They say you're a man with...true grit.

I'm watching True Grit right now. Actually I am taking a break from watching True Grit to write about the fact that I'm watching True Grit. Not the new one though, that one doesn't come out on DVD until May 14th. Which I am super excited about! I'm watching the original.

The John Wayne original.

Rooster Cogburn, a pitiless man, double tough, fear don't enter into his thinking.

Ah man. How I love old westerns. How I love John Wayne old westerns. My grandpa and grandma have like the whole dang collection, they bring me over his movies to watch sometimes. Heck he's probably like my grandparent's favorite actor. In fact my brother walked into my room a little bit ago while I was watching it and says...

 "Ah, True Grit. The original."

"How'd you know that?" I say.

"I've seen it."

"When?"

"Man, I hang out with grandpa. I've seen every John Wayne western."

He does have a point.

That movie has some really great dialogue too. It's hilarious.

LeBoeuf: You're lucky to be traveling in a place where a spring is so handy. In my country you can ride for days and see no ground water. I have lapped filthy water from a hoof print
and was glad to have it.
Rooster Cogburn: If I ever meet one of you Texas waddies who says he had never drank water out of a horse track I think I'll shake his hand, give him a Daniel Webster cigar.
LeBoeuf: You don't believe it?
Rooster Cogburn: Oh, I believed it the first twenty-five times I heard it. Maybe...maybe it is true. Maybe lappin' water off the ground is Ranger policy.

LeBoeuf: You are getting ready to show your ignorance now, Cogburn. I don't mind a little personal chaffin' but I won't hear anything against the Ranger troop from a man like you.

Ok. Now I'm definitely feeling a little nerdy. But it is a great movie! Both the new one and the original.

I'm gonna go finish watching it now!
