"Dirty Harry" actor Clint Eastwood says if Michael Moore ever shows up at his door with a camera, he will kill the controversial movie director. Eastwood stunned a New York filmmaking audience with his comments, the New York Daily News' Lloyd Grove reported today in his must-read column.

"Michael Moore and I actually have a lot in common - we both appreciate living in a country where there's free expression," Eastwood was quoted as telling the National Board of Review awards dinner in New York Tuesday night. With a cold glare Eastwood took notice of Moore sitting in the audience and said bluntly and without a smile: "But, Michael, if you ever show up at my front door with a camera - I'll kill you."

The Daily News reports the audience erupted in laughter and Eastwood grinned. "I mean it," Eastwood said again.

One of the few Republicans in Hollywood, Eastwood once served as mayor of Carmel, Calif. Eastwood made his comments while accepting the Special Filmmaking Achievement prize for "Million Dollar Baby."

Moore was said to be in the rear of the audience when Eastwood made his biting remarks. Moore also won the group's "Freedom of Expression" award for his Bush-bashing "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Apparently, Moore has not taken kindly to death threats in the past. The News notes that last year "Moore was outraged when CNN anchor Bill Hemmer suggested during an interview that some folks might want to see him dead."

"Can you think of any other interview in the history of television where a politician or a movie director was asked about people wanting to see him dead?" Moore was quoted as saying.

Moore may have lightened up a bit. His agent told the News, "Michael laughed along with everyone else, and took Mr. Eastwood's comments in the lighthearted spirit in which they were given."

Still, we hope Michael Moore won't put Eastwood to the test and show up at his door with a camera.
 
Ha! Beat you to it, check the sig line.

The most entertaining news story I've read in a long time by far.
 
For proper effect, it should be like this....

[Josie Wales voice]If you ever show up at my front door with a camera - I'll kill you. I mean it.[/Josie Wales voice]
 
Hmmm...

I DO like Clint Eastwood's work.....but if it were any of US who said something like that, joking or not ,we'd probably get investigated bigger than hell...... I guess if you got millions of bucks, tho.... :banghead:
 
*sends anonymous note to MM that Bush will be holding an all-you-can-eat banquet at Eastwood's address*

:evil:

Gotta love the guy, though I agree that we probably couldn't get away with it.
 
I thought Eastwood was a Libertarian? :confused:

I remember hearing on the radio a few years back when he was in Washington lobbying against some gun law.
 
".....and I'll kill your wife and your kids and your dogs and cats and then I'll burn your house down..." Loosely quoted from whatever the heck that movie was where CE went to kill the boys that cut up the prostitute, just after he put the magilla on Gene Hackman the sheriff.
 
I was channel surfing the other night a caught a few minutes of Jimmy Kimmel. Larry the Cable Guy was in the hot seat and Mikey Moore was sitting on the sofa. Larry turned to Mikey and said; "I got a lot a friends that wanna kick your ASS!"

I about fell out of my chair laughing.

lol

I would have too.
 
Clint Eastwood isn't a conservative, a liberal or a libertarian.

He belongs to the WGFG party: What's Good For Clint.

He's soft on gun issues, wishy-washy on other issues of concern to liberarians and/or conservatives, and generally doesn't go out of his way to protect any of the above.

Enjoy his movies, but don't expect him to come riding to the rescue for you.
 
Give 'em Hell Clint! There is no celebrity liberal I despise more then Michael Moore (save Mumia, but he's in a different classification).

I need to watch my fav Eastwood movie again soon (Heartbreak Ridge).
