What I don't get...

It's all subjective. I actually enjoyed the 2010 version a lot more than the original.

Do you like any western movies?

I love westerns, or at least I did when I was younger, especially Clint Eastwood's movies. I think the last western I enjoyed was 3:10 to Yuma.

The acting in True Grit was wooden, particularly the lead actress. And none of the characters were memorable or endearing. I'm surprised it garnered so much praise and dozens of awards. My only interest in it was that a classmate was an extra playing one of the townsfolk. I didn't pay enough attention to the movie to ever notice him in any scenes.

I still love westerns, Clint Eastwood westerns in particular. The Good the Bad the Ugly is easily my all-time favourite movie.

As far as the new True Grit, I'm actually surprised at how much you, Abdula, and hiddenpookie dislike it and I would say I disagree with all the criticisms. But like I said, it's all subjective.

I worked with these guys who know technology to an absurd degree. Of course they're all Asians, but it's not like they're a bunch of nerds with no lives. They live normal lives complete with gf's, jobs, social lives, etc, but they know these obscure and highly technical details about anything and everything related to electronics and computers.

Case in point, they were arguing about monitors with LED LCD panels made by LG that did not satisfy Apple's requirements for their products, so cheaper manufacturers use these panels in much cheaper monitors. Who has the time to know that kind of shit??
