TRUE GRIT

YES:

1. Includes many of my favorite Coen brothers themes/actors: The old west, Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, US Marshals, adapted screenplay.  (Other favorites include Judaism, bowling, John Goodman, and George Clooney).
   
2. I would see this film even if I was deaf.  The Coen bros. and Roger Deakins are unmatched when it comes to visually setting a story 1) in the past, and 2) in a rural setting.
   
3. Having a 14 year-old girl be the protagonist for a revenge movie.
4. This movie just looks fucking awesome.

NO:

1. Coen brothers themes/actors I’m not a fan of: Government conspiracies, Brad Pitt, Hula Hoops.

True Grit premieres December 25th.
