huh. Literally the only thing they have in common is a lone alien.

..same alien body type, being hidden in plain sight by regular joes disguising him in a variety of humorous different costumes. Not to mention the alien's humor style and voice are extremely similar. It's not American Dad in toto, but I saw a huge similarity between Roger and Paul.
Gran Torino
Wow... now that was a climax. After the local Hmong Gangsters exact vengeance on his neighbors, Clint Eastwood completely defies expectations and ensures that not only will the violence end, but in a way that sends a message to the kid he befriended. Easily my favorite twist since the Shawshank Redemption.
This movie is so good, I may actually buy it.

Oh man, I'm getting visions of them riffing on horror movies with a heavy does of "Abbot and Costello meet..." thrown in...
Man. Now I wanna go watch Abbot and Costello movies.
Negative reviews I could see stemming from the maguffin-filled plot and the atrocious 3D (the movie was already dark, and under 3D people say it was very difficult to make out what was going on in night shots).
I myself would get more on-board with middling reviews. It was an okay movie; it exists, but it wasn't anything special. Of the many summer films we saw, I'd say it was the worst, which was a surprise because I went into Thor and X-Men: First Class expecting duds.
I wonder how much the issue of "3D ruins the movie is the theater falsely trying to be cheap and running the projection lamp on a low setting.
Some, but the fact is that 3D post-conversion darkens the film so when you shoot you have to compensate for that. Most do not or can't, so no matter how poorly the theater deals with the lamp it's still going to have sub-par picture quality.
Watched John Carpenters "The Ward" last night. Here's my review from my website, www.youusedtomakegoodmoviesandnowyoumakethingslikethisjohncarpentercommareallyquestionmark.com
Actually the website name kind of sums it up.

That's such a great movie.
I doubt the prequel will be good at all... but I'm probably gonna see it anyway.
I would love to see how that movie would have been with Charlie Heston in it.
*insert incredibly racist Planet of the Apes paraphrase here*
*facepalms* Your right, it was Clint Eastwood. I feel dumb. Still the best movie I've seen in a long time.
Notable also because Eastwood has said it will be his last role as an actor.
Yeah, but he had said that about Million Dollar Baby as well. Though really, this is probably the movie to go out on.
As long as Clint can speak and walk, he will act in some way.
I'm surprised he hasn't tried his hand (er, voice) at animation voice work.
Although, there's a rumour popping around that DC is trying their damndest to get him as the voice of Batman for a Dark Knight Returns animated movie.

Twenty three years ago, I wanted to cast Clint in the live action Dark Knight Returns...
Do you mean acting or directing....OR BOTH?!?!
Directing wise, I've liked Changeling, Mystic River, and Unforgiven. The rest either were bad, boring, or had no interest to me really.
Directing wise, mine would be Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and Gran Torino. Acting... everything is awesome. I still have so many Eastwood westerns to watch.
Every Which Way but Loose... or You Can...
That is how he established himself as a director that can make money.

Which one of those does Million Dollar Baby fall into?
Really? Aw, damn. I was hoping that it would be as good as the other Del Toro produced flick, "The Orphan". Thats a shame.
I wasn't super interested in Million Dollar Baby, and then someone spoiled it for me, and I got mad and tried to wait for a while so I'd semi-forget it, and then just never have seen it.
I saw it opening night, but had I not, I would've heard about that woman bitching and spoling the ending because of her son, and then Ebert saying no one has the right to do that.
