Pun Salad

This week's test of the Sunday Basic Cable Movie Actor Theory:

• 12:00AM on AMC: The Dead Pool (Clint Eastwood)
• 7:30AM on AMC: Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood)
• 10:30AM on AMC: Magnum Force (Clint Eastwood)
• 1:00PM on AMC: The Enforcer (Clint Eastwood)
• 3:00PM on AMC: Sudden Impact (Clint Eastwood)
• 5:00PM on AMC: The Dead Pool (Clint Eastwood)
• 7:00PM on AMC: Mystic River (Clint Eastwood (director))
• 8:00PM on TNT: The Fugitive (Harrison Ford)
• 10:30PM on TNT: The Fugitive (Harrison Ford)

Yes, it's a Dirty Harry marathon today at AMC. If you're feeling lucky, punk, turn on the tube at 7:30am (EDT) and leave it on for eleven and a half hours. (There's an hour break at 9:30am for an episode of Mad Men, so head off to church then.)

I also found this article via IMDB:

Clint Eastwood has not ruled out the possibility of making another Dirty Harry movie.

The actor said he thinks he is too old to star in another film, but admitted that he would not reject the idea out of hand.

He told MTV: "I'm 78 years old, and you're pretty well drummed out of the police force by that age.

"There could be a scenario. I suppose if some mythical writer came out of nowhere and it was the greatest thing on the planet, I'd certainly have to think about it, but it's not like I've ever courted it."

He added: "I feel like that was an era of my life, and I've gone on to other things. I'm not sure about being Dirty Harry again, but who knows?"

Clint also revealed that he was only offered the role after Frank Sinatra suffered a hand injury and was unable to hold a gun.

Theory status: unrefuted for 33 consecutive weeks.
