[Yeehaw] Just watched Tombstone for the first time. A Good Film. Although I'm gonna be a heathen and say I like Doc Holliday from Wynonna Earp more than the one from that lol
PrincessBatty
The tv series?
Eyebot
...yes
Eyebot
I can forgive his mustache
PrincessBatty
I've never seen it, I didn't know they had a Doc.
Eyebot
I'm shallow and think he's very nice haha
I'm shallow and think he's very nice haha
Eyebot
I mean, Wynonna Earp is a sort of ... Buffy-level affair in terms of being Generally Silly, but it's fun enough and Doc is a very fun character, though I have to admit I've not seen all of it
PrincessBatty
I'm running out of westerns to watch so I may have to give it a go
Eyebot
I... same. Though I am about to watch 3:10 to Yuma, so I guess that counts. I have a big collection of old Clint Eastwood films that're always fun (though I'm not into John Wayne) ... Deadwood is good, Westworld is good (at least season 1 and 2 were, not seen more) ...
Eyebot
Though take my opinion of stuff carefully, because I unironically love Wild Wild West and my first Western type film when I was a wee kiddo was Fievel Goes West so I have a weirdly placed bar for A Bit Silly But Sort Of Enjoyable Anyway
Bippy
I watched some of the old TV: Wild Wild West so I was so hyped for the movie
Eyebot
The movie was Ridiculous and Silly but ... I saw it at the cinema back when I was young, when it came out, and I remember having a nice time, so it might be daft but it has a special place in my heart, haha.
Bippy
it was very over the top. Giant steam-punk spider war machines make any movie 80% better
Eyebot
YES. That stupid steampunk spider, haha.

I tend to shy away from a lot of Western themed things? Just because I connect them so heavily to my conservative family's nonsense and having to watch Two Mules for Sister Sara five billion times when I was younger. But maybe I should try to change that up. Any recs specifically?
Eyebot
I mean, I'll always recommend the tv show of Westworld, because it's a high-budget western-themed android-y affair and I'm here for that, ditto Wynonna Earp, which isn't Western but takes themes from it and is a weird Girl With A Revenant Killing Gun thing.
Eyebot
I also like Rango, because I'm a child
Eyebot
I do like the Clint Eastwood films, but if you're scarred by Two Mules, I would avoid. 3:10 to Yuma is good, but sort of tragic. I also like Salvation, but this may or may not be because I really like Mads Mikkelsen
Eyebot
And my favourite film of all time is Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and I will die on that hill, so.
Eyebot
Not quite a western, but ... shhh
Bippy
Hey... Rango was good. lol
Eyebot
Rango was really good. The character design of Rattlesnake Jake is just ... /chef's kiss
Eyebot
Also, talking of things which aren't Westerns but also totally are really, The Mandalorian. It's 100% a Western.
Bippy
It was part Spaghetti Western part Hunter Thompson
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
Thank you! I just needed kind of a jumping point and now I've got some plans.
Eyebot
It's like a weird cross between Spaghetti Westerns and Kurosawa films which ... I think was intentional, especially since the former were influenced by the latter. Even the theme tune sounds like the one from the anime Samurai 7.
Eyebot
Also obviously RDR2! Not a film/series, obviously, but ... very good western. Just if you watch a play-through don't judge me on my character taste haha
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
I very much loved the first game, and... I watched some of the side stuff from RDR2.
Eyebot
Ooh. c: Well... Javier is a cinnamon roll, Micah is trash and Charles is a perfect beloved angel and I can't apologise for liking any of them ... except Micah idek he's horrible
Eyebot
Arthur's a great protagonist though. I didn't actually play RDR1 so it baffled me that people wanted to play as John
Bippy
RDR 1&2 Have no right being so good. Honestly they're better westerns than some film/tv ones.
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
I honestly love how we trash our favs. Yes, they're awful! Yes, they're problematic. They're bastards! 
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
No one recognizes it more than the fans okay.
Bippy
I'm trash though... two of my favorite westerns are Blazing Saddles and Cannibal: The Musical
Sun Pumpkin
Westerns aren’t as much my thing, but if you don’t like John Wayne you might like the remake of True Grit
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
Duly noted! Thank you!
PrincessBatty
Hidalgo is amazing
PrincessBatty
Unforgiven is a masterpiece though deeply sad
PrincessBatty
Tombstone and Wyatt Earp (two different films) are both very good.
PrincessBatty
I even enjoy the extremely cracky Oblivion movies. But I am a B movie lover and Fullmoon Pictures will always have my heart.
PrincessBatty
I've just recently rewatched Deadwood and Hell on Wheels
PrincessBatty
I had started Godless, probably need to restart it cause I forgot where I was.
PrincessBatty
Bone Tomahawk and Burrowers are both good wester horrors
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
Thank you so much. Seriously, this has given me a great list.
PrincessBatty
Ravenous is a black comedy more than straight up horror
PrincessBatty
You might dig Jonah Hex if you liked the new Wild Wild West
ʟᴜɪɢɪ ʙᴏᴀʀᴅ
I've got such a big list now.
Eyebot
Ravenous with Robert Carlyle?? /adds tobown list
Eyebot
To own**
PrincessBatty
Yes! He is fantastic in it, as he is in everything
Eyebot
Definitely watching that, I love him. I am ... I have to admit, one if Stargate Universe's 4 fans haha
Eyebot
Of* excuse typos, my phone's keyboard is an arse
