With spectacular performances by Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld and Matt Damon, the visually stunning film has already claimed nominations from the Critics' Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild for categories including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Jeff Bridges) and Best Supporting Actress Hailee Steinfeld.
Steinfeld's talent nearly stole the show. Her breakthrough performance mirrors her role in the film, in which the young thespian holds her own against Bridges and Damon. She certainly is one to watch this award season and beyond for what looks like the beginning of a promising career.
The entire cast was truly flawless (though it is in the tradition of the Coen brothers productions where anyone would struggle to recall a scene with bad

Like many people, I too was not enthused to hear of remaking True Grit. But when I heard the Coens were going to be doing it, that peaked my interest. I’ve loved all of their movies, No Country being about the best I’ve seen in years. There are only a handful of films I will willingly of my own accord make the trek to the multiplex to see. Lord of the Rings was one. This will be another.
Don’t mean to be technical, but...”Bank of America Corporation was formed in the 1998 merger of NationsBank Corporation and BankAmerica Corporation.”

The 3rd in the Narnia series.
Ahh..
Ok. I never read those.
That was the last one I really had to see in the theater!
LOTR trilogy.
Oh, you should. Very well written. Or, watch the first two, then go and see the third. Well worth watching. Very well done.
Didnt Lewis Carol write those?
Deaf Smith:
Maybe in New Yawk during that period.
Even up to 1985, good luck finding a bank premise ATM in west or east Texas. Or even any rural Texas town.
Yeah, here in rural North Calif, we didn't have ATMS until the early 1990s.
No, C.S Lewis.
That is what I meant. Doh!
Oh, Whataburger for lunch tomorrow.
FRmail, Sir.
Woody Harrelson’s character was a visitor to the area no? If he were even from a bigger town in Texas, Houston or Dallas say, it would not be strange for him to have something we all agree existed right?
Not every part of the country gets the latest technologly at the same time. No internet of any kind here until 1997, no cable TV until 1987, and no Versatel, ATM or whatever you want to call it until the early ‘90s.
Ask your daddy if he had a ATM card in 1980 Oklahoma or even knew what one was.
And don't tell me it was from Bank of America (did not exist).
My card says customer since 1980. BankAmericard was piloted in Fresno. My grandfather used the scaffolding timbers from the Bank of Italy (forerunner of Bank of America) for foundation supports for the house he built. Just random thoughts, pay no mind.
Yes, I have a account at BofA and they scratch their heads when I tell them I have been customer for over 40 years...Same building, just many mergers from the original State Bank.
Not to be technical. s/
Well your right about all of the mergers. Many smaller banks have been eaten up by bigger ones over the years, it is indeed hard to trace them all. My father banked at Security Pacific Bank. They are no more, who knows who bought it out. The only other major bank still around from then is Wells Fargo.
And don't tell me it was from Bank of America (did not exist).
Funny how a thread about the movie True Grit turned into an ATM/bank thread, but are you claiming that Bank of America did not exist in 1980?
