I always twitch at sudden violence and that scene had me jumping right out of my seat
I kept figuring,
"oh, he'll crack, he's not going to protect a tenuous relationship with the rest of them, he obviously would rather talk than get shot in the faHOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT"
Though the original post is over a month old and dated back to when 'True Grit' first began screening for critics, for some reason this little behind-the-scenes nugget is just making the rounds now, probably because the story's author, Scott Feinberg, snuck in the tidbit at the very end of his article. So it goes like this: During the end credits of 'True Grit', Feinberg noticed a credit given to a Buster Coen for being Matt Damon's Abs Double.
Seems strange since you don't see Matt Damon's abs in the film, especially because they're covered up in layers of Texas Ranger clothing, and so during a post-screening Q&A Feinberg asked Damon what was up with the credit. Turns out Ethan Coen's 15-year-old son Buster had helped out on the film serving as an assistant to the script supervisor, but didn't want to be known as that in the credits. When asked what he wanted his credit to be, the kid indicated that he wanted to be known as Matt Damon's Abs Double.
This movie just about perfectly met my expectations, which were very, very high. It just completely delivered. I dragged a few friends along who aren't really into westerns or the Coen brothers (I know, I need new friends) and they all loved it too.
One minor gripe was that guy who made animal noises. He was more annoying than anything else.

That dude was in the Wayne version too I think and I don't really know what his deal was supposed to be
he was insane
The way they portrayed him I couldn't tell if he was batshit crazy, or mentally disabled. He just struck me as a poor attempt at comic relief and was the only thing in the movie that didn't work for me. Which is very, very minor.

I think it was trying to highlight the brutality of territory life
It contrasted with how the city had law and courts and such
Out in the wilderness the only value in a life was in how much a person's individual body parts were worth

to be fair, everybody thought that was what it was
until the title popped up at the end of the trailer
Steam
Hell they even used the initials RS
I am awed by how good it was
this was better. so much better.
Which is interesting, as it disproves the Bridges principle, long held by philosophers.
Why I fear the ocean.
what is this principe?
That having twice as many Jeff Bridges should make Tron twice as good
The new, rewritten principle states:
A Bridges in the west is worth two in The Grid
At first I thought it was a movie for Rock'em Sock'em Robots.
Edit: Goddammit, thats what I get for not reading the last page.
But some jackass thought it was hilarious anytime someone died. He was crying with laughter during the cabin scene.
"You couldn't hit a man from 300 yards if your gun was resting on Gibraltar"
OP makes it sound like it's rated R though.
This is a problem if I want to see with friends.
nah it's definitely rated PG-13
the violence kind of skirts the edge of the rating though
It looks and sounds excellent.
I kept figuring,
True Grit - a real man.
I hope he dates rapes someone just to make a point.
made this movie that much better, and it was already my fsvorite movie of the year
Saw it right after The Fighter, which was also a good film.
If those men wanted a decent burial, they should have got themselves killed in the summer
So awesome
