Movie: Gran Torino

[Floyd]

Dusty Yates is back.

The Man With No Name has created a new character. And he's not putting up with s**t.

That's right. A cool car, a shitty neighborhood with gang bangers and various scum, and one pissed off Korean War vet with an M1 Garand.

When Clint Eastwood says "Get off of my lawn" while pointing an M1, you know he means it.

Pity the only review of the film slams the plot, but it's Clint Eastwood with cars and guns! Pity the fools who miss this.

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out on DVD. My family refuses to spend $9 a person for movie tickets.

He better be a fast reloader.
I'm counting more than 8 guys.

Most Gang Bangers dont account for reload time. So, As soon at Mr. Awesomeness opens up... They'll scatter anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was also packing a sidearm as well. Actually this also brings up a question. Is this movie like a sequal or some continuation of a series? Like I know the Dirty Harry series has different names in the titles. If it's part of a series I'd want to know what the first movies are so I can see them first.

Even if it was a sequal I doubt they would give Mr. Eastwood another mod 29.
He might get a compound fracture on his wrist, if not him his character.

They could give the character a Model 27.

But for going with the Korean War Vet, they might just give him a 1911.

During the day it's much cheaper.
I think night tickets for here is about... 7-10 something, early day is either 4.75 or 5.75.  

[Requiem ex Inferni]

I'll be seeing it when it comes out on Netflix.

I knew it, I saw some new portions of the movie and he does have a 1911.
Although this one is either stainless or Nickel plated.

Parkerized, all the way through. Saw it tonight. He names off his old Army regiment: 506th Airborne, Second Battalion, E Company.

Easy Company. Speirs' company. Ronald Speirs was his commanding officer in Korea.

Carries a First Cav Zippo, though, so I could be wrong. All in all though, it was a great movie, and funny as hell. Seriously, it's an absolute riot until about the last half hour.

=( I'll have to wait for Netflix. At least Traitor should be coming in today. biggrin

Really? It's Parkerized?
Maybe it's how the lighting reflected.
Well that just makes it even better.

I don't think they were prop guns, either. He locks and loads his M1 like a pro in one scene, and in another he's got both disassembled and strewn all over his kitchen table as he wipes down the outside of the 1911's barrel.

Also, there was a credit for "Armorer".
