Spending my evening watching True Grit (the remake) and smoking my Barling Canadian with some best Brown Flake. Didn't know that Matt Damon character smoked a meerschaum pipe. Nice way to end the weekend, and a great smoke.

Great movies, both the John Wayne version and the remake. I'm tempted to watch that myself now. Happy moviepuffin 
I could have a good time with that as long as it was the original True Grit. I can't handle the remake though. Still going to have to try some best brown flake. I have a 1/2 pound of Pirate Kake coming right now with some other staples to the cellar for this TAD. Next time maybe.

I got the best Brown from Pruss, it's full of plume and dried to crispy. I absolutely love it this way, I'm starting to realize that I need to dry out my flakes to get the enjoyment out of them properly. I'm loving this stuff.
As for the movie I've never seen the john Wayne version, after this I'll have to watch it next.

Oh ya and started with a nice coffee and have now moved on to a nice glass of sherry, a pairing that works well for me with my pipes.
I’m a big fan of the original True Grit...probably my favorite JW movie...but I think comparing the new one with it is apples & oranges. The Coen bros. followed the novel much more closely (allegedly anyway, I never read it). Point being, they weren’t trying to re-make the previous film or its characters...and I think the new one must be watched with that in mind. I think Bridges pulled it off because he wasn’t trying to be John Wayne...he just played the character...and in a very different way than Wayne did.
