Rango is so good. (Also a Deakins "shot" film)

The people who are going to see this movie want this kind of look over strapping a camera to a train and pensive shots of Brad Pitt looking off in the distance in a wheat field.

But yes. Tombstone and The Quick and the Dead are much better modern shootouts. gently caress, I want to rewatch Tombstone.

Kurt Russell's "Oh my god..." when he realises that the confrontation at the OK Corral is about to go hot is an great cinema moment imo. Usually heroes are more stoic, but he really wanted a non-violent resolution there. Not sure how accurate that is to real life Wyatt Earp but who gives a poo poo?

A recent western that I really liked was The Harder They Fall, fantastic cast and just a lot of fun which I think a lot of recent westerns lack.

Slow West was also a recent one that's really good, The Salvation has some rough spots but I'll watch Mads in anything.

I enjoyed both Slow West and The Salvation, though not as much as I had hoped to. While not a movie, I really enjoyed Godless (by the same guy who did The Queen's Gambit).

I saw that trailer with Shyamalan's name and didn't watch because I of course assumed it was M. Night himself. But learning that it's his daughter made me give it a chance. Looks cool. Love the lush greens.

It’s funny that he was the lead in one of the most highly regarded movies coming out of Sundance this year (this one) and one of the most contentious ones (Society of Magical Negroes). A man of contrasts. (I liked him in Detective Pikachu)

Saying the same thing I did after the Civil War trailer earlier this month: what the hell is up with the last edit?

(Edit: I guess it's teasing an iconic line of dialogue from the original, but I doubt "I'm right on top of that, Rose" had the cultural impact to serve as an "Avengers, assemble" type fake-out)

I watched the poo poo out of the original movie when I was a kid, but I had no idea what line they were referencing, literally until you mentioned it. I think they missed the mark.
