I would not say that I am THAT young at 36 but I would say Eastwood is more an actor my parents really like. I would say for me, I would rather watch John Cusack, Matt Damon, or Christian Bale. I will say that Eastwood has directed some great movies.

Hey, we have Eva Longoria coming to our convention! At least she looks better. Might get my husband to actually watch the RNC with me.
