Clints character should be blamed too


the fact that this was the 70's and the sexual revolution was goin on, everyone sleeping with everyone, i seriously think its just totally irresponsible of clint to be haveing quickies with all these women just cuz hes a DJ and knows he can. then hes surprised when he basically bangs and leaves this woman who he burned. i actually felt more bad for eveyln then i did clint, i was in a way hopeing she'd get his cheating ass. why wouldnt he want to be with someone not only beautiful, but so dedicated? i'd love if a woman felt that way towards me. its hard enough getting someone to love you, and she really deeply loved him and i bet would have given him lotsa children and always loved him him he let her. but noooo he just a sleazebag and bangsem quick and moves son. clints character was a jerk and deserved what he got.

Yeah, that's somewhat true. Look at "The Beguiled", for one excellent example!

Reminiscent of the quote, "I'm not going to be IGNORED Dan!".

A cautionary tale, men. (And women).

One of the Dirty Harry movies (The Enforcer?)
featured a female rookie cop (played by Tyne Daly) who was a brave and admirable character.





"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

Yeah, Dave's excuse for his serial infidelities was that Toby always had a roommate so they had no privacy. Jeez, Dave, you have your own HOUSE and can afford a motel room if you want. That was a weakness in the story. Not only that, but he continues to sleep with Evelyn when it's obvious that she's a psycho.






"Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

reply

That wasn't an excuse for his infidelities, he was just annoyed when Tobie got yet another room-mate.

reply

You're joking, right? You want to be in a relationship with an obsessive person? You want to live in a prison of guilt and depression? You realize that if you're with someone like that, that all you'd have to do is be in the same room as an attractive person and they'll go crazy on you accusing you of looking and thinking about being with them. That's not exactly a healthy relationship. If that's what you are looking for in a woman, someone who will do anything at all costs to be with you, including lying, manipulating, and endangering everyone else in your world, then you are a seriously pathetic person.

The post started out half sane (Dave Garver borrows trouble by sleeping around), then rambled off the cliff.

Please put some dashes above your sig line so I won't think it's part of your dumb post.

I was more disturbed by Clint's Ape-like arms and gait in this film.
Caveman-esque.

i can see most of the posts here are probably ex hippies who still think free love (correction: free sex) is acceptable bahvior. if one cant be with someone in a serious relationship where love is involved, one shouldn't be sleeping around with every broad on the planet. I am a man and I just don't agree at all with this sleazy behavior. no matter what you all think, when you sleep with someone in an intimate way, you are becoming emotionally attached as well as physically. to just sleep with someone and move on to someone else, you must be a very cold emotionless person. that's the feeling I got with clint. there was no hero in this movie, evelyn was a psycho, yes, but you still wind up feeling more bad for her and I found myself sideing with her.

Realism, Remakes and Unnecessary Sequels are ruining movies!

Because you're a crazy person!!

You are wrong - people can have whatever relationships they like with each other as long as they are honest about what they are looking for in the interaction.

reply

Haha! OP, this is the funniest post I've ever read. You're obviously a bitter hag if you truly believe what you posted here. Oh, your post indicates you're a man but I have serious doubts about that being the case.

His "cheating ass"? Over someone he was not even with? Yeah, okay. You sound like a typical, angry, ball breaking, man-hating woman.

She didn't love him-- she was obsessed with him. Big difference. Love means you want the other person to be happy-- NOT that "If I can't have you, no-one can" mentality. If you love someone, you don't stalk them and storm into a business lunch they're having and stab their maid. She didn't even really know him when she was saying she loved him-- they'd only been together once or twice! Plus, he was up-front with her about his feelings, and said he was only interested in a fling, and she said ok, then proceeded to ruin his life. He shouldn't have slept with her after she brought him the stuffed dog, and he was kindof a selfish jerk, but once he committed to Tobie he didn't seem to intend to sleep around anymore..
