True Grit

 I really loved the current version of True Grit. Everything about it seemed spot on. I saw it a second time and liked it even more. The acting, the dialog, the cinematography -- everything was wonderful. Now I want to read the book by Charles Portis. Have any of you read it?

Haven't seen the John Wayne version. I'd like to, though, just to compare. But I really doubt I'd enjoy it any more than the Coen brothers' version. I wonder what those guys have next up their sleeve?

(okay - after reading the above, I realize it sounds sort of like a Larry King movie review. But c'est la vie.)
