Guess who put off studying for two hours and just got back from an advance screening of the new Coen Brothers' film, True Grit?
this guy
First 45 seconds spoiler:
This is a sort of "stranger comes to town" story, only the stranger has already left town after having killed the protagonist's father over a matter of two California gold pieces. While yet only fourteen, she decides she's going to hunt the fucker down and kill him, be it the dead of winter or no. That's her in the poster up top.
This movie features:
- Beautiful scenery
- Funny accents
- Top-of-the-line Coen Brothers writing and directing
- Unrepentant violence and theivin'
- Seriously, it's gritty stuff
- Like thirty-five solid minutes of Jeff Bridges drunkenly verbally abusing Matt Damon and another thirty-five of Hailee Steinfeld, in her film debut role, doing the exact same to anyone fucking else who has the displeasure of being the object of her ire
I recommend you go see it. (when it comes out on December 22nd of this the year of our lord 2010) It's funnier than The Hudsucker Proxy, (you know, for kids!) less irreverent than O! Brother, Where Art Thou?, not quite as cerebral as Barton Fink, and you can actually look at Jeff Bridges and not just think of the Dude. I'd say A- territory.

i always think this is supposed to emote a stroke
I'm wondering how well Jeff Bridges will fill The Duke's role.
Going to revitalize the tradition of seeing the Coen Bros. movie over Christmas break with my friend from high school that started with No Country and ended... with No Country.
The Coens know how to make a goddamn movie. No Country was a killer western. They want to make some more? Please.
Also, A Serious Man 2: A Very Serious Channukah.
is it like a good movie

From what I understand, this one stick closer to the book's grim humor.
it might as well be
Am I weird for thinking this is a weird way to refer to the original?
It makes some interior fold of my brain itch.
How's that?
That's a tall order.
There aren't any left
But Open Range was a good movie, especially for a modern western. In fact, I would say it was the best western since Unforgiven, at the time.

Man, I really want to watch Open Range now. It has one of the best ending action scenes I have ever watched.
