Then the movie that the turd in question here describes as "sucking" was nominated for 10 (ten!) Academy Awards and 8 (eight) British Academy of Film Awards and NUMEROUS other awards as well as these.
Add to that the fact that "I" actually (to my great surprise and pleasure!) enjoyed the Jeff Bridges version of True Grit more than the original film.
So, thats the "SO" there nutsacktroller - you ought to try to keep your ignorance a bit more of a secret - but I guess that would be impossible for a self described TURD?
Sheesh.

Now that WAS quite a treat from the silver screen.

We're screwed because a remake of one of the classics doesn't live up to expectations? If so, then we're really, really screwed.


You're right, smokepole. We're screwed, period. frown

"Can't hardly stand the sound of that whiny little gal in the original."

Me too. I kept hoping Wayne would haul off and knock her on her ass.

I din't know there was another version of Grit with Warren Oates. I'll have to chase that one down. I do have copies of the one with Wayne and with Bridges. Like them both.

I have all three copies of King Kong. Love the first one. As kid I though Faye Wray was hot, even with her phony Mayfair accent all Hollywood females were suppose to talk with. The second while watchable was really a stinker. The third added back scenes that were deleted from the original, mainly where they all fell into that canyon and got eaten up my nasty critters. The original directors were right if removing them. Naomi Watts made watching that one a pleasure.

Not really. There were a number of scenes in True Grit II that were not in Portis' book. I.e, the entire bit of the hanging man in the tree, the "wild" man scene, etc.

Of course, in True Grit I, some of that was created through the imagination of the screenwriter. I.e., the Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf (Glen Campbell), was not killed, but after the fighting was over and Rooster had taken Mattie away for medical help, recovered the corpse of Tom Chaney from the pit of rattlesnakes and took it back to Texas.

That's just the way things are done in Hollywood. No need to try and make sense of it. grin

Fascinating.


The word always reminds me of a joke. Each day, the teacher had a "word of the day", and she would call on a student to use the word of the day in a sentence. She learned right off, she couldn't trust little Johnny, because he would always use the word in a "dirty" sentence. So she had to be careful about calling on him. Well one day, the word was fascinate. She thought to herself that Johnny couldn't really do much with fascinate, so she called on him. "Johnny, can you use the word fascinate, in a sentence", she asked. "I sure can" said Johnny. "My parents bought my sister a beautiful sweater that has 10 buttons on it, for Christmas. But, her phokeing tits are so big, she can only fasten 8. See you Monday, teacher".

I watched In Harms Way last night.
Another great John Wayne movie!
I thought True Git II was ok.
I liked Jeff Bridges in Thunderbolt and Lightfoot also.

Never read the book, "True Grit". And I watched John Wayne portray "Rooster" several times before I saw him in "True Grit".

John Wayne is the definitive "Rooster" to me. Anyone else attempting to play the part makes for a damned poor substitute.

And I loved Kim Darby as the spoiled little rich girl standing up and becoming a woman to do her duty as she saw it.

I finally watched the Jeff Bridges version of "True Grit" when it came out at Red Box. I was sorely disappointed in the film, but then, I had expected to be.

I don't think I have ever agreed with the critics on any film. That should not be any surprise, as I view films from a very different perspective than the critics. The critics are, as a group, priviliged, liberal, elitest ass holes. Just like the actors, producers, and directors.

I really enjoyed the remake and appreciate Hollywood doing good westerns. Westerns are rare these days and I'd really like to see more of them so I'll try to support them for their westerns rather then run them down. 👍

The Searchers



I like The Searchers, and Red River, but to me , no movie personifies John Wayne like Hondo. Its only downfall is it was made during the 3D movie craze of the 50's. I guess people knock it because its not a John Ford Directed Western.

"The Searchers" is my favorite John Wayne Movie! And John Ford new how to film & direct, too.
If you ever get a chance to see Monument Valley up close and in person, it is unbelievably huge, and well worth the trip!!!

Yeah, it was different, like quueerr. Now that we agree, GFY. wink
