Go ahead, punk, mark down June 4 on your calendar, because that’s when Warner Home Video is releasing The Clint Eastwood 40 Film Collection ($ 179.98) . . . or just pre-order and forget about the calendar business, that works too.
Also announced is The Clint Eastwood 20 Film Collection ($ 129.95), which has a couple of advantages over the 40 film collection, the primary one being that the 40 film collection is on DVD and the 20 film collection is on Blu-ray. However, it’s also worth noting that the 20 film collection is mostly sure-fire hits (like Unforgiven, Mystic River, and the criminally underrated Gran Torino), and the 40 film collection includes flops like Pink Cadillac. However, both collections include Eastwood’s adventures with an orang-utan in Every Which Way but Loose, which just goes to show that there are compromises in life. Horrible, horrible compromises.
