And now for a line from the Duke

Came across this page - the back of John Wayne's script. He scribbled some words for his iconic turn as Rooster Cogburn in the original 1969 True Grit. Movie magic!

The Duke's handwritten note reads "Fill your hand and meet your maker." In the film he actually said, "Fill your hand you son of a bitch." Not bad either. If you feel like watching the glorious clip, scroll down and enjoy! And if you feel like comparing it to the Coen's True Grit, scroll even further ... as much as I love Jeff Bridges, the real Rooster will always be John Wayne. It's the Duke, every time, scowl, Winchester and all.





... now Joel, Ethan ... why exactly did you remake this film? Get back to original material and bring more some more Lebowski instead!
