    I'll probably upset the crowd even more by telling you that you're not missing out on anything at all. I always thought he was a lousy actor.

    You know, funny, I was getting ready to ask if it is even really worth my time to go through the old films.

    The one thing I hated in True Grit was Glenn Campbell-what a miscast in my opinion.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    he wasn't a lousy actor, he was a great actor.

    "and starring as John Wayne, John Wayne!"

    just like denzel washington and robert deniro. they don't play the role, they play themselves.

    I like De Niro and Washington, The Duke always came off like a big clumsy oaf to me.

    I'm more of an Eastwood fan.

    I will upset the crowd also as I have no respect for him being to worried about his film career instead of joining the military during WWII. No respect.

    From the little I have seen of him, I really don't think you can compare him to either of those two. Again, I still haven't seen a complete movie of his, only maybe 1/4 of a few, but I was wondering if I missed something that I just didn't see in his films. From what I did see, I can say he wasn't as good of an actor as the two mentioned.

    Right you are Marlin. And the positive effect his movies had on the morale of our troops - especially during the Vietnam conflict more than made up for his never getting to serve.
