But then I am in the minority thinking that there were quite a few western actors of Wayne’s time that made better western films. Hope that is not too anti-Wayne, I liked him, just never thought he was as good as Randolph Scott, Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper or Alan Ladd.Neil A.

It isn't necessarily the same character or tone as the book, but I enjoyed the movie. He and Kate had good chemistry on screen, a pleasure to watch them act together.Cullen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236957954996740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-48126662149429081532010-12-04T05:52:15.280-08:002010-12-04T05:52:15.280-08:00Where I'll be going for xmas there isn't a...Where I'll be going for xmas there isn't a chance in the world that TRUE GRIT will be playing.

Their film is based on the Portis novel. <br /><br />Matt Damon, a terrific actor and a bigger "star" than Bridges -- is interesting, taking a supporting role and second billing just so he could work with the Coens. Doesn't run his career like many of his contemporaries.<br /><br />I'm very much looking forward to this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-83534326454271380132010-12-04T04:45:39.079-08:002010-12-04T04:45:39.079-08:00DAVID - I'm actually reading the Portis book n...DAVID - I'm actually reading the Portis book now.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945802533317836555.post-73679341422120143952010-12-04T04:26:25.922-08:002010-12-04T04:26:25.922-08:00I enjoy the original as well and have confidence i...I enjoy the original as well and have confidence in the Coens with Jeff Bridges wearing the patch. <br /><br />It is attention-grabbing to listen to folks that read the book first.
