I just watched the new version for the 2nd time.
I still like it and think it is better than the original with John Wayne!
Flame on people if you want, but just what is it with "the Duke?"
Have not seen this one yet but I am itching too. It looks VERY good and I love me some westerns. My fave has always been Tombstone. That is also a great one. I am going to have to go grab a copy of True Grit and put Riverwolfs opinion to the test.

It is sometimes hard to recommend a movie on this site. But this one has zero sex, zero drugs, really not much killing or violence or profanity. A good western!

Not to mention how hard it is to recommend a western that doesn't have a truck full of violence and profanity. I am looking forward to seeing this one either way.
To me John Wayne is like watching Chuck Norris. Both ok actors, but seen one of thier movies and seen them all.
Oregon actually does have a large number of real "cowboys", eastern Oregon is ranch country going way back. But I don't think Mr. Wayne ever rode here.
Not "the Duke", just "Duke". John Wayne didn't have to pretend to be anything he wasn't. He didn't have to use some fake gruff voice. He didn't have to pretend to be a tough guy. John Wayne just had to be himself.
As opposed to the effete, effeminate, sissy boys who starred in the remake.
I'm not surprised by the preference for the remake from a (de)generation that saw "Brokeback Mountain". *Snicker* *Chuckle*

Sure he did. He never fought in any real war. He never enlisted at all (too old at 34?)
He pretended to be a cowboy and a soldier.
But that's not the point, I never even said I didn't like him. He was an ok actor with some good films. I just don't understand the cult following.
