Just when you though Hollywood couldn’t get any worse.

I’ve often shown disgust at the fact there is nothing new coming from Hollywood. Let’s see what up on the tube:


Hawaii 50. Steve McGarrett goes after bad guys saying “Book’em Danno” with a surfer girl with “special skills” (she looks hot in a bikini).

On the big screen.

Arthur…Karate Kid…Clash of the Titans…The Pink Panther….come on guys, will anyone be Arthur but Dudley Moore…sorry, can anyone but Sir Lawrence Olivier be Zeus…” Release the Kraken"…and nothing against Steve Martin but you are treading on holy ground by trying to be The Pink Panther…that is only Peter Sellers.

But again Hollywood shows its lack of originality….they is remaking True Grit.

True Grit is a 1968 novel by Charles Portis about a 14-yo girl who undertook a quest to avenge her father’s death at the hands of a drifter named Tom Chaney. A western movie based on the novel and starring John Wayne was released in 1969. But that film was more a showcase for John Wayne than the story of the girl. So the Coen brothers have decided to bring us a remake that would focus on the girl's point of view. ...The film will be released on December 25, 2010.

OK...you just want to do it from the girls point of view...right...

Well here are some pictures from the movie:

Sorry Jeff Bridges, you're a great actor but no one will ever be Rooster Cogburn but The Duke.  I just don't see you looking on Beau across the field:

Rooster confronts the four outlaws across the field

Ned Pepper: What's your intention? Do you think one on four is a dogfall?

Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which'll it be?


Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.


Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!

This is True Grit...and the Coen brothers can go....let's just say it's physically impossible!
