Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Debet, in addition, there were a few left out. I would have died to hear Firth yell motherfucker and a few others, but oh well.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

There definitely were, but it was more the rhythm and progression of it that were compelling to me. tits! got a huge laugh from the audience, not because of the word itself, but the shape of the thing as a whole.

Oh! And the silent fuckfuckfuck in the speech at the end of the film!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yes yes! I agree with all of what you said. It works perfectly. I just want some talk show host (maybe he needs to go on Bill Maher), have him shout a few more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think this is the first time I've linked to an xkcd comic in the Movies thread:

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

We saw True Grit over the weekend, and holy cow, I loved it. Definitely one of those movies that just keeps improving the more you think about it. In particular, of course, I freaking loved Mattie Ross, and how confident and capable and just awesome she was. The scene where she crosses the river on Blackie just made my heart sing. And they didn't sexualize her character or make her fall in love with anyone! Hallelujah! Also, I loved how she just brushed it off whenever anyone called her ugly. It just didn't matter to her at all.

I also just enjoyed how well-made it was. Gorgeous scenery, interesting characters, good actors, beautiful score... I keep feeling like I want to light out for the territories myself. (And meet Mattie Ross.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I haven't seen True Grit yet, but I recently read an interview wit the Coen brothers where they were asked about making it a PG-13 movie and their answer was basically "the main character is a 13-year-old girl, so 13-year-old girls should be able to see it. That's just logical." Love.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've also seen them in interviews talking about how many girls they had to audition to find their Mattie. They'd almost given up. They needed somebody that could handle the language naturally.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Gorgeous scenery, yes, but still the wrong gorgeous scenery.

Heh, dcp, my Okie DH complained about the same thing. Didn't bother me, but I can see why it would bug.

They needed somebody that could handle the language naturally.

Yeah, she was amazing with the dialogue. How relieved they must have been to find her!

Yeah, she was amazing with the dialogue.

She blew me away with her ability to make it sound natural because you darn well know it wasn't. She was so cute last night at the Globes... Also? Taller than The Bieber who's got a couple of years on her! My son has quite the crush on her.
