The Monkeys were a little too "teeny-bopper" for me at my age back in the day (being cynical was the fashion), but they were a guilty pleasure! Loved the pure joy of their music.

If he was "stunned" by the ad he should have disavowed it instead of denying the obvious.

I never though Eastwood was a weasel-worder, never thought he was a fool, and I never thought he would throw his support behind these kinds of people. So all-in-all, I am very confused by this.

Edit: Perhaps he is constrained by his contract with Chrysler so can't say much of anything else.

Clint,

Looks more like post game than half time and Detroit lost. See Detroit vs. Hiroshima.

Connections: Just saw Clint Eastwood's Changling. One of the messages of that film was the dire consequences of a system where someone could be committed to a sanitarium solely on the basis of a letter from a police captain. No due process.

SOPA is ("was", I hope) another example of "no due process".

(See you Section-12ers in Room 18!)

Makes me think of a couple of my favorite old haunted house movies.

How about 1961's The Innocents? Perhaps it is less haunted house and more haunted *inhabitants* of house. The beauty of the movie is that you are never sure of exactly what is happening.

Then of course there is 1932's The Old Dark House by James Whale, he of Frankenstein and, better yet, Bride of Frankenstein fame. Not all that scary but a delight to watch.

That picture is looking east so the sun/disc must be rising, quite the opposite of the thrust of the article!

When I go to a movie (well, when I used to go -- haven't been in a long time) I go to be entertained, not to provide charitable contributions, moral support, or a policing service. If the industry can't get its act together without me, they are not trying hard enough.
