Totally off effing topic
My god, a few weeks ago I saw the remake of True Grit. I was sorely disappointed. Some really classic scenes, particularly the bargaining with Col. Stonehill were completely wooden now, with no animation or spontaneity or zest. And of course, Robert Duval can't be touched in the original as Ned Pepper even though it is really just a small supporting role. Anyway, I'm sure I'm out of step with this as Netflix was showing the remake rated higher than the original. Just makes me want to barf.

And, for your viewing pleasure:

And for comparison purposes, compare this to Charlie Sheen half passed out in a limo from last week or whenever. There's a little difference with class between old and new now I think. And I'm hopelessly out of touch.
