If you haven’t heard yet, the Coen Brothers are doing a remake of the film True Grit, the 1969 western that John Wayne won an academy award for. Well, the Coen Brothers wish to do justice to Rooster Cogburn and breath life back into the character with none other than their dude Jeff Bridges. I’ve been excited about this ever since I heard and here’s the new trailer. It looks very intense and extremely good. I can’t wait for Christmas now. Enjoy…

Happy Birthday, Richie

Today is Sir Richard Attenborough’s birthday. For those of you who don’t know him, look him up. You’d recognize him immediately from Jurassic Park (he was the guy who created the park). However, he was quite the director – he won himself an academy award when he directed Gandhi in 1982. But to me, he will always be known as Pinky, and this clip below will show you why. Enjoy:

Still Here and Never Sane (the Joaquin Phoenix story)

Get this, actor Casey Affleck has decided to direct and release a documentary about Joaquin Phoenix (that guy who played Johnny cash and then lost his fucking mind). It focuses on Phoenix’s decision to retire from the acting world in 2008. However, we all know he retired to do what he really wanted to do with himself. He decided to become a rapper, because somehow after gaining thirty pounds and growing a massive beard, he thought people would be into that, you know? Of course, I don’t think he ever released a full album and i only really know of One Show.

So, this movie is here to detail us on just what its like when somebody goes off the deep end. From what I’ve heard it seems as if it will just do that. New York Magazine had word from sources that, “Phoenix snorts cocaine, orders call girls, has oral sex with a publicist (it’s unclear who was the giver and who the taker), and treats his assistants abusively.” They go on to mention a particular incident in which apparently he gets defecated on by one of his friends. Now, this movie could be something of a shocker piece, but it could also just be another Borat. In which case, they seem to have taken it much farther and do we really need that? But then again, nothing could be more entertaining than an in-depth look of a washed-up actor in his real-life situations … right?
