Punishment Comes One Way Or Another

There’s not much to the new teaser poster for True Grit. It’s simple, it’d bold, and it speaks for itself. It’s also striking. There’s not a lot of movies I’d see based solely on a movie poster, but this one says all you need to know: Joel and Ethan Coen, Josh Brolin, Matt Damon, and Jeff Bridges.

Sold.

When the Coen Brothers are firing on all cylinders, they are damned near untouchable; marketing genius included.

I can't help but wonder if they had that font back in the Old West.

Alright when you fuckers bitch about the next re-make of a perfectly good movie that doesn't need to be re-made BUT happens to have your fave directors and actors I'm just gonna laugh.

And say I told you so.

I tell people I hate westerns just so I don't have to explain how I can like Shane and dislike the more actiony westerns. A Coen Brothers western interests me. Scratch that. A Coen Brothers actual western designed to be a western, not a western-like film with modern subject matter and long sprawling shots of desolate landscapes, interests me. It also seems that they aren't going the shot-for-shot route, so I'm not opposed to it being a remake, either. No one is doing this to try and profit off of an international phenomenon because of some idiotic notion that a properly marketed foreign-language film can't possibly play well in America.

Saw a full trailer for this on Saturday. It looks so good. God I love westerns.

That trail of blood is cheesy as all hell.

I'm still pissed this isn't being shot in the same locations. Bah!

When I see that picture up top, all I hear is "Preacher! We love you preacher!" Did they deliberately make her up to look like the girl from Pale Rider?

On a side note- Hell Fucking Yes!

I love Westerns, I hate the original True Grit. Wayne is embarrassing and the girl that plays Mattie is one of the most annoying actresses ever. I've been excited by this movie since I heard they were making it.

To be fair, they're not really remaking the movie. They're skipping the movie and going straight to the original book. My dad is a big fan of the book, and he's always said the movie sucked in comparison, especially John Wayne's character, who wasn't nearly enough of an asshole.
