| by RonPrice Film critic Gerald Peary notes in his essay on the biography Clint: The Life and Legend, there are at least two Clints. I think it is fair to say there are probably more than two Clint Eastwoods. There are certainly more than two Ron Prices with hopefully a golden thread joining all the selves as well as threads of many other colours. On the internet I found by the year 2008 at least 60 Ron Prices: car salesmen, writers, poets, evangelists, Deans, Board Members,harpists,insurance salesmen, etc. etc. After more than fifty years of excessive contact with human beings, the quiet, only child, the self who had learned in his early childhood(up to 1949) how to occupy himself in a solitary way, seemed to want more of that solitude. Price was ready by the turn of the millennium for televisions more metonymic contact with others. He found in this medium, a medium which had been part of his life on and off for half a century, that all of those storytellers, priests, wisemen and elders which in many ways had become lost to society in the years of its disintegration in the previous century and especially in recent decades, the decades of his life, had become restored to cultural visibility and to oral primacy in his nightly fare on TV and in the daily fare of radio programs. With embellishments from the internet and books, embellishments which were usually more satisfying to the mind, he felt little need for any human contact at all. And society, he felt, seemed to have little felt need, for his story, drowned as society had become in a plethora of stories, day after day, night after night and year after year from the tidal wave of productions of the print and electronic media. Those storytellers came along in the convincing guise of highly literate specialists: newsreaders, commentators, scientific and artistic experts as well as writers and producers with their endless capacity to generate stories in the form of movies, interviews, who-dun-its, soap-operas, a cornucopia of stuff that rested the eyes and stimulated the mind in varying degrees.

| by Ed Thompson I'd like to see a sequel to Kellys Heroes. How did they get the money home. Did they go AWOL To get out of the war? Dod they stay in the war to the end? What did they do with the money? I can see something like the end of Nationalo Lampoons Amimal House. There can be flash backs to fit in for the age of the actors. Some of them would use there mopney for making a movie .It would be hard to say where the money was coming from  Comment on this... |

| by RIchard Jorgensen Clint, if you have any interest in new material,look at 'The Steps of Sandford' published by PublishAmerica.com. With a gifted screen writer and your brilliant directorship, this may, just may, gain you another award for brilliant movie making! Good luck in seeking the story line of this little known novel!

| by Stavo Does anyone know how I can get this story to someone who can do something about having it made into a movie/documentary....or whatever??? This story is about a family member. This family member is a Korean war veteran, with a history that is worthy of telling the world. As a young man, he and his friends ran afoul of the law and were given 10 year prison sentences. This member managed to escape jail and the law and managed to enlist in the army, during the Korean conflict. To make a long story short, he went to Korea and volunteered/was volunteered for every combat mission he/they could think of. He has the documents, memories, scars and medals to prove his ordeal. Dying a hero was preferred than prison. Just so he could hide and keep from being captured by the CID or FBI or who ever there was during those days. Eventually he was offered battle field commissions and had to refuse them, in turn arousing the armies curiosity. When the truth became known, he was given a pardon by the gov. of his state and a heroes welcome when coming home......and has lived a life as only a dysfunctional combat veteran could and can.

| by Marty I have never ever called anyone "Mr" , On this occasion I will ..., I was the biggest John Wayne fan as a Boy and always wanted to meet him. Then Clint Eastwood came on to the seen and I guess I will never get to meet you either. However with you ,there is the internet so I can tell you how much pleasure your movies bring to me , Both you as an actor and a Director for which I have to say in my own opinion and it is my own opinion. You are exceptional , I have recently purchased "any which way but loose" and the sequel. I have watched you receive your awards for Directing in recent times to. Congrats. From a devoted Fan Cheers Marty. (Keep up the Brilliance) Comment on this... | ||||
