Girl: "I thought you said we would give him a proper burial."
Rooster Cogburn: "The ground's too hard. If he wanted a proper burial he shoulda got himself killed in the summer."
=d>
Rooster Cogburn: I mean to kill you in one minute, Ned. Or see you hanged in Fort Smith at Judge Parker's convenience. Which will you have?
Lucky Ned Pepper: I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!
Rooster Cogburn: Fill your hand you son of a **tch!
"I practice medicine on people to...the ones that will sit still for me." (or something like that)
Everytime that girl (Mattie) talked, it reminded me of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. 🤔 Looked like her to.

Anyway, I should have specified which True Grit. I was thinking of the 2010 version, not the 1969 (?) John Wayne version. However, I just got done watching the 2010 version, and coincidentally the John Wayne version was on last night on the AMC channel. But I fell asleep while watching it.
Haven't seen the new one yet, and while I enjoy some of Jeff Bridges work I can't imagine that he out performed the Duke...... as he's no John Wayne in my book I have nearly every western Wayne's done , for me a little Woodford accompanied by a great cigar and a JW western...............All is good in the world 🙂

Maybe it's the old vs. the new, but from the little I watched of the '69 True Grit and the recent version, I liked the newer version more. However, I will try to watch more of the '69 version if it comes on again (hopefully not late at night). I'm no movie critic, and I really don't know much about Jeff Bridges work, or John Wayne's for that matter, but Jeff Bridges did a great job IMO. Bridges and Wayne were very similar in character, as were the two girls that played Mattie. I didn't get to see enough of the older version to see how similar the characters were between LeBeouf (the Texas ranger), but in the newer version they portrayed him as a bit arrogant and a big talker (ego)...almost in a comical way. If you liked the old, I think that you will like the new as well.
I think Charlie might be the man to talk to on this subject. Maybe he'll chime in...if he isn't stranded on an island somewhere looking for ransom money. =d>
Love Jeff's work though. Enjoyed his collaboration with Eastwood back in the day. Who plays Ned Pepper- Brolin (W)? He's another good actor.
Damn...Shiite LeBoof (or whatever) - that's a movie killer for me. UGH.

From the new or old version? The very little I saw of him in the old version, he seems way too gentlemanly (i.e. too nice). I really only got to see about 5 minutes of him last night so that may not be an accurate assessment of him. 🤔 In the new version, the interaction between him and Rooster is comical.

I think John Wayne was a horrible actor. There, I said it.

Not that I've seen all of his shows, actually I've probably seen very few of them, but I'd probably agree with you. I'm not sure it would be his acting so much that I'd like, but more the character in general.
That being said, I think I'd go with Jeff Bridges over John Wayne in True Grit...but that could possibly change when/if I ever get to see all of True Grit with John Wayne in it. Not sure when that will happen.
