December is always stressful for me. Bill worries about me as I have more stress-related headaches, as I come home unhappy from work, as I am soooo tired from trying to juggle all of the last-minute details pertaining to the holidays.
He doubles my vitamins.
He makes me go to bed early.
He calls to see how my day is going.
He tucks chocolate surprises in my purse.
And he takes me to the movies. Because he knows I LOVE going to movies and seeing them unfold on the big screen.
So we went to see "True Grit" last week. It was an escape for me. But this time, Bill was REALLY, REALLY excited to go... because he has been waiting for MONTHS for this movie to debut.
Why? It is one of Bill's all-time FAVORITE movies. He grew up watching the original 1969 version of "True Grit", starring John Wayne.
He has watched it so many times that he has the dialogue memorized. And we have this one on DVD:
We heard rumor that there would be a 2010 remake of this classic film, starring Jeff Bridges:
Bill LOVED the trailers, like this one:
What did we think? Bill is the expert on this one. BILL LOVED IT! I glanced at him several times in the darkness of the movie theater... and he was grinning from ear to ear. He gives it a Rodgers "9.5" (out of 10).
Bill's favorite lines:
"That's mighty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man..." (Lucky Ned)
"Fill your hands, you son-of-a-bith!" (Rooster Cogburn)
And my favorite line from the 2010 movie:
"I thought you were gonna say the sun was in your eyes... That is to say, your eye" (Texas Ranger LeBuf)
What a kick!
