OK - Before we start to determine what 2% of Hollywood films you (Victor) deem as worthwhile Hollywood movies, and the 98% you judge as unworthy, let's look at Eastwood, the Directors work....

A majority of his work has an abundance of rape, whippings, torture sadism, and other sordid leanings . Cornpone at best. It irks me to see , in my lifetime, Eastwood go from a one dimensional cowboy to a respected and heralded director. Out of his numerous films he's been involved with he's gotten it remotely right only once- and that was " The Unforgiven". Most of his stuff is un-watchable. Eastwood is no artist!

If you have a problem with recent Hollywood films (as I do) that's fine, we are in agreement, but it doesn't mean I have to accept crap from Eastwood as quality and not be able to sound off about it.
