I think the remake, while a good film, comes out inferior to the original. Nothing against the actors, but Bridges delivers his lines in a mushy, drunken accent that makes him funny but very difficult to understand. I don't think Damon improves on Glen Campbell at all - and there was a lot of room for improvement. Plus the original had Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, and Strother Martin.

Nothing wrong with the new one - go and see it. Especially if you've never seen the original. But I think The Duke did it better...

“But I think The Duke did it better...”

I’m sure Al Bundy agrees with you!

I got a fence post that can act better than Glen Campbell! I saw the original in 1969 and lost the girl I was going to marry because I said some things about Glen Campbell!

That may be the most cruel thing anyone's ever said about Matt Damon.

I thought Robert Duval was a much better Lucky Ned Pepper than the current, Barry Pepper. But how can you compare anyone to Robert Duval, even the early Robert Duval in a relatively small character role (one of the reasons the follow-ups to Lonesome Dove didn't resonate, IMHO, was that who else could be believed as Augustus McRae?). And yes Dennis Hopper did register much more strongly as the doomed Moon.
