CLINT EASTWOOD – Schindler Sez

September 12, 2014 Jim Schindler

The only time you have to worry what someone thinks of you is if they’re paying your bills.

Clint
One of my favorite movie stars is Clint Eastwood. He has always been his own man who thinks for himself. He has never been like the other “me too sycophant stars” who want so badly to be a part of the Hollywood crowd and fit in, that they are afraid to follow their own path.

Clint is now 84, and can you believe that since he has turned 70, he has directed 12 movies?
When asked how he does it at his age, he said, “I just never let the old man in.”

The Real Poop
The Mayor of San Marino, California, Dennis Kneier, was caught on tape tossing a bag of dog waste into the yard of a political rival. The surrounding residents thought that crap smeared their image. They raised such an uproar that he was forced to resign. And that’s the real poop on this stink’n story.

Only in America
Only in America…can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by worrying that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

Ripley Delivers Film Noir Thrills ~ At The Movies With Kasey
I do not generally find war movies appealing, so a film about the violent end of American democracy was a hard sell.

Be Careful When Naming Beneficiaries
You might not have thought much about beneficiary designations — but they can play a big role in your estate planning. When you purchase insurance policies and open investment accounts, such as your IRA, you’ll be asked to name a beneficiary, and, in some cases, more than one. This might seem easy, especially if you have ...
These Strong Female Leads Grapple With Ethics ~ At The Movies With Kasey
On the heels of Women’s History Month, a string of movies dropped that tell the stories of women making changes, both political and personal.
