  • True Grit remake? Really?

    So now, in true "we don't have any new ideas anymore" Hollywood fashion, they decide it's OK to fuck with the Duke? Yeah, I'm sure Jeff Bridges will make a suitable replacement.

    Normally I would agree but it's a Coen Bros. movie so it should be done well. They don't have too many duds under their belts.

        Doesn't matter who's project it is (I like the them too), some things are just unfuckwithable (with apologies to Strychnine). Don't mess with the classics.

          I agree that some movies are better left alone. This being one of them. Just off of the short preview I noticed some wrong things. JW never wore a derby... the patch is on the wrong eye.... he never sported a beard. And when he's charging Ned Pepper and the others, the remake has him with two six shooters when JW had a six shooter in one hand, and a rifle in the other.

              I think it'll do well. Rumor has it, after this, they're planning a sequel to the Big Lebowski.

                Shot for shot ....... not at all. But don't change the main character or probably the most famous scene of the movie.

                        Exactly.

                        I can't believe he said that.

                        Just watch AMC and you will catch a movie or two with him.

                          LMAO.

                          I'm only 22, and I f'ing love John Wayne movies
                          Though I agree it should have been left alone, just judging by the previews it looks pretty decent.
                          As long as no one decides to remake El Dorado, I'll be just fine.

                            The Shootist was a damn good movie, even though it really wasn't a shoot em up western.

                              Jeff Bridges is a better actor than John Wayne was. He wasn't a great actor, but his acting wasn't what made his movies great. It was his attitude, his lines, and the way he delivered them, and what he seemed to stand for. This could be a pretty good movie and I don't think they'll taint the original...

                              I'm OK with the eye patch, or the beard, but the scene where he takes on the bad guys with a lever action rifle and a revolver and the reigns in his teeth is what made that movie.
