Making Racism Funny Again

I couldn't believe the shit that came out of Clint's mouth in his latest movie, "Gran Torino." Among some of my favorites: To a group of Hmong wanksters he pulls a gun on for fighting on his lawn, "We used to stack fucks like you 5 feet high in Korea and use you as sandbags." Or to a group of bro's messing with a chick, "What the hell you spooks up to?" And to a whigger, "Shut up pussy. You wanna be SuperSpade or something?" Ha! That's 3 ethnic groups just in the first 30 minutes of the movie. His best stuff since he told Spike Lee he should "shut his face." Though you can see the old guy eventually softening from the get-go, the film never sinks into sappiness and has an effective unexpected ending. And if all this wasn't enough, Eastwood co-wrote the score which was played by jazz pianist Jamie Cullum (good musician in his own right). It's a cool blend of east-west sounds, smooth and dark. In his last acting role, this suburban cowboy movie is appropriate for Clint to ride out in the sunset to while at 78 proving he is still the toughest hombre on the block.

What Does the Future Hold?

I consulted the oracle about the possibility of Lasik eye surgery. The cards said all good.
