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!

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.
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.
!?!?
I'm totally in love with the idea of Hailee playing Katniss now!

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).
Matt Damon is surprisingly good at his job. Have you seen his Matthew McConaughey impression?
Steph, here's a thing on the langugage in True Grit: [link]
