The Movie Challenge

I saw True Grit over the weekend for the second time.  It was good and gritty. I took a bunch of photos as I watched, and now I have a set of great movie stills.  Not sure it's legal to create movie stills from the tv, but my parents did pay 4.99 to see the film, so maybe we're covered there.  I love this movie because I have strong memories of watching the first one when I was a kid with John Wayne, Glen Campbell and Kim Darby.  Scenes from the original pop in my head as I watch this latest version with Jeff and Matt and Hailee, so it's kind of like getting to watch 2 movies at exactly the same time.
I've been thinking about grit since seeing it last weekend.  I don't have grit, per se.  Today I was feeling kind of tired because I didn't sleep well and I had one of my weird animal dreams, so I just read a book on the iPad all day long.  The power kept decreasing.  27%.  16%.  8%. I kept thinking I should get up and plug in my device, but I didn't and then all our power went off at around 3% because of a tree mishap in town.  iPad shut off right after the outage, so I just spent a few hours on the couch thinking about how much it sucked that I couldn't read the book anymore.  I couldn't do much else, without the internets or air conditioning or television.  But a grittier gal would have probably made more adventurous choices.
Anyway, if you want to see this movie, you should.  But see the first one too, if you feel like it.
