That may have been Halloween 5 (or 4, 6, etc)-I think she was trying for a come back at the time.
Ive never seen any of them fully through cept I think the first one with Jamie Lee Curtis in it. I hated the rest and didnt care much for the one Curtis was in but watched it only because she was in it.
Im not trying to be mean but--as Kim Darby looked in that movie--she was scarier looking than the killer was.
Nice shots all. Also, did you all know that the character that Kim Darby played in one of those stupid halloween movies--got axed by the freak in the movie. She was next to some white (figures too) sheets hung out to dry and she lost her glasses and was looking for them when the freak gave her 50 whacks. I saw it posted on youtube.
I thought the same thing, then I learned they are the guys who did O Brother Where Art Thou? which in some ways was a good movie, and other ways it wasn't.

Im kinda wondering if these guys will make a few movies and then move on-kinda like what happened to Golan-Globus, that were popular in the 1980's and early 1990's.
I THINK I have heard of the title you mention above, but if so, I know nothing about it. 
Your remark doesn't make a helluva lot of sense to me. You admit she played the part of Mattie Ross to perfection but say you can't stand her.
I thought just about everyone in the film turned in great, or at least good performances, including Glenn Campbell. In fact, I think Duvall as Lucky Ned Pepper should have received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
I may be right or wrong but, I think what the Lt is trying to say is, that he had no problem with the character and how it was portrayed, but that he just can't stand who played that character. Same as me, I can't stand the actress-no I don't hate-I just can't stand her. Same thing could be said about me for the likes of george cLOONEY. But that's a different story and for other reasons.
If im wrong, then I apologize.
PS, I used to think the same way about a few other actors and actresses. For instance, I used to not care much for Eli Wallach, Barbara Stanwyck, James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. However, every one of these actors and actresses, are among my favorites now-and those who know mw-know that James Cagney is another one of my all-time most favorites. I can watch him as much as I can watch Duke. 
Not to sidetrack too much but, one of my all-time most favorite lines from Cagney was from: The Fighting 69th. It was: "Take your hands off me you son of a Banshee or i'll knock your teeth down your throat." For many years, I thought the word Banshee was actually one of the words from the curse: SOB-because of the way he sounded when he said it.
Display MoreI think you are being unfair on Kim and Glen. I accept they were both inexperienced when True Grit was being made but both put in more than acceptable performances. The play between the three characters is what makes the movie.
Just as a after thought do you know there was serious thought by Hal Wallis to Elvis Presley playing LeBoueff role.
In regard, to a possible remake whilst not fussed about it personally I think there is scope to make a decent movie in the right hands. However, I dont think the Coen Brothers are the film makers for the job.
Mike
Hi Mike, I had not known that Elvis had been considered for that role. If he'd been in the film, i'd definately like it more than I now do.
I can't make any judgement about the Coen Bros as I never heard of them before seeing this thread-even though they do look unkept-same as michael moore.. That alone probably tells you I don't go see movies in the theater often-nor do I rent many from the video store either ;-)) In fact, I can't 100% sure-remember the title of the last movie I watched at the theaters? Possibly it might have been that Christmasy movie with Kathy Bates as Santa (and his Brother-whose name I can't think of) Mother. I can't remember but, I think his Bros name was Fred????
I don't get it. If you all didn't like Kim's part and you didn't like Glen's part....then do you just like True Grit because Duke was in it?
I think Kim did an excellent job in the part of Mattie. She played the part just as it was in the novel. Glen more than pulled his weight as LeBoueff as well. You have to read the book and you will see that they both portrayed the characters they were as it was meant to be played. That's just my opinion. True Grit is a classic because of the main 3 characters.
Mark
Hi Mark, that's basically correct about me liking the movie only because of Duke being in it. Im sorry but, I never could stand Kim Darby. WHat I did like about Glen Campbell was when he sang one of my all time favorite songs: "Southern Nights." 
I have no problem with the two characters-only in just who played the girl.
Take care and best regards--C.
Glenn Campbell was annoying too. Despite these negatives, "True Grit" was still a great movie. They should just let it alone.
Cheers - Jay
Hi Jay, come to think of it, I agree with you and he was irritating to see in that movie.
The only thing I did not like about the original one and ONLY True Grit-was that little girl.
Besides, she has not done much of anything since. Also, im not going to watch it if they do make it. Sorry to sound so abrupt but, apparently those brothers are............stupid!
One brother should be wearing a bright yellow t-shirt that says in bold black letters: "I'm With Stupid! and has an arrow pointing to the other brother wearing similar t-shirt that simply says: Stupid.
