WHS Gives Gran Torino "Triple Threat Award"

Washington, DC. In an unprecedented move the founding members of WHS have crowned Clint Eastwood's new masterpiece with the "Triple Threat Award of 2008" for Best Movie, Actor and Song.

After a packed screening in Georgetown WHS blog founders lauded Clint's moving portrayal of "Walt Kawalski" - an unbelievably racist Polish man caught in the middle of a Detroit gang war between Hmong neighbors (referred to by Walt as "swamp rats, gooks, zipperheads, dragon ladies, fish heads and dog eaters among many other epithets") - as perhaps the greatest performance of his career.

Most surprising however, award for Best Song of 2008 was also handed out to Clint Eastwood for "Tribute Gran Torino." When the song and Eastwood's raspy voice blasted over the Dolby Surround Sound speakers in the final scene, Blog members were shocked and moved to tears.



WHS would like to extend its congratulations to Mr. Eastwood and his family.

UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY ALERT - LEVEL RED: Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino"

WHS has posted this urgent advisory for Clint Eastwood's "Gran Torino". The advisory has been classified as a RED ALERT, meaning the threat to Eastwood's legacy is severe, and that a WHS field trip to the Court Street 12 is mandatory.

Note that he says "get off my lawn". This may be a tribute to Harrison Ford's disgracefully hilarious "get off my plane" from "Air Force One" (clip follows Eastwood trailer).

"Get Off My Lawn!"


"Get Off My Career!"


The We Has Spoken Alert System:
RED (severe): guaranteed career-spoiling unintentional comedy, theater attendance is required on opening weekend
