Comparing the 2 True Grit Films

            I decide to check out both True Grit films to see which one I think is better. For the most the 2 stories are similiar, the only main differences are the beginning and the end. For example in the original we get to see Mattie's father alive while in the remake he's already dead. Also there were other changes during in the remake, like the guy in the bear skin and the guy that was hanging from a tree. The endings for each film were different, while in the original everything turned outfor the most part okay, the ending to the remake was much darker.
              So which film did a like better, personally I liked the remake a little better than the original. First off The remake was much darker than the original. Second Jeff Bridges played a more intimadating Rooster Cogburn when he gets drunk than John Wayne did. However I did like Mattie better in the original than the remake, Mattie in the remake seems more obsessed with getting Cheney, while the original seemed more realilistic. I'm not saying the original is bad, I just like the remake a little better.

Bleach(anime) Rant

           Bleach is one of animes I both love and hate. When it's good it's good but when it's bad it's really bad. My main problem with the series is it's filler arcs that have nothing to do with the main story. The last couple filler arcs actually interupted the main story for many episodes, and in the case of the Captain Amagai arc, wasn't that good.
    The main reason there are fillers in anime is because most anime get ahead of the manga that they're based on, so they have fillers until the manga can catch up. The reason I'm bringing this up is because Bleach is going to another filler arc and we won't get to the main story arc for another 37 episodes. The next filler arc does look kinda interesting, but it's still annoying they cut into the main story to do it. I don't understand why they just do the arc during the break in the story instead of cutting into the main story. Anyway that's all I have to say about Bleach.
