Much preferred "Rooster Cogburn" and "The Shootist" to the '69 "True Grit" - why? No Glen Campbell or Kim Darby.<br /><br />Well, this is interesting, Kim. I guess I'll just wait 'til this one gets to network TV and check it out at no cost to me (though Comcast always gets something).The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672005424133365490.post-38946098088102286942012-01-14T14:54:45.946-05:002012-01-14T14:54:45.946-05:00Amanda, I got it from my college library.Amanda, I got it from my college library.Kimberly J.M.

And, you and Dawn are right about the mumbling--it could get annoying. I didn't really like that song, either.Kimberly J.M.

Still, I liked this one just a tad less than the original. <br /><br />Like Dawn, I had a difficult time understanding what Jeff Bridges was saying in certain scenes. Mumbling does not make a great performance. The score, with the same hymn repeated throughout, also grated.Kevin Deanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697597405552599370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672005424133365490.post-12673683867744343082012-01-12T11:31:59.395-05:002012-01-12T11:31:59.395-05:00The first problem I had with the new film, True Gr...The first problem I had with the new film, True Grit.
