jemsklile Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Okay....I'll preface this by saying that I was a little tipsy when I saw this but....I didn't understand anything Jeff Bridges said in this movie. I know some people did...because they would laugh after he would talk...but half of the movie just sounded like him mumbling. Did anyone else see this and have the same problem or do I just need to try again after not having a few drinks? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsleepOnRocks Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I had no problem understanding him at all. Try it again, sober this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I don't drink and I understood him fine. Definitely try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolohe Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 the comedy is subtle, as can be expected in any coen movie. i enjoyed it. definitely worth another shot when you're sober. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemsklile Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hahaha. I see I see. I love other Coen brothers films so....yeah. I only had a couple of drinks but I thought about that before we went in how that might be a problem. Also...the volume at this theater seemed to be quieter then most so that probably played a factor as well. It was one of those...fancy...they bring you drinks and food during the movie type theaters. Probably not the best environment for this type of film. Thanks for the comments though, we will definitely watch it again. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Not only was Jeff Bridges coherent, but I think this was the Coens' most quotable film since Lebowski. Coincidence? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitenglish1208 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 there were one or two lines where i missed stuff he said but overall it wasn't a problem, he was pretty hilarious. great movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. I had some issues translating the mumbles when I was both sober and drunk watching this at the Alamo, but that movie was pretty damn good. I have not seen the original, but I'm assuming the end ended just as abrupt as the new one. I'm definitely going to see it again this week just because I fucking lost it when the dude started making animal noises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittenmittons Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 i just watched this. was pretty good...i got bored halfway through but i do that with most things so that's no real indicator of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayeffscene Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Watch it again. I think this was my favorite movie of the year. Absolutely hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammyg Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think I need to see this again. I too found myself bored for some reason. I understood everything that was happening so maybe I need to be more awake next time. Am I the only want that wanted a bit more gun scenes? For some reason (probably due to the word 'grit' being in the title) I was just expecting to see more than there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaxcowboyx Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 It was one of those...fancy...they bring you drinks and food during the movie type theaters. Probably not the best environment for this type of film. I dunno, I also saw it at a theater like this, and the addition of Dale's Pale Ale and French Fries definitely didn't hurt . If anything detracted from this movie, it would be the addition of Jason fucking Bourne as a Texas Ranger. Damon played his part well, but I still couldn't get over the simple fact that Matt Damon was in the movie. I'm definitely going to see it again this week just because I fucking lost it when the dude started making animal noises. OR you could simply come over to mi casa; we got a DVD quality copy of True Grit (AND Black Swan! #natalieportmangivesmeaboner.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlrose Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think there were some things that would be hard to get taken out of context. The "turkey shoot" line they used in the trailer is still hard to make out on its own and I've seen the movie. That said, I got most of it in the movie, but a few times I had to think about it.

smailtronic Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 There were a couple of Cogburn's lines that I couldn't understand, but not many. Definitely enjoyed the movie! Couldn't stop laughing at the animal noise guy, or when I'd say "Matt Damon", Team America style in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't stop laughing at the animal noise guy, or when I'd say "Matt Damon", Team America style in my head. I continually said "Maatt Daamon" everytime his face showed up on screen...eventually it caught on in the packed theatre, so once the beer settled into the bloodstream's of those who drank it, everyone was saying "maatt daaamon" hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andywax Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Loved this movie. Saw the Coen Bro's version first, then rented the John Wayne "True Grit." Both are great films, but I think the Coen Bro's version had a more reality-based vision of the "Old West" vs the G-rated West that is the John Wayne version.
