can these be subsumed under some kind auterist accounting of clint's favorite themes and approaches?

can the monkey himself claim a degree of authorship?

I suggest a Clint Eastwood Films With Orangutan Movie Mararthon Drinking Game.

one drink every time the monkey scratches his armpit

Geoffrey Lewis is the man's name. The William H Macy of his day, only he didn't receive as much acclaim.

There is no monkey in these films. Honest.

I'm being pedantic.

She's right you know.

I assume the two of you are overlooking William O Connell's contributions to the films.

i believe he played the biker gang leader.

That was no monkey, that was an ORANGUTAN!

Humanity lost a great cinematic performance when Edward G Robinson found that he didn't have the heart to go thru the daily makeup process to be Dr Zaius...

orangutans are monkeys in the code of the streets

Geoffrey Lewis is Juliette Lewis's dad, I seem to remember: he's great in lotsa flicks (I particularly enjoy his turn in Tobe Hooper's 'Salem's Lot' tv adap)

Charlie Rich is in one of the Clint+Monkey flicks, so Classic enough

Lewis is also great as the Klan leader in "Fletch Lives", even tho he only has one scene.

also i was disappointed that there was no monkey in "mystic river"

― amateur!st (amateurist), Thursday, 26 February 2004 08:15 (twenty-one years ago)

After I saw 'Mystic River', I felt like I had been beaten on the head by monkeys.

too bad, you missed out

when they give clint eastwood his lifetime achievement award at the oscars, the introductory montage should consist entirely of scenes from the monkey movies and firefox

"think in russian; you must THINK in russian"

oh, a childhood spent growing up with HBO...

― Lt. Kingfish Del Pickles (Kingfish), Sunday, 19 September 2004 07:18 (twenty-one years ago)

During the montage, they also need to show the scene from Thunderbolt & Lightfoot where the old guy rolls his car over and then opens the trunk to let all of the bunny rabbits out.
