the dude avenges

Everybody who had zero days in the “How long after Hotrod returns to blogging until he writes a fawning Coen brothers post?” pool is a big winner today.  I just saw the first teaser trailer for their remake/re-imagining of True Grit, and goddamn it looks good.  I watched the original for the first time just a few months ago and it confirmed every preconception I have ever had about John Wayne: to wit – he was a terrible actor.  True Grit is a decent movie in spite of him, and I can’t believe the AMPAS gave him an Oscar for that performance.  But I am excited to see what Jeff Bridges will do with the part.  And I’m excited to finally have a reason to look forward to Christmas Day.
