My mom who lives with me, is 89.
You have to get used to older people who take their time in what they say and think about what it means.
Young people are in such a hurry, they don’t comprehend a generation that grew up with the idea that:
“A fool speaks because he thinks he has to, a wise man speakd when he has something to say”
With Clint, I don’t know how much in his delivery was calculated (in the way typical to older people) or how much of it was style.... and the fact is, Clint always had a sober, sparse and measured style.
I think it has always been his distinctive charm... (I really don’t like loud, giggly men who blather on like women).
They say women are attracted to men like their dad.... well, my dad was a strong, quiet and very masculine gentleman.
I guess that’s why I appreciate Clint! Just my humble opinion.
I thought he was brilliant too! He reminded me of his character in Grand Torino.
I’m sure dopers were sitting around saying, “Say what?”!!!
“A fool speaks because he thinks he has to, a wise man speaks when he has something to say”
Excellent comment, you said what I was thinking.
