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.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Aww!.. my bff was just telling me that the original Mattie was her sister's first crush.

Just watched The King's Speech. It was a nice antidote to yesterday's Black Swan. Speaking of which, I just went to add La Danse (the documentary about Le Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris, where I first saw Swan Lake) to my Netflix queue. It then suggested Ballets Russes, Ballerina, Dancing Across Borders, Paquita Fame, documentaries on Roland Petit, Paul Taylor, and Margot Fonetyn. So far, so good. Then? Grizzly Man. !?!?

They needed somebody that could handle the language naturally.
Yeah, she was amazing with the dialogue.
Again I ask: when DID the Old West get contractions? (I know it's how the book was written, blah blah precision-cakes, but it drove me a little batshit, to tell you the truth, though I was impressed that Matt Damon could do mangled tongue and still manage that oddly precise dialogue. Though I suppose he IS an actor, and doing stuff like that is t Lovitz Acting! t /Lovitz and therefore what he's paid to do.)

I have to admit, I was quite impressed with Matt Damon, because this role was a bit farther from his usual than I've seen before. I liked it enormously, once I got past the scene in the boarding house where he makes a joke about kissing Mattie (because EW).
