One arm... no idea. But there's a lady with no arms who flies planes. And doesn't look bad.

I probably would.

Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Just saw it, thought it was really good, with one exception:

Spoiler: show

the two of them riding the horse at the end, the shot didn't look very good, and the whole ending was really rushed, and sort of a let down. Still good though.

Spoiler: show

how haggardly Mattie looked 25 years later, she is gonna be hot in a few years and probably stay that way a good while

Spoiler: show

Well, take into account that its a different time, ppl aged faster and on top of that the life she's lead. ~40 something one armed women who have survived trekking the wilderness and run their family's farm are definitely gonna be worse for the wear then your run of the mill 40something cougar..

Is this the movie in two parts? or one movie 2 different sources? I can't tell since my phone just auto downloads without showing me the file name :/

[Qalbert]

two parts I think

[Omniyoji]

Oh thank you so much!

Great movie. The dialogue and acting were perfect like with every Coen brothers movie.

Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely amazing.

In case anyone wants to download: http://www.icefilms.info/ip.php?v=123010&

First download link is the one I used, was downloading it at 2.2mb/sec, took 10 minutes for the 1.4gb file. http://www.2shared.com/video/hkfMnHi...ml&w=719&h=349

And it's not cam quality, looks like a DVD rip, maybe from an advance screening copy. I had one of Youth In Revolt a few weeks before it came out, but whoever snagged one for this movie was lucky.

edit: whoops didn't see the above download link. oh well, I'll leave this one here anyway.

I think that was a ode to the original movie

Anyway my thoughts on it:

Start: Good
Middle: Shit filler
End: Very good

>Coen brother's movie.
>shit filler.

Pick one.

About Komm's spoiler

Spoiler: show

idk what specific shot of that sequence youre critiquing but it looked a hell of a lot better then the original in over 9000x ways. You could see the pony dying as Cogburn sacrificed it to save Mattie instead of just having it fall down 5sec after John Wayne's fat ass sat on it

The shot from the front as they were riding the horse, the background looked kind of awful. I don't know if it was the CG or what, but it didn't look good.

[Titanss]

They were making it look old school

[Greedouw]

Finally saw this today...

The Coen Brothers really did an amazing job of capturing the atmosphere of the late 19th century, then again, I love Westerns... also the ending made me kinda sad

[Dantrag]

Also saw it this weekend. Rather enjoyed it.

[Kiro]

Went to this expecting it to be a pretty gnarly western that was more heavy with the violence. Still had some, but it seemed like a comedy more than anything else. The Marshall is hilarious.

[MF Perm tha Fineass]

Saw it over the weekend with the wifey and we loved it. I did notice one thing, the movie never seemed to try and push character on us, I never felt like I had to be attached to any of the characters ( and I wasn't ) to enjoy the film. I thought that was interesting as I took the story as a whole without needing to dissect the plot or characters but still felt a richness and deepness about the whole thing. It kind of made me reflect on how far a lot of movies go these days to explain every little detail and not just let a character be who they are.

Kiro/Finesse: Do you guys watch Coen bro movies? They regularly are more funny then anything else, and their characters always come across as not really being likable by the Coen bros (exceptions being The Dude, Sherriff in No Country, and maybe Clooney in O Brother?)

I'm a huge Coen bros fan and those movies came to mind as far as likeable characters. Even more than the Sherriff in No Country I liked Llewelyn Moss and shat brix when he died. I wouldn't say there's a consistent theme of unlikable protagonists in their movies but they do have a great way of presenting characters.
