N.Y. Times reporter Michael Cieply reported this morning that Clint Eastwood "growls his way" through Gran Torino and that a "a sweet,labbie looking mutt" in the film is more personable than Eastwood's grumpy war vet Walt Kowalski. And David Poland says in song verse (a) "hang yourself if you had money on this film for the win," (b) "I don't know just what went wrong," and (c) "Mister, we could use a film like Unforgiven again."

Eastwood should be banned from the Oscars for the rest of his lifetime, simply for going with the character name "Walt Kowalski". Sir, you are NO Marlon Brando.

I hope to god he doesn't get nominated, and if he wins the only silver lining will be the possibility of Mickey Rourke elbow-dropping him from the stage Macho Man-style.

For my money, you can't go wrong with Clint Eastwood, his sneer and his gun.

David Poland just went ahead and reverse-Jinxed it. Now it's gonna win everything.
