She had finished her homework and wanted a change of pace. I gave up the idea of cleaning up my office. (Tough decision that) and looked up what movies were in town. I saw that Eastwood&#8217;s Sully was here and checked Rotten Tomatoes to see how the critics and audience rated it. 84% approval is usually a tip off for a good movie. I did note one sour critique, to wit:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sully is fascinating as a study of Eastwood&#8217;s persecution complex, his fear that not everyone in the world adequately worships an accomplished white man.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I once <a href=\"http:\/\/lincolndemocrat.com\/?p=7353\">panned Clint Eastwood<\/a> for his performance at the 2012 GOP National Presidential Nominating Convention. It ticked me off as much as it appalled Mitt Romney who is frankly a nice guy. Its pretty tame stuff by Donald Trump&#8217;s standards and it obviously still sticks in some people&#8217;s craw today.<\/p>\n<p>We went and enjoyed the movie very much. Ironically Sully&#8217;s demeanor reminded me of Barack &#8220;No drama&#8221; Obama&#8217;s demeanor. I don&#8217;t care if an old white guy does something heroic and Eastwood did him justice. I think we should all celebrate a fine movie. <\/p>\n<p>I was about to write that as far as I knew Eastwood hadn&#8217;t said anything good about Trump then I thought better of it. Easy enough to Google. Well, I guess Clint <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-usa-election-clinteastwood-idUSKCN10F21C\">still has it in for President No Drama<\/a>. Pity that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Claudia suggested a movie today. She had finished her homework and wanted a change of pace.
