Last night I finally listened to this mp3 of Clint Eastwood's half-talking, half Tom Waits-ean singing of the Gran Torino song. It's okay. Clint shouldn't have named the tune "Gran Torino" (i.e., too on-the-nose), but I'm not hugely bothered by this -- just mildly so. Otherwise it's a whaddaya-whaddaya.

If TypePad is done with its daily suck quota, perhaps this will show up: I haven't seen "Gran Torino," but between this and Ed Harris warbling at the end of "Appaloosa," it's like Kevin Costner singing over the end credits of "The Postman" all over again. Bad ideas all around.

Eastwood was just named Best Actor by National Board of Review.

I give up.

Strange--I clicked the provided link to "Gran Torino" and just heard an instrumental.
