Krispy Wafer posted:Would Django Unchained be considered a western? It starts in Texas and then they spend some time in the frontier before heading back to the Deep South. That's kind of the whole point, what with Django being part of something of an unofficial franchise of movies sharing mostly only the name, so I'd say very much so. I think a lot of Tarantino's filmography is heavily and deliberately Western inspired in various places, what with him being a gigantic film nerd.

Gun was a pretty solid Western game, if we're still talking about that.

Inglourious Basterds is still Tarantino's best western movie.

My favorite thing in RDR2 is wearing the hat of the last guy I killed. Well, that or discovering that blasting the eugenics' guy's face off with a saw'd off shotgun wasn't considered a crime. In fact I turned and said howdy to a police officer that just stood there watching the whole thing.

Y'all are forgetting the best Western game ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCSfmVvHg8k Also like, most of the Wild Arms series probably counts, even if most of the games in the franchise are kind of hit or miss.

Gosh, I'm now old enough that Outlaws is my go-to Western game. All-star cast like John deLancie. At least I'm not quite old enough for it to be Custer's Revenge

I never seen them, but on itunes they have the complete series for Chuck for $20 and Dead Like Me for $9. Were those two shows still fun to watch for someone who never seen them before, or they have some creepy thing that ruins them?

Also everything after season 3 is bad if you're feeling generous. Everything after season 2 if you're not.

I don't recall anything horribly creepy but it's been a few years so I bet there's *something*.

HopperUK posted:Dead Like Me is worth your nine bucks, I think. I don't recall anything horribly creepy but it's been a few years so I bet there's *something*. Bryan Fuller quit after four episodes like he always does, and the second season played very fast and loose with the continuity, but there's enough great character interplay to make it work. Only the final TV movie didn't come up to scratch.

I'm watching Cheers for the first time and man there's some poo poo that has aged badly. Sam makes more than a couple threats of violence against Diane, and there's that whole scene of him slapping her flat-out in the face. And I'm not even that far into the series!

They uh, they kinda catch on that Sam is an awful monster and the latter seasons he constantly strikes out because women find him completely repulsive and immature while the rest of the patrons are played as pathetic and sad for still idolizing him

the most disappointing episode is the one where they seriously talk about how sam is a sex addict, and then the episode ends on a joke about sam wanting to do it with a woman from his sex addicts anonymous group

It didn’t do a lot of meandering because it wasn’t that type of show, but when it wanted to get poignant holy poo poo hold on to your shorts

I think Corner Gas has an episode where the characters get smaller and smaller phones until it becomes ridiculous, and then the characters start getting large phones.

Ignoring that Adam Baldwin is...problematic...Chuck’s titular character is basically a Nice Guy / White Knight, and the show eventually rewards that with romantic attention, which is probably the wrong message to send for that show’s core audience. I enjoyed it, but it’s not something I’d ever rewatch because I know I’d just be disappointed.
