Entertainment Weekly has an interesting piece on the Coen brother's film True Grit.
*
The piece compares Jeff Bridges (seen in the above photo), who plays Rooster Cogburn in this film (and played "the Dude" in the Coen brothers' film The Big Lebowski) to John Wayne (seen in the below photo), known as "Duke" to his friends and millions of fans, and played Rooster Cogburn in the 1969 version of True Grit.

You can also read my earlier post of the two True Grit films via the below link:

*
I watched John Wayne's True Grit last week on TV and I plan to see the new True Grit next week.
*
I like Jeff Bridges, but I think Billy Bob Thorton would make a better Rooster Cogburn.
*
I watched Bad Santa last week and I thought that with Thorton's cantankerous personality and Southern accent, along with some weight gain, he would make an ideal Rooster Cogburn.
*
Thorton (seen below as Bad Santa and Davy Crocket) has already followed in the Duke's footsteps, having played Davy Crockett in an updated Alamo film.
*
Bad Santa, despite its foul language and coarse and criminal behavior, is a good, funny Christmas film. There is a Christmas sentiment at the end of the film.
