I am watching the original True Grit

[debilorrah]

Can people who have seen BOTH tell me what they think of the new one? I just cannot bring myself to go see it. I am a lifelong John Wayne fan, and just cannot fathom it.

I'm in the same boat as you Debi...I'm no help.

I'm in the traditional camp as well...I'm afraid to watch the new one in case it ruins forever the original.

So no help here, either.

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

same here, but friens have seen it & said it was GREAT!

 

[stuckinthecity]

No help either... sorry. Just wanted to say I love the original and it makes me mad every time that turkey scene comes on and the man wastes a good bird.

 

[debilorrah]

I am really glad to see people sticking with the original. Us old folks have to stick together for the classics!!!!

i saw it i thought it was good but a little slow

I'm pretty sure that remaking any John Wayne movie is a sin. A felony at the very least.

Jimmy Stewart


Where have all my old heros gone

Now we've got ?

 

[Sir Birdaholic]

Still got Robert Duvall, & Sam Elliot!
