Film Field Trip # 2 (or so)

True Grit -  Finally got to see this excellent western directed by the Coen Brothers.  I remember reading and liking the book long ago...  this film version captures its tough-minded quality.  Great performances all round.  Boy! I didn't even recognize Matt Damen until he spoke.  The girl was a pistol.  I loved the archaically proper diction of all the characters' speech.  It made me realize again how sloppily we all speak nowadays... can you imagine a double feature playing True Grit and, like, you know, the flic Clueless?
