[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1031612, member: 17767"] 1. Think about this 3way. Sit Clint down at a table with a patch over his eye playing cards with a chinaman and think how silly he would be. Wayne did that in True Grit and was endearing and funny at that. 2. Put Clint with Robert Mitchum in El Dorado and have him put a Winchester over his shoulder and swagger down the street. He would look silly. You can go on and on. Think about Searchers. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Red River etc. Eastwood is not more versatile, he is less versatile in my opinion. IMPORTANT: Whayne could interact with another actor. Eastwood cannot. Eastwood can confront or intimidate, etc. That is what made him. But in no role I can remember could he interact. For example, Whayne could play with a sidekick like Walter Brennan and not seem goofy. When Eastwood plays it has to be as a dominant independant. He has not skill to seem real when he really has to act. Like someone said, he had good scripts, but they are basically all the same. A dominant, independant force. He never was able to share the screen. He tried, i.e., what ever that goofy movie was with Burt Reynolds. And in the Oranutang movies he had a side kick of sorts but those could not be compared to Whaynes numerous side kicks like Walter Brennan, etc. Think about Eastwood in White Hunter, Black heart trying to be John Huston. As Bigfort said he looked goofy. And I loved those spagetti movies when they came out and I saw them the first time in a theater. But I cannot even sit for 5 minutes on one now. Like Bigfoot, they are so goofy. I like Hang Em High, Wales, Unforgiven. Other than that t is hard to watch Eastwood reruns. Wayne on the other hand, I can still watch a lot of them. [/QUOTE]
