It's only fitting that the Dude would replace the Duke. Seriously though, Jeff Bridges is my favorite actor, but he'll never fill the boots of John Wayne. The Duke never seemed to care how many bad movies he made, which was a shame considering how damn good he could be when he put his mind to it. In True Grit, he put his mind to it, in a big way.
Just remember though: this is an adaptation of the book.......not an adaptation of another movie that was an entirely different adaptation of the book. And it has Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin and Matt Damon and Barry Pepper And it's the Cohen brothers Count me in.
awesome. i havent seen a great western in a long long time. 3:10 to yuma was good, but not great in my opinion. cant think of any others.
The Proposition was a critically praised Australian western. Great movie and one of the grittiest I've ever seen. <object width="1280" height="745"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/G7V-CW_SUos?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/G7V-CW_SUos?fs=1&hl=en_US&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="1280" height="745"></embed></object>

Barry Pepper is so, so underutilized. He's fantastic, and I'm glad he's hooking on with the Coens for this one.
I loved it. It was slow-paced, and that may have , but I think the story is that now Westerns just don't sell that well any more. It's a shame, because they are some of the best films ever made.
