I've still yet to see a Rooster Cogburn that resembled Grover Cleveland.

I think my problem with westerns is that too many of them fall into the middle ground between adherence to the classic western and a radical break from it, insistence on historical accuracy or wilful ignorance of it. There have been a lot of bloated, confused average westerns made in the last 15-20 years. This has also given birth to that cliche "take away the location and the time period of [film X] and it is in fact A WESTERN", in terms of structure, character, politics, etc. The Western being an entirely made-up genre for the most part, most of these may as well be science fiction - Westworld had it right.

should i read it
is it "true"ly "grit"ty
It's a fast read. It's funny. Mattie Ross is your typical Portis protagonist who's gotten herself way too deep into a situation she doesn't need to be in. There's a lot of action. The first quarter of the book is just her wandering around Fort Smith, and it's enough to keep you suckered in until the "good parts". Something not clear in the movie, but is in the book is that she's narrating the book as an old woman. So you've got this 14-year-old trying to avenge her father's murder all of a sudden namechecking Al Smith at times.
I usually hate remakes, but this new True Grit movie should be dead-on since "dark and funny" is pretty much the Coens' forté.

I'm not sure why the Coens didn't cast Meryl Streep as Cogburn.

She doesn't look like Grover Cleveland either.

if you're not excited, then maybe the news that it will be produced by TIM BURTON will change that
Don't worry guys, I won't stop you liking westerns.

I imagine the Coens didn't audition Hanks for the role in Ladykillers, because Hanks was too big a star to audition. Big, big mistake. His complete inability to cope with his role ruined the movie beyond redemption. But, as the Coens no doubt knew, you don't tell that to Tom Hanks during shooting; you swallow hard, take your lumps, and never work with him again.

I thought he was trying to one up Peter Sellers tbh, or, he seems like an OK guy, maybe it was a tribute

Poor Hailee. Her handlers wouldn't even let her sing in her own voice. They had to run it through some filter and drown it in a sea of overproduction. She was v good in the movie, though.

I like True Grit but feel like it was a good movie brought down a bit from the upper tier Cohen Brothers oeuvre by the completely useless presence of Matt Damon. I'm enough of a classic western sap to enjoy lots of it though.

This was the era when Matt Damon realized he was a blank and shrewdly started to manipulate it for max impactx.
