A MAN OF TRUE GRIT

I just recently saw the Coen Brothers' retelling of True Grit, starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and brilliant newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. I'm all for Bridges and Steinfeld getting nominated (and winning), as well as the film itself (though Inception should win).



Nonetheless, the new version of the following scene can't top the original's one-handed cocking of the rifle (Terminator 2 anyone?) or the offended look on John Wayne's face. You just know the only reason he charged them was because of the insult, you know when the Academy voted for Wayne's Best Actor award they were thinking about this scene, and you know I only used my recent viewing of True Grit as an excuse to post it. Bask in the awesomeness:
