"Hey, little girl, wanna see my pocket watch?"
I’ll be honest, folks: even though I’m a movie blogger and thus legally required to fan my fat face in nerdish anticipation at every story involving guys in spandex suits, I think I like Coen Brothers stories more. On that note, here are the latest set pics (via this guy) of Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn on the set of the Coen Brothers’ remake re-adaptation of the Charles Portis novel, True Grit. It opens Christmas Day.
That’s Hailey Steinfeld as Mattie Ross, and in this version, like in the novel, the story is told from her perspective. Josh Brolin and Matt Damon have supporting roles. Also, one of the characters is named “Bear Grit.” He’s named of course for the grade of sandpaper designed for use on surfaces covered in bears. Anyway, all of this sounds good. But, honestly, you had me at “The Dude plays an eyepatch-wearing drunk.”
Those are the best kind of drunks. This project earns the FilmDrunk Seal of Approval.

In this one, Chinaman is the preferred nomenclature.
“That rug really tied the room together, Pilgrim.”
SHUT THE FUCK UP DO . . . ohh, y’know I do believe you are correct on this one.
Wow, Kris Kristofferson is aging well.
I thought the Bear Grit killed Jew shopkeepers with a rounders bat.
She better be careful with those braids. She’s likely to be attacked by a pack of lo**ers.
I always wear an eyepatch when I’m drunk. Makes it so that I don’t have to squeeze my left eye closed when I’m driving home.
So who’s playing Trish? Frances McDormand?
I think we use Bear Grit toilet paper here at work because my ass bleeds like a Grizzly clawed it after I wipe.
Forgive my fashion sense retardedness, but is that a bowler hat Jeff is wearing? If it is, the irony is fucking delicious. It it isn’t, go fuck yourself for being a fashion snob.

I take it you’re not a golfer.
Nice. Grooved that one right down the pipe. Just the way your Moms like it.
True story: The Mighty Feklahr just used the term “micropenised dwarf molester” in a conversation. That is all.
Fourteen year olds, Dude.
Banner Pic:
“Hey, little girl, you know what else has one eye?”
“His girlfriend cut off her arm! She thought we would be getting justice.”
I saw a different remake of this but it got kind of boring once you realized it was mostly about custom tile. My recommendation is to avoid True Grout.
