    Sometimes I see photos, online images, or movies with great scenery, and I get an unstoppable notion to go there. This happened when I watched the original True Grit film. Here shown approaching it in the San Juan Mtns. of Colorado. #BlueskyMonday #MountainMonday #Colorado #landscapephotography

    Chimney Rock, near Owl Creek Pass, CO. From deep in the archives - taken in 2003 with a Canon 10D. Film buffs may recognize this location as the setting for a John Wayne shootout in True Grit (1969 version). #rockformation #mountain #colorado #monochrome #scenic #cows

    Now rewatching, the Coen brothers' biggest hit, by a wide margin, True Grit (2010). This was a big moneymaker, and it's no wonder, because it's phenomenal, another masterpiece, and it's a remake of a John Wayne film, oh and it was rated PG-13. More people got to see it. Bridges is perfect. 5/5

    The first Coen Brothers fan art I ever did was of True Grit when I was in college, because I had gotten questionably obsessed with that movie for a spell. Look at this fuckin...14/15 year old piece of art. Part of my obsession with horrible old men that I used to get made fun of for ha #art

    Finally saw Supergirl. I liked it more than the most recent Superman movie, but I expected more than a True Grit remake with a little John Wick thrown in. Milly Alcock is great as Supergirl, her character moments are interesting, but as is often the case muddy CG super fights are underwhelming.

    Today I learned that Elmer Bernstein (one of the great film composers: the Magnificent Seven, True Grit, the Blues Brothers, etc.) when he was just starting out composed the score to Robot Monster (regarded as one of the worst films ever made). That’s strangely inspiring.

    yeah it's pretty much this honestly. The plot is fairly basic, it doesn't open anything up for anything else like people are used to with superhero movies. But yes it's True Grit with a sprinkling of John Wick.

    During a summer Twitter break (and a bit of a reading slump), audiobooks helped—this Connie Willis road trip of a novel went down as smoothly as a Preston Sturges film. Also read my first Charles Portis! Donna Tartt narrates True Grit—nothing gets much better than that.

    1969 was a real banner year for movie songs, even after learning that "Everybody's Talkin'" wasn't written for "Midnight Cowboy." "True Grit," "Come Saturday Morning," "Goodbye, Columbus," "Jean," "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"... All pure gold.

    I’ve slept on it and the more I think about it the more I like it. The deviations from Woman of Tomorrow largely make sense for film and keep mostly with the same message. Ending withstanding. WoT’s ending is the best part but only fits the True Grit framing device that the movie eschews.

  • rafoix @[email protected]Lemmy · Jun 28, 2026

    Just because it’s kind of like True Grit, it still needs to be well written and scenes need to flow well and create tension. Supergirl (movie) is an adaptation of a great graphic novel. They changed several things that were integral to the plot for no apparent reason. It’s not trash but I wouldn’t recommend it.

    And it’s finally getting a 4K release! Hilariously, the current streaming version completely removes the actually necessary for the plot sex scene, which makes parts of the film make no sense. (Also I’d make a case for No Country for Old Men and True Grit!)

    I think people are inherently biased against a woman led film. It's based on the graphic novel "Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow" by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, and while it wanders from the source a bit (you cant fit 8 issues into a 2 hour movie), it's basically True Grit meets John Wick in space. I enjoyed the hell out of it! So why was the formula a success for True Grit or John Wick but not Supergirl? 🤔

    The film that really got me obsessed with Wayne was El Dorado, which I saw as a 10 year old (or around there) and LOVED. So I've always had a soft spot for those late 60s films like Sons of Katie Elder, War Wagon, True Grit, etc. But his work in the 40s and 50s is genuinely striking and interesting.
