The 2 John Wayne Western Performances Clint Eastwood Thought Were His Best – My Blog

SUMMARY

 Clint Eastwood believes John Wayne’s best Western performances can be found in his work with director John Ford, particularly “Red River” and “The Searchers.” Eastwood praises Ford for breaking down clichés and giving characters more depth, and applauds Wayne’s ability to convincingly play older characters. Although there was never a feud between Eastwood and Wayne, they came from different generations and never worked together due to their differing views on cinema.

Clint Eastwood believes two of John Wayne’s best Western performances can be found in his work with director John Ford. Eastwood was one of the last movie stars to make his name off the back of Westerns. He claims this was never his intention, but the fact he looked good on a horse meant he lucked his way into TV series Rawhide, which then led to his starring role in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy. Clint Eastwood’s Westerns were largely in contrast to those being produced during Hollywood’s “Golden Age,” and were more violent and cynical.
Eastwood’s anti-heroes tended to shoot first, and they weren’t above cheating or scheming to achieve their aims. Wayne himself wasn’t a fan of the increase in violence the genre experienced during the ’60s and particularly disliked the bloodshed in films like The Wild Bunch. He didn’t seem keen on Eastwood’s work either, which partly explains why the duo never worked together. That didn’t stop Eastwood from being an admirer of Wayne’s work, as he explained during a DGA event in 2011 while discussing John Ford’s classic Stagecoach. Clint Eastwood Thinks John Wayne’s Performances In Red River & The Searchers Were His BestEastwood believes Wayne proved he was a great actor with The Searchers
During this chat with fellow director Paul Schrader (Master Gardener), Eastwood praised the way Ford broke down common clichés of the era and gave his characters more depth. He also spoke of how well Ford used Wayne as an actor, with Eastwood feeling Red River and The Searchers featured John Wayne’s best performances. While Eastwood had some critiques for the former film – feeling it gets bogged down in exposition during the second half – he was impressed by the way Wayne was able to convincingly play a character who was much older than he was during production.Clint reserved his highest praise for Wayne’s acting skills in The Searchers. Many critics feel this 1956 adventure is the best John Wayne/John Ford Western, where the star plays a former soldier who spends years hunting after his kidnapped niece. It’s one of the darkest Westerns of its era, and according to Eastwood “He proved he wasn’t just a movie star but a really good actor.”Why John Wayne And Clint Eastwood Never Worked TogetherClint claims they were from two different generations

Much has been made of an apparent feud between Eastwood and Wayne, but in truth, there doesn’t seem to have been one. There are even photos of the two laughing with each other on the set of The Shootist, Wayne’s final movie. That said, they also came from two different generations, and Wayne wasn’t fond of the direction the new generation was taking cinema. In the aforementioned conversion for the DGA, Eastwood recalls trying to set up a movie for him and Wayne to co-star in called The Hostiles, which didn’t ultimately come together.This Larry Cohen script involved a gambler winning the estate of an older man, with the two then forced to work with each other. Eastwood was earmarked for the gambler role while Wayne would have played the older man, but a combination of the latter not liking Cohen’s screenplay or Eastwood’s High Plains Drifter quickly killed the idea.
The Hostiles later became a 2009 Western TV movie called The Gambler, the Girl and the Gunslinger, starring Dean Cain.
According to Clint, Wayne objected to the way his 1973 Western portrayed the “pioneers” who settled the country, and its use of violence. For his part, Eastwood believes Wayne didn’t get that High Plains Drifter was more of a fable, and not intended to be a serious look at life in the old west.Clint Is Right: The Searchers Is John Wayne’s Best PerformanceClint says The Searchers proves Wayne was more than a movie star

Like most movie stars, Wayne leaned into the persona that audiences liked best. His unique drawl, walk and fighting style are what kept viewers coming back, and while Wayne was never less than a compelling screen presence, it can’t be denied there were many movies where he didn’t exactly stretch himself as a performer. The Searchers is Wayne’s best performance because he not only subverts his heroic persona, he’s plays a more complex figure.
Wayne’s Ethan is a former soldier who has known nothing but violence for over a decade, and his desire to rescue his niece mixed with his hatred for Native Americans has made him a cruel, violent figure. Clint Eastwood feels this was Wayne’s best work as a performer, which is an option shared by the likes of Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and other filmmakers and critics. John Wayne didn’t get to break away from his screen persona often, but The Searchers proved he was capable of tackling much heavier material.

Woman Attempting To Sleep With One Person From Every Country Shares The Worst Nationality In Bed

A woman has opened up about her sexual escapades and which country had the best (and worst) lovers

An adult entertainer who has slept with men from all over the world has spilled the tea on her worst and best lovers (so far).

Adult entertainer Coco Bae has slept with men from over 40 countries and counting.

Some of these include America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, and Coco wants to eventually cover all 195 countries.

As her mission continues, the adult star has been ‘collecting flags’ from each nationality she’s slept with to keep track of her sexual escapades.

“My rules are to count the country on his passport, not where the dude happens to be living at the time of our encounter,” she said.

Listing off the countries she’s ‘visited’ (if you get me), Coco went on to tell PerthNow:

“I’ve had men from America, Canada, the UK, Israel, Australia, Haiti, El Salvador, Holland, Norway, Greece, France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Belize, Djibouti, Nicaragua, Italy, Guatemala, Switzerland and Argentina.”

“And then Honduras, Costa Rica, Thailand, Russia, Columbia? I’m not sure. Albania, Brazil. India, Spain, Peru, Lebanon, Algeria, Croatia, Serbia. Armenia, Scotland, Ukraine and New Zealand.” Impressive.

Coco also answered the question on everyone’s minds: which countries have so far been the best and worst in bed?

According to the adult star, Latinos are the most ‘intense’ in bed.

“My lovers from Brazil were the most enjoyable to be with,” she said.

“They were just up for having fun, whichever way it happens.”

Coco also revealed that men from more conservative countries are quite experimental when it comes to sex.

“Many of the conservative cultures enjoy the most ‘out there’ acts. For example, I have come across many Arab and Indian dudes who really like booty action in various forms,” said Coco.

As for the worst country in bed, apparently her most boring partners have been from Germany.

While they weren’t the best, Coco did praise German men being eager to please and how they apparently ask for feedback.

She also chatted to Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, where she shared what her experiences with Aussie men has been like.

“Australian men need to step it up a little bit,” she shared.

“You’re just not putting in any effort. And you need to wash your hands.”

Speaking of how much she loves a tradesman – a popular vocation in Australia – Coco encouraged guys to make sure they ‘scrub behind their fingernails’.

A fair point, if you ask me.

Kanye West Shares Provocative Video Of Wife Bianca In Bed And Fans Can’t Stop Pointing Out How Big It Is

It’s pretty common for Kanye West to post photos of his wife, Bianca Censori, and for fans to go wild over them.

The ‘Golddigger’ rapper has shared a lot of pictures and videos of his Australian wife.

These range from her daring, barely-there outfits to her strange, all-in-one body stockings.

Kanye is also known for making bold comments to get attention, like speaking out against critics.

Recently, the couple has stirred up even more buzz with a new social media post.

They shared a video from their bedroom, and there’s one detail that fans just can’t stop talking about.

On Instagram, Kanye posted a video showing Bianca lying on a bed surrounded by pillows.

She was dressed in all white, including white heels and a tight-fitting outfit.

It looked like she was on her phone, not paying much attention to Kanye, who was breathing heavily behind the camera.

The fans overlooked Bianca’s outfit and focused on the enormous size of the bed she was on.

It looked twice the size of a Super King bed, with enough room for more than five pillows.

One fan commented, “Bed can fit 5 [families] with 6 individuals.”

Another added, “It’s gotta be a nightmare trying to find a fitted sheet for that!”

A third fan mentioned that the huge bed resembled the one from Kanye’s 2016 music video for ‘Famous’.

Kanye soon deleted the video without giving any reason.

Even though the video is no longer available, Kanye is no stranger to sharing provocative content featuring his wife, whether in revealing outfits or suggestive poses.

Bianca seems to be on board with her husband’s posts.

However, not everyone is thrilled, especially her father, who has previously voiced his concerns about the content.

According to a source speaking to DailyMail.com, Bianca’s father, Leo, has asked Kanye to meet with him to talk about the explicit content being shared.

The source said, “Kanye has been invited to go to Australia, and Bianca is hesitant to allow this to happen because she knows how her father will react.”

“Her dad still plans to have a sit-down with Kanye, and Leo will not be intimidated by Kanye’s power or control. No one is expecting this to be all rainbows and family portraits.”

Despite this, Bianca is reportedly more than happy to go along with her husband’s ideas.

An insider told PageSix, “People are confusing Bianca’s creativity. She is a phenomenal personality, a phenomenal actor, who can entertain the public.”

“She’s a performance artist. Bianca is as much a performer as Ye is.”

Bianca and Kanye have been married since 2022, following Kanye’s high-profile split and divorce from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Kanye has four children with Kim: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

Singer turns 58, people barely recognize Samantha Fox

If you are someone who was attuned to the celebrity scene in the 1980s, then you might remember Samantha Fox. She started out as a model, and by the end, her career had led to her becoming a musician.

While she was incredibly famous at one point, she is not in the mainstream these days. She was at one point the most photographed woman in the UK.

Keep reading to learn more about it.

From days when she was a staple on page 3 to then becoming a globally recognized music star, Samantha Fox is still loved by millions around the world. She was born in North London on April 15, 1966. She was born to parents were Carole Fox and Patrick Fox. She had a younger sister named Vanessa, who sadly passed away in 2023.

Her mother, Carole Ann was an actress, and father, John Patrick was a carpenter. They were married from 1965 to 1988. Her mother passed away 2013, while her father passed in 2000.

Samantha Fox began her career when she entered a modeling competition when she was 16 years old. Her mother entered her in the Sunday People’s ‘Face and Shape of 1983’ competition. She ended up being one of the finalists, and the photographer was impressed by her ‘unusual’ proportions and natural beauty.

He said, “face of a child and the body of a woman”, and told her to do some topless shots. She agreed, and that lead to her becoming a regular Page 3 girl in The Sun newspaper from 1983 to 1986.

In the 1980s, she was one of the most photographed people in the UK, and in 1986, she began her music career.

She debuted with her single Touch Me (I Want Your Body) which helped her shoot to fame. She then released more songs like Naughty Girls and more all of which only increased her celebrity. In her personal life, she had her fair share of problems, including a legal battle with her father over mismanagement of her earnings.

Despite all of the issues in her personal life, she wanted to make sure she still released music throughout it. She was always a big advocate for the LGBTQIA+, having married Linda Olsen in 2022. Now at 58 years old, she is still busy in her career.

Over the years she has had several transformations. Her talent has helped her persevere and reinvent herself. Samantha Fox initially started out as a model with a provocative image.

She remained active in the 1980s and 1990s. Apart from her music, she has made appearances in films and TV shows. She also participated in reality TV over the years.

Her father oversaw her career until she found out that he had taken more than £1 million from her income. She decided to pursue legal action against him in 1991. She won the lawsuit in 1995 and received a settlement of £363,000. The two of them never reconciled and he passed away in 2000.

In 1988, she received a nomination for Best British Female Artist at the Brit Awards. She collaborated with other artists which include the legends Freddie Mercury. She is even working on music now, releasing her latest album in 2023 produced by Ian Masterson.

She married her Norwegian wife, Linda Olsen in 2022 in a ceremony in Essex. The couple had been engaged since February 2020. They met at a concert and Olsen was a fan of the singer. They now live together in East London with Olsen’s son Adam and their two pet cats.

Before marrying Olsen, the singer had dated many people which included men and women. She dated the infamous Peter Foster in the 1980s but did not accept his proposal. She publicly came out as gay in 2003. At the time she made her relationship with then-manager Myra Stratton public. The couple were together for 16 years until Stratton passed due to cancer in 2015.

Samantha Fox later revealed she knew she was gay but did not want to admit it because of the stigma surrounding it.

Fox has said that she knew she was gay before meeting Stratton, but she was afraid to admit it because of the stigma and the pressure from the media.

She described herself as a “very happy woman” who is “very much in love” with Olsen.

It is wonderful to see how Samatha Fox is doing these days. Share this with other fans of the singer so they can see what she has been up to.
