Clint Eastwood Movie Challenge...
So I joined up over on the clinteastwood.org forum for kicks and they are having an Eastwood Movie Watching Challenge. If you guys are interested... I also proposed a cross forum movie night. If you guys think that is a good idea I can attempt to coordinate with their moderators...

* Paint Your Wagon Drinking Game Movie Night will be Sunday, 2/21/16 at 4:00 PM ET. If you can't join us for Movie Night, try to watch it on your own that week anyway.
I'd be in, if only I had the time! Some of his earlier ones I have watched in years!
Space Cowboys and Heartbreak Ridge were on telly the other week, so had them on in the background while doing other things...does that count?

As Charlie posted above, we're watching all of the Clint Eastwood acted in and/or directed in movies, starting with A Fistful of Dollars right up to the theater release of Sully in September. It's about 8 months of Clint Eastwood, two movies per week. We have over 20 people participating, and we've had some great discussion threads about the films. This is a really fun way to watch some of the movies that you've either never seen, or haven't seen in years, with an opportunity to discuss them all with people who are watching them with you at the same time, while everything is still fresh in mind. We're also making new friends, and just having fun.
Although the Challenge will be open the entire length of the Challenge to anyone who wants to join, I call this "Last Call" because once we get past the Paint Your Wagon drinking game movie night, it will be hard to catch up to everyone and do the complete Challenge. Although the idea of keeping up with everyone and doing the Full Challenge is more for bragging rights and personal fulfillment (I know what you're thinking... we have weak goals in life, but just stay with me here) there will be small prizes to anyone who completes the full challenge and who is willing to share their mailing address with me.
So, if you're interested in joining in, I'd recommend doing it right away before it gets too much later. Here's a thread talking about the Challenge: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=10245.0
Here's the Week 1 thread on A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=10259.0
Here's the Week 2 thread on The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Hang 'em High: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=10292.0
And this week's thread: Week 3 Coogan's Bluff and Where Eagles Dare: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=10302.0
Again, I'll emphasize you can jump in at ANY TIME, you don't have to catch up. But, if you don't do the full challenge, you just won't get the very tiny prize and bragging rights. I know, you're all broken up about that man's rights.
Sorry, Harry Callahan escapes me sometimes. I should have used that name instead of Wes Block.
Anyway, hope you'll join us.
It can be changed...ask Admin or our IT man @Matt
