Other notes

- Unless a question specifies otherwise, answers should be given for Clint Eastwood theatrical releases ONLY. No TV shows or TV appearances should apply here.

- I plan on taking up to 30 players, so once we get close to filling I’ll close things off (if you snooze, you lose).

Here are your questions...

03. R: Clint doesn't always star in the movies he directs. Name a movie directed by Clint Eastwood in which Eastwood is NOT an actor.

05. S: Clint likes to hire his friends a lot as well. Name an actor/actress who has appeared in two or more Clint Eastwood movies (Note: for purposes of this question, Clyde the orangutan is NOT an acceptable answer).

06. R: Clint's played a lot of cops. Name a cop Clint has played that's NOT Harry Callahan.

07. S: He never said "I'll be back," but Clint's characters are known for their memorable lines. What's Eastwood's most memorable movie quote?

Great questions!

I will be submitting my typically crappy answers later today.

Sending mine soon!

I tried filling these out, but I realized I was in over my head when I got to question #6. I'm more of a casual fan who watches Eastwood films if I see them flipping through channels on television. I don't have enough good knowledge built up to answer these.

Answers sent. I don't think I'll do well but it's fun playing.

Since Clint did a lot of westerns...I'm in!

Sheep games have become too esoteric for me lately.

Me too, but I'm submitting anyway. There needs to be people on the bottom too.

Does the actor in #14 have to have been in an Eastwood directed film, or just a film Eastwood has acted in?

Wow, think these are great questions...going to try and fill this one out tomorrow.

Sent.

A really great batch of questions.

I'm in...a fistful of answers sent!

I'll send my answers later tonight.

Crocker Jarmen - You have mail (need a clarification on one of your answers, if possible).

RagingBull80 - You also have a clarification email.

The actor (or actress) in #14 can be in EITHER an Eastwood-directed or Eastwood-starring film (or obviously both if it's an Eastwood-directed movie that Eastwood also stars in).

Answers sent in.

I liked the questions, although I had problems with two of them and I won't say what answers I gave.

#19, his funniest one-liner, was difficult because I couldn't offhand remember anything that was particularly funny--and I didn't want to break the rules by looking up any quotes. I eventually remembered four: one was funny only in retrospect; one had elicited only chuckles when I saw it in a theater; one had gotten a good laugh; and one had gotten a big laugh--each of the many times I saw it. So I went with the last and hope others will remember it that way, since it was a sheep question.

#15 was the only question I would take issue with. Eastwood probably worked with fewer leading ladies than any comparable star of his stature in Hollywood history. I honestly could think of only two beautiful actresses Eastwood has worked with in all his decades as a leading man and both worked with him long before most of you were born. I went with the one I thought of first, although I doubt anyone else would pick her, even though it's a sheep question.

I had trouble with that one as well.

Ash - You have mail.

Here's a list of who's in the game so far. If I don't have you listed (as of the time of this posting), I may have missed your answers.

Unless a ton of people sign up tomorrow, we may hold off the start until Monday - I'd rather not do this on a weekend. If we're still under the limit come Sunday, I'll close the submissions at some point and just use the players who have signed-up.

Thanks to those who have joined the game.

I'm in. I'll get answers in after the hockey game.

For #6, does "cop" mean local police or any law enforcement person?

Answers sent.

I'm a big Eastwood fan, but it may work against me here. I tried to put down answers I think would be the sheepiest, but I'm not sure how much the average person knows about some of his movies, so I could be way off.

Looking forward to results!

I also struggled with no. 6. Mainly because the Dirty Harry series is so iconic.

No. 19 was also a struggle because some of his best lines aren't really funny when taken out of the context of the movies.

nevertheless, I'm a big Eastwood fan, which means that I will be a serious contender for last place.
