It was quite enjoyable.Quote:

It has many many good moments. The pollack joke thing (Polish cop clicks pen :lol:)
Many signature Coen stuff: Cage writing the goodbye letter and waking up on to John Goodman's : "today's the beginning of the rest of your life...clicks the shotgun" :rotfl:
The silliness is great. It didn't have the kind of flow and stream of funny moments some of their other films have had. So sometimes it felt like I was trying to like it.
Neenga sonnatha mind'la vechukkaren :D. May be it is just me.
Not aware of this. Has anyone here seen the original? Not a fan of Wayne's.

Bridges to Star in Coen Brothers' True Grit
Source:Variety September 10, 2009
Jeff Bridges is in talks to star in Joel and Ethan Coen's remake of True Grit for Paramount Pictures. He last worked with the Coens on 1998's The Big Lebowski.
Bridges would play the role that won John Wayne an Oscar for the 1969 original
The film, which also reunites the Coens with their No Country for Old Men producing partner Scott Rudin, has been redrafted by the brothers to be more faithful to the Charles Portis novel on which the original film was based.
The story centers on a 14-year-old girl who tags along with an aging U.S. marshal, Rooster Cogburn, and another lawman to track the outlaw who killed her father.
Coens directly another western. Now if it is remotely as good as NCFOM, it will gather massive support.
Not a fan of Wayne either. Jeff Bridges as Wayne? Interesting choice.
Bridges is better than Wayne :twisted:Quote:

Not the biggest fan of the film myself, but I loved the set-pieces. Rather "Burn after reading" than NCFOM because that's more closer to Coens forte. But I guess they're looking to expand their cinematic horizon. There is also a rivalry between likes of PT Anderson, Coens, and QT to venture off their alley, and do better than each other.
