You sir, are an asshole

I've never really been one of those people who hates it when old movies are redone. Don't get me wrong, sometimes the original is still the better picture. But being the movie nut that I am, I get excited when old movies are either re-imagined or outright re-done. Sometimes their efforts are for nothing and sometimes it rather looks like the producers or director was trying to piss on someone's grave. Other times, the new one is better than the old one.

I watch movies to be entertained. I don't bother to tear it apart because I just want to enjoy something I've spent money on. If you can manage to piss me off with your new version of an old movie...well then I take my hat off to you because it's nothing short of a great big steaming pile of shit.

Take the new Clash of the Titans. I loved the old one. I don't really know why. When I watch it now it's a lot like watching old episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard; I wonder what drugs my parents had me on. The new Clash was great. In fact, I wouldn't even spoil it by comparing it to the old one. It's a totally re-done film that barely sticks to the premise of the old one.

Now, that all being said, I was reading yahoo's movie pages today and saw that a new version of True Grit is coming out this Christmas. I often comment on how I'm older than I really am, and this is one of those examples. I used to sit and watch old Eastwood and Wayne westerns with my goofy ass six shooter's strapped around my waist like I was born in the fucking 60's...which I'm not.

The new one has Jeff Bridges in it, which is great because I happen to think he's a good actor. I'm looking forward to the new flick and while I probably won't compare it until I've seen the whole thing, I'd like to see what the Coen brothers come up with.

Now. The asshole part. I'm not one of those people who irrationally hate Matt Damon or Ben Affleck. I don't really care about them personally most of the time. I weigh their work based on how much effort I think they put into it and move on. Damon was great in the Bourne movies for an example and who didn't get goose bumps watching Good Will Hunting? But now it just seems like he's progressed into the realm of the complete and total Douchebag.

"I've never even seen the original John Wayne movie" Matt Damon, who plays Glen Campbell's old role of LaBeouf in this new version, told Entertainment Weekly. Unlike the old flick, this LaBeouf reportedly doesn't sing. "Our movie is totally different."

Thanks for the quote Yahoo, btw. Anyway. Pay attention to the bolded statements.

Look dude. If you've seen it, no ones going to laugh at you. First of all. It's fucking great. Second of all. You're a fucking actor, you make movies...it's only natural to watch them. If you haven't seen it....then how the flying fuck do you know it's totally different!?

Jesus tap dancing Christ. Do they just hand these assholes "I'm a fucking retard" cards and let them loose on society. I know. It's petty to pick on Matt Damon for what might possibly be a slip up, right? No. Fuck you. These assclowns have handlers who handle their handlers and everything they fucking say is laid out for them....and still they can't even keep their story straight in one fucking interview.

If you're an actor and you're going to give an interview...it behooves you to just be fucking honest. People respond to honesty, even when it's being delivered by some overly oppinionated assclown with a lame ass blog.

What?
