He actually liked the new one with the Dude even better because it was truer to the book
I especially think you would get a kick out of The Dog of the South, but True Grit is at the tippy tippy top.

I really thought I was going to find out that Midge was descending into madness as he continued his trip south but it seems like he must have just been mildly autistic or something. But then again nearly everyone he met was mental in some way. If you look at the book as slapstick it could totally be that way.
True Grit is just amazing
