>>212002448 And yet he's the best gunslinger in the film. Sometimes washed-up old dudes still have a spark. American movies used to understand that.

>>212002448 John Wayne's rooster cogburn was a washed up fat old drunk who agreed to help a little girl for $50 because he was that broke, and walked like a fag.

>>212002644 Two likely reasons: 1.) You're supposed to stand when a lady addresses you in that era, not sit with your legs spread like your cock rashes bothering you. 2.) He, unlike the man who spoke to Maddie, never did time for his crimes.
It's mostly the first one, though.

>>212002448 Yes, have you read the novel? It's accurate to that. And Rooster is that way so when the climax arrives, you can see his fundamental character - under the fat, booze, sloth, and pride - is true grit. You know, hence the name of the fucking story.
