REGARDING THE ARCHIVE
OK, thanks for all the negative responses in regards to Photo Opportunity #75 _ it has now been removed. It's funny, because I began the Archive (and in particular - Photo Opportunity) in order to try and bring fans something ‘new’ - and I have on numerous occasions - but you know what, the compliments and positive responses in comparison to the negative comments - which people are so quick to jump on, is becoming a bit tiresome. I was discussing with a close friend this morning (from my hospital bed) if it was really worth continuing? It feels like AI has really fucked up the world, I was never a fan of it, and it appears to have stripped away all integrity in determining if something is genuine or not? I'm proud that I've never posted junk on the archive - I've turned down invites from TV companies around the world because they've simply wanted to focus on 'how many affairs' or ‘how many kids Clint has' - fuck off, I'm not interested....
I've contributed to half a dozen good books and a very good documentary - that's fine with me. But I'm not happy with the state of technology - it's good, and it's clever - but how on earth can legitimacy be relied upon again?
I thought about finishing it all on the archive - and discussed it this morning. However, I came to the conclusion that from here on, it will be utilising material that I know is 100% genuine, stuff that was gathered and collected long before this AI shit took hold. So there may be a Photo Opportunity every month, but try not to moan if it is something you've seen before - I've given up trying to source new(old) material. Thank 'technology' for that one.
Yes, I know I made a typo with white rocks and white sands - I’m surviving on a couple of hours sleep a night and on Dialysis days I get absolutely NO sleep at all - but I continue to make the effect in order to present something for the 'fans'. YES I had all the same concerns about the star, the clapperboard, the belt buckle - do people really think I wouldn't? But I went with it - at worse I thought it may have been a stand-in for the Eastwood / Dern fight scene? I made a decision, and stand crucified for it.
Anyway, expect much less in future, I really don't have time for this shit anymore.

Mate..you do a wonderful job on here so try to ignore the negative twats who obviously don't appreciate what you are doing.
You have over 3.5 million views so you can't be all that bad.
I love coming on here and reading anything Clint that you have wrote about.
Hope you your out of hospital soon and are feeling better.
Please keep on doing your amazing work on the site.
Opinions are like arseholes..everybody has one.
