Gran Torino Gets Off The Weekend Box Office’s Lawn

by Stuart Heritage on January 12, 2009 1 Comment

There are two types of Clint Eastwood-directed movie – the unpopular ones that everybody hates and the unpopular ones that win Oscars.

But now we can add a third type of Clint Eastwood-directed movie to the list – the popular ones. Because Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood’s newest movie, hasn’t just claimed the number one slot at the weekend box office, but it’s the biggest-opening movie of his career.

Perhaps Gran Tornio‘s weekend box office success will allow Clint Eastwood to direct more popular fare. We hope so, because then he could helm Marley & Me 2: Did He Do Six Craps On The Carpet Or Only Five?

Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You the Way it is

Five up, five down.

Folded:

  • The Sweeney on ITV4 in the day sometime (if you’re bored, ill or skiving)
  • British Style Genius (good set of programmes on BBC2. Good if you like clothes, of course, bit of a waste of time if you don’t)
  • Spiralling by Keane (officially we hate the song, but it would still work better as the new Bond theme than Another Way To Shat)
  • Gran Torino trailer (Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film proves why he is still the rock hardest, baddest muddy funster in all the movies)
  • Want to know which watch Sly Stallone wears in Cobra? (hell yes!)

Creased:

  • Craig in Creep (a down on his luck Luke Goss impersonator hides in the London Underground killing people. Worst horror villain ever? We feel another Top Ten coming on)
  • No downloadable GTA IV content for PS3 owners (at least not for a while. That’s quite annoying for some of us)
  • The Diesel ‘Fuel For Life’ TV advert (that dirgey piano bit near the end should be played at Guantanamo Bay)
  • Candy Skulls (didn’t these used to have some gooey pink fondant crap inside? Or is it just us and we’re that old?)
  • Cheap spooky movies at HMV (don’t bother – just watch The X Factor on Saturday, that’s scary enough)
