There were two time when watching Tron, that I couldn’t help but think the Dude had invaded the grid. One was when they first get to the suite and Jeff Bridges is meditating and the other is when he excitedly says “Awesome” on the transport train. Old Jeff Bridges just left me feeling as though “the Dude abides!”

And given that a lot of those westerns were remakes of old movies … it doesn’t exactly help either as one is even more tempted to compare them to the ‘classics’.

One has to wonder if the genre is dead if all they do is remakes of old movies.

I wonder if ‘cowboys vs aliens’ has to be classified as either a western or sf …

Which is a real shame since the book was terrible.

This was one of those rare instances where I loved the movie but hated the book, hell, the author couldn’t even use contractions, an entire novel without one don’t, can’t, wouldn’t or doesn’t.

It made for a very hard read and some painfully stilted dialogue.

Supposedly, the Coen brothers didn’t even watch the John Wayne version and adapted it straight from the book.
I’ve seen both films, and it’s very interesting to see how close they are to each other (with a few differences here or there). Just goes to show how both movies clung to the source material so well.

Am i the only one who felt that Jeff Bridges was playing Jeff Lebowski playing Kevin Flynn?

I can’t wait to watch Tron Legacy. As for True Grit, I hope they didn’t disgrace John Wayne’s memory with this one. It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing his role.

“I hear you’re a man with true grit.”
“Yeah, well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
