Bridges has some true grit in taking on a redux of an old John Wayne film.  http://www.truegritmovie.com/?gclid=CM3gypTMw6UCFR9NgwodBCr3Ww

As one critic said, "They're replacing the 'Duke' with the 'Dude'. "


But I'll still go see it!

The Cohen Brothers are now, officially, too big for their britches.

Don't mess with The Duke.

If you read about it a bit you'll discover that it's not exactly a remake of the old John Wayne movie, which I did love, but rather that it's an adaptation created to be more faithful to the book than the original movie.  Now Jeff Bridges happens to be one of my favorite actors, and the Cohen brothers are my favorite directors, so I was excited when I read about this.  When I first saw the full length trailer a month or more ago, I was really really excited. I, for one, can hardly wait for Dec. 22nd to go and see this in the theaters.  Watch the trailers, Bridges is perfect, not to mention Damon and Brolin.  Should be fantastic.

I just don't care for Matt Damon. However, I was a bit cranky this morning when I first posted about this. Perhaps, maybe, there might be an outside chance that I won't wait until this is a rental.

Matt Damon might be the one reason I don't go watch it. They should have found someone better.

I was never a fan of his until I saw The Departed.  Like it or not he's a great actor.

Cheer up, it could have been Leonardo.

Gonna be real hard to top John Wayne in one of his most well known roles.

Will still see this one though.

[Shuffler]

It'll go the way of the new Robinhood.

I won't go see it either.

I would recommend seeing it. It must be better than most of the trash Hollywood is spewing out now, and has been for the past 30+ years.

I cant think of but a handful of films made since the 70's that were "Original" IMHO. IMO Hollywood has fallen back to the Formual Method of film making that was used in the Silent film Era. When nobody knew what they were doing. Quite similar to what we have now. Only a  handful of Directors have a clue and can only create when they are the Producer and back their work with their own cash. It seems to me that all the Major studios are being run by clueless accountants, investors and money changers. Which IMHO is the cause of this delima in the Film Industry. Look around you.... how many people including yourself are willing to Risk Failure these days? No Guts... No Glory... this is why our world is so bland. All the flavor has been congealed down to a grey paste of commonality.

I risk failure everyday I show up at work and tell the management where to put the "Process Dial" in our fabs. Funny how I sit around a meeting table and when it comes time to take action all eyes are looking at me. I think this is extremely common around our world in all areas because I never have considered myself an exceptional person.. a Freak yes.. but exceptional.... No Way.


Just my thoughts but I think this is the story in Hollywood as well.

Oh, I don't know.  It definitely wasn't the best he did.
