True Grit is also the best movie ever..

It wasn't all that good imo, but the young girl did do a fine job in her 1st roll.

John Wayne can't be matched by anyone in showbiz today, if ever. Use the

money on a Black Swan ticket and wait til True Grit comes out on cable/sat.

Black Swan was outstanding and should be a heavy oscar fav.

Jeff Bridges has to be metioned in some of the best acting sons to follow their Father. I might not put him in the class of Alan Ladd/Alan Ladd Jr, or Lon Cheney/Lon Cheney Jr, or the Barrymores, but has to be over Alan Hale/Alan Hale Jr. (I want to say that Alan Hale Jr, besides a few odd Westerns, claim to fame was the "Skipper" In "Gilligan's Island".)

True Grit is on my list to go see.

I've never understood the love affair with John Wayne. I thought his mannerisms and dialogue delivery were pretty generic even for his time. He just seemed average to me.

I thought this movie was pretty solid. Not the best movie I've ever seen, but certainly one of the best performances by a young girl I've ever seen. She was tremendous. I don't like Matt Damon, but even he wasn't bad. I thought Bridges did a pretty great job too, and his character was very believable.

All in all I give this a 4.5 out of 5.

Better than Charlie Sheen?

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
