The idea that anybody could out do The Duke at anything is unbelievable to me. This is the man who wiped out an entire tribe of hostile Apache with only a sixshooter and then without so much as a lunch break leaped into WWII where he sank a Jap sub using only his teeth after he had already planted the flag on Mt. Suzie-itchy!

Joking aside I liked both movies. I give the nod to the new one for its outstanding soundtrack. The music is worth the price of admission.

My brother's wife has a brother who is married to one of Glen Campbell's cousins. First cousins if I am not mistaken. Anyway, she has been telling folks that Glen Campbell's acting was so bad it made John Wayne finally look good enough to win an oscar... and now Matt Damon's acting is so bad that they may go back and give Glen Campbell an Oscar award! She is of course jesting.

Alan, when I saw the scene where they were debating what exactly honorable service to the CSA was I was interrupted by someone passing in front of me with a load of popcorn and soda. Did I hear Matt Damon say he was in the Army of Northern Virginia and stationed at Shreveport or did I miss part of the conversation? I'm also prone to gargled communications as my hearing seems to be following my eyesight into being a "Precious Memory" LOL!
