Have you seen this yet?

Love her - she's just incredible, like to see anything she's worked on.

Finally got around to seeing Hell or High Water. I found it to be VERY entertaining and would highly recommend watching it if you haven't already. Bridges performance was perfect and Pine did a pretty damn good job too, but Foster was just incredible.

Lords of the Plains. Many neat little scenes.

Thanks for this – I'll definitely take a look at it, as I've always enjoyed Bridges' work.

I've thought of him as an actor who perfectly fills the space between the always-solid character actors and the stars that come and go. His seven Academy Award nominations across 45 years back that up. He just brings it, every time, even when I don't care at all for the material; e.g., the Big Lebowski.

The recent The Old Man series was remarkably poorly done and didn't reflect either Bridges' nor Lithgow's capabilities at anywhere near their best. It was a real waste of talent, I thought. My 2¢, of course.

In addition, IIRC, Bridges' lymphoma cancer held up production of that series for an extended period of time. Later he said "‘Covid made my cancer look like nothing". I hope we'll see Bridges provide us with his personal brand of entertainment for at least a few more years.

Watched this the other day. Early Jeff Bridges from 1981. He's not the main star. Pretty good, but it's a sad film.

BTW, I liked "The Old Man."

Also, thought "Hell or High Water" was an excellent film.

Hell or High Water was great - also check out True Grit for Bridges - very good.

Since we're in a Bridges lovefest, Bone Tomahawk is pretty unique.

Oh yeah, I thought this was a great movie!

Of course, it's not partial since I'm a big fan of "The Dude."

His role in the remake of True Grit was awesome as well.

I mean as a 40-year old man, I'm technically an adult child, but I still have the mindset of a 20-year old college student. Since the fiance and I don't have children and don't want them.

I've just never gotten into stuff like that.

I like that stuff that's at least tangentially grounded in something close to reality. I have thoughts on why certain people enjoy things like that, but I don't want to get another infraction.

I really enjoy this OT section more than most.

Wait, that's Kurt Russell not Jeff Bridges, plus other good actors. Good movie, btw.

Who doesn't love The Dude?

And yeah, "True Grit," the remake, was a very good movie. I, personally, liked it better than the original, and that's saying something because that was with John Wayne.

Oh crap, how did I…never mind haha.

No, I meant Jeff was great in The Thing.…oh wait…I did it again.

I need to get some sleep, brain no longer working.

Haha, I kinda feel ya, perhaps your theory holds true lol. I dunno, I personally don't get why those movies are SO popular, but, hey, different strokes…

Watched “ticket of paradise” today. Enjoyable romcom movie. I liked the settings, storyline, acting, etc. It’s a throwback to Eat, Pray, Love and Up In The Air.

[SRod321]

I thoroughly enjoyed the True Grit remake, loved Rooster Cogburn lol. Another awesome job by Bridges. He's quickly become another one of my favorite actors.
You didn't like the Big Lebowski??? "Well... that's just.... your opinion man....." 🤣

Excellent film... Mister The Beef lol.

Not sure how anyone could dislike The Big Lebowski. My advice is to watch it again, I didn't get it the first time - I think I stopped watching it. After a white russian or 2 might help as well.

dradernh - that's a shame to hear about The Old Man. I did hear about his health scare as well. His photography is pretty badass too!

Found this just now:

Thank you for your kind information I'll watch it today.

Found this just now:

I remember years ago my mom had never seen it, The Big Lebowski. So I invited her over to watch it and we made White Russians, were pretty toasty by the time the movie was done.

Most people, and bartenders, use a crappy recipe for a white russian and use way to much half and half or use milk instead.
