hate is probably too strong a word for what I feel for sean connery - distaste is more appropriate, and for that singular reason we all know of:
got into a discussion w/some pals about scottish accents and happened across this beaut.
its unfortunate, but he does such great movies.
which brings to another discussion: Clint Eastwood. Me? I'm a longtime fan of the brash old geezer, and I'm fully aware that Clint is a man lacking in any modicum of political correctness (this is my nice way of putting it), but then again, I havent seen Gran Torino yet. Apparently, I am told, he goes all out offensive in this film.
It reminds me of the rape scene in High Plains Drifter, and kind of makes you wonder whether Clint, too, would hit a woman. I mean really hit a woman, and in RL.
I kind of think he would, and that bothers me. If he wouldnt then he and Sean would seem to be opposites: Sean playing these thoughtful and inspired old men (or in old days sexy woman-loving young men), and in RL hitting women; and Clint playing these hard-bitten, racist, raping wife-beaters, and in RL not willing to lift a finger to hurt a woman.
who knows?

Not to worry, though - I still like Clint, and I imagine that it really is just the era they are from.
