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?

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
