Sorry don't get it done, Dude.
Pretty tough talk for a one-eyed fat man.
The Duke left some might big shoes to fill.....I don’t know if anyone could....However from the Advertisements I’ve seen it looks like The Dude...did pretty good job as does Matt Damon....I will give it the benefit of the doubt even though I know they are both HUGE lefties!
That Bridges family, weren’t they all commies. I know the old man was in the forties.
I said the same thing regarding Daniel Craig before seeing Casino Royale. I’ll keep an open mind.
I’m a diehard Duke fan. Always have been. I’ve spent a small forture buying the DVDs of every Duke movie I can get my hands on. I’m looking forward to seeing the new True Grit movie. Thanks for the review.
Not at all, and I’m a great fan of Wayne.
I am looking forward to seeing this. Bridges is on a roll recently, and I understand the young lady does a fantastic job.
My favorite Wayne movie is The Shootist, he was both “John Wayne” the icon in it, as well as John Wayne the man.
“Submitted in the sure knowledge that I will be called a heretic.”
Nah, not from me, anyway. Bridges is a darn fine actor, and the Coen Brothers rarely make a bad film.
Besides (joining the heretic club here), as much as I love John Wayne, I just don’t think the original True Grit was one of his better films. Wayne was fine, as always, but Kim Darby was too old for her part, and Glen Campbell...is a better country singer than he is an actor. :-)
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 agree with the other poster about Glen Campbell. I didn't like him in the film.
BTW - Anyone else get the feeling that Indians were not well liked?
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.
Sorry don't get it done, Dude.
Saw it last night. Powerful, great filmsking. Brilliant in every category. 5 stars.
But I luuuuves me some Glen Campbell so no way will Damon be better! lol ;o)
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.
Have not seen it. I saw the previews, and I was appalled that someone was remaking the movie. Might give it a try....maybe
