i watched a DVD this afternoon, it was 'clint eastwood, out of the shadows'. this documentary was a recent purchase from half price books. this is the first of five discs that i recently bought. morgan freeman served as narrator. not all of eastwood's movies are covered, but the hits were. this doc was released in 2000, so it made sense that the most recent movie covered was 'space cowboys'. i was living in suburban chicago then and recall how a reviewer called it 'grumpy old astronauts'. i did like how a decent amount was mentioned about getting into directing. this was due to working with don siegel, who directed 'coogan's bluff'. i do recall renting 'play misty for me', the first film eastwood directed, many years ago. in the scene index, it listed the 'spaghetti westerns' as the 'leone trilogy' and 'every which way but loose' as 'monkeyshines'. i am thankful i found this doc, but we all know i like documentaries and biopics. i did watch some of the NFL playoff games of the day. due to watching the disc first it meant the first game i 'joined in progress'. eagles beat the rams in the first, and bills beat the ravens in the second. i fell asleep for a little while after the first game ended, and it was halftime when i started watching the second game. it is subzero weather again so i didn't want to be outside for long. during my walk i found 75 cents.
