I was listening from the next room as Eastwood began his speech and it didn’t SOUND really good. Then I went to SEE it, and the visual of the empty chair and teleprompter, with the ‘interview’ was actually a bit of genius.
AND, most important, everyone is talking about it today. Like it or not, the message sure got across. Between youtube and other ‘social media’ probably 20x as many people have now seen the Eastwood speech as actually watched the convention last night. That constitutes a very effective speech.
This looks good from the get go but we must remain ever vigilant.
Hammer time!

I can’t find the poll? I think they must have taken it down!
“but can we please admit the speech sucked?”
NO. And it wasn’t a speech. That’s your problem right there.
How does a person chose between your choices? They are all excellent movies!

And yes, I not only liked it, I loved it! Clint was masterful...he took the convention planners by surprise, and watching backstage, Mitt was laughing. On the other hand, the Dims are not happy campers today about that masterful bit of jabbing Clint did to Barry Soreloserman.

It’s one of those things that at the moment, you think, what the heck is this. But afterwards, as you think about his performance, it grows on you. You realize it wasn’t a speech, but a didactic theatrical piece. It was not like anything that has been done before at a convetion, and it was effective for making a point, in the inimicable style of Eastwood.

It is worth another view or two!
To me, this was not a speech at all. It was a man on the stage, who had the attentention of those in attendance. Love Mr. Eastwood, always have. If I Thought this was a speech I would be disappointed, however, I feel it was a man who was invited to speak at the RNC, which is exactly what he did.
