Heretic ! (well you asked for it)
Only John Wayne can say, “Damn Texican, saved my live twice. And once when he was dead”.
For me, watching this remake would be like sacrificing my first born. Never will happen.
Why can't people just let the great thing be? For example, would you like to see a new version of the “Statue of Liberty”? Or how about the country's Flag?
Nope, not me. Leave a good thing alone.
Hey Mariner, I'm pleased that the movie remake brought you enjoyment. However, for me, a true-blue True Grit fan, I feel insulted that Bollywood would do this.
No hard feelings. RedShawk.

I've only seen the trailer but if anybody could play the part of Rooster Cogburn other than John Wayne it's Bridges.
I agree with the other poster about Glen Campbell. I didn't like him in the film.
To: Mariner
I watched the movie last night! LOVED this version.
BTW - Anyone else get the feeling that Indians were not well liked?

“My favorite Wayne movie is The Shootist, he was both John Wayne the icon in it, as well as John Wayne the man.”
One of my favorites too. Ron Howard was once asked “What do you regard as your best Hollywood experience?” His answer was simply “Appearing in a movie with John Wayne.” I think Wayne had a special effect on actors, even those as liberal as Ron Howard and Henry Fonda. Wayne was an mans’ man, a foavorite of many leading ladies and perhaps the greatest conservative, save maybe Reagan.

Too bad Ron Howard had to be in it.He was still a punk then, not a full fledged libtard. Scatman Crothers more than made up for him.

We agree:)
In fact, I can't think of a Western I liked better and that's my favorite genre.

I'm just tired of all the remakes. The world needs The Alamo 6, King Kong 15, Rocky 23, etc.
Like reality tv, as long as they can just do remakes Hollywood loves it. It costs hardly anything in time or money to regurgitate trash. Creativity is what costs money.

Talked me into it, but I don’t go to theaters, ever. I just can’t stand the rudeness. And this from a film maker and producer (www.rockinthewall.com). BTW, just saw Jeff Bridges in a interesting movie called “the Door in the Floor.” Pretty obscure, but as usual, he’s great.

Got a man crush on Daniel Craig as 007. Absolutely great. In many ways, better than Connery.

I saw it at the drive-in...where all great American movies should be first screened:)
Took a little nip and some corn dodgers with me. $7 per person.

“Good God girl, that's a Colt Stragoon”.
“...no no...we'll camp here...Just checking for signs..)
Hey Mariner: His wife in the movie was...? If you give, I tell ya.

best quotes:
In “Lewbowski”, “The Dude abides.”
In “Grit”, His ex-wife once told him, “A love of decency does not abide in you.”
My ex still says that about me many years later.

Feel free to spend your money however you wish - there's no heresy in that.
But since I see the movie has both Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, I don't think I'll be sending any of my greenbacks their way.
