Clint Eastwood recently was interviewed by Darren Aranofsky at the Tribeca Film Festival. The full video is at the following link:

I was at this. I ended up being able to sit in the front row right in the center! It was great! To be honest I was a bit star struck during Clint's talk, so I came away from it feeling as if Aranofsky wasn't very probing, but for someone less familiar with his career than I am, I think this had a lot of good information. What did everyone else think of Aranofsky's interview?
I did really enjoy hearing Clint's views on technology's use in film and the pros and cons of film and digital, and why he still likes film better. I also thought Clint had a really great sense of humor and an ease and affability that was very attractive. When Aranofsky mentioned that he hoped that Eastwood would still be directing at 105, Eastwood remarked that he would like to do that but "that would be the ultimate optimism." I thought that was really funny. He also had a great line when recounting how, like his mentor Don Siegel, he would often steal suggestions from anyone in the production that had them if they were good. He remarked that "you have to have a criminal mentality to be a film director." Overall, I found the whole experience to be enjoyable. I'd encourage everyone to check this out, and let us all know your impressions
