    See here[^]. Some of the movies were just plain awful, and none of them were what you'd expect from such a fine actor.

      I liked Buck and the Preacher, not to mention Fast Forward. :)

        I guess I expected him to be a great director, since he was such a good actor. The movies he directed weren't uniformly horrible, but I would have thought a few would really shine. I'm something of a film snob, I'm afraid. It's probably a result of being forced to watch the unadulterated crap classic 'B-movies' my wife likes to watch.

          I never thought Clint Eastwood was an exceptional actor, but his movies are certainly done well.

            Eastwood's sort of a counter-example to Poitier. Clint's a pretty good actor who has turned into an amazing director.

                We had a zombie film festival last fall X|. You can endure only so many movies in a row about shambling managers.

                      Lon Chaney, Jr. Charles Laughton Spencer Tracey

                      "Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis
