ice cr?m, Tuesday, 28 September 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link

If Airplanes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport (s1ocki), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link

If Airplanes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport (s1ocki), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link

is it "true"ly "grit"ty

If Airplanes Could Fly This Place Would Be An Airport (s1ocki), Tuesday, 28 September 2010 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

'western' is a little broad to make a value judgement on

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

She doesn't look like Grover Cleveland either.

I wish they would make only westerns

I will make allowances for horror westerns, this is a vital subgenre

are you excited about the film of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln,_Vampire_Hunter

caek, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 15:10 (thirteen years ago) link

if you're not excited, then maybe the news that it will be produced by TIM BURTON will change that

caek, Wednesday, 29 September 2010 15:10 (thirteen years ago) link

Don't worry guys, I won't stop you liking westerns.

Faerie Liquide (admrl), Wednesday, 29 September 2010 15:26 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Well what really inspired the revisionism was Vietnam + Peckinpah. And since we have since regressed to the most reactionary pop culture since the pre-rock '50s, obv there are gonna be a lot of faux-reviz westerns.

This is in Ireland granted but i've seen plenty of copies of the 2005 reissues of Portis's novels in second-hand bookshops.

ok, 1975-91 was pretty bad too, especially the pop music
