haste la vista or yippie ka ya motherfucker for a laugh
