During last night's Clint Eastwood tribute at Santa Barbara's Arlington theatre -- a two-hour chat that started about 25 minutes late. 45% of the discussion covered Eastwood's beginning years in the '50s and '60s, 25% to 30% focused on the early '70s and his beginnings as a director, and 25% was devoted to his output of the '80s, '90s and 21st Century.

(l. to r.) In Contention's Kris Tapley, L.A. Times/Feinberg Files columnist Scott Feinberg, Santa Barbara Film Festival director Roger Durling at Eastwoood reception at Cafe Luck.

Feinberg, Eastwood height disparity is less than it would have been five or ten years ago. Anyone with an elderly parent knows that inches give way as people they get into their '70s and beyond.

No offense intended, but...

The composition on the Eastwood video reminds me too much of internet porn where the cameraman seems to think that low-angle shots from between people's legs is interesting.

I had no choice. I had a seat in the front row -- best seat in the house -- and I shot it as steadily as I could. I agree it's not very intriguing. If I had my choice of vantage points and whatnot I certainly would have done it differently.

Hahahahaha. Mutiny - that's hilarious. It's quite hot actually, isn't it? He's totally a GILF anyway. Or maybe GrILF is a better way to put it.

Tapley looks like he's about to go on stage as Biff Loman in his senior year production of Death of a Salesman.

At the moment, you'll have a feeling of proud. The articles by China's manufacturers are not only in a good quality, but also in a great many of quantity, and in a very lower price. For example, a same suit Made in China, might marked five to ten dollars that would cost one hundred dollars that made in Western countries. Many people couldn't afford for it but Chinese goods are most popular now than ever before.The popularation of Chinese objcets is almost covered the market place all over the world, including the European and American markets.
