Some of the best content on WWTW doesn’t flow out of my ramblings — it comes from people who post comments on my site.
So today marks a new feature — the Comment of the Week. I’ll highlight the funniest, most astute or even most critical comment left on WWTW.
And please, keep the comments coming. They inspire me and make the running dialogue here as sharp as possible.
So here’s Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer’s take on “Gran Torino:”
Eastwood owns “Gran Torino” – start to finish. I thought it was brilliant – one of the best films of 2008, even though most of us had to wait until 2009 to see it.
I think Zeluna brings up a very good point about this being a “guy” film with heart. Our theater was packed with young twenty-something males, which sort of shocked me. When a pack of them sat behind us at the theater I was ready to become annoyed at the usual talking, texting and general b.s. I’ve grown accustom to from that crowd. However, these guys were rivited, I never heard a peep until the movie ended and they were all gushing (literally) about how awesome the movie was…
It’s hard for a movie to get any respect these days, especially from the crowd who likes the crap like “Bride Wars.” My gal pals made me go and see it on a ladies’ night – ugh – awful and terrible are not strong enough words to describe my disappointment in this silly movie – could have they possibly made “weddings” more shallow??
