Hot take: The Revenant looks great but is overpoweringly dumb.

It’s no big money rustlas, for sure

The very one. They did a big Ulmer retrospective series near me this year and I thought, "Well, heck, I'll see whatever this Western is," and I was unexpectedly blown away. I ran into an old college buddy afterwards and he was practically catatonic he loved it so much. It's so hard to have diamonds in the rough in the film world anymore with the internet and all but this one just popped us out of nowhere.

I had no idea this existed, thanks for posting about it. I loved it

I’m gonna be that guy and pint out that it’s the “cavalry trilogy”, as in horse Mounted military units, not “Calvary”, the place where Christ was crucified

Is Treasure of the Sierra Madre considered a Western? Because that movie is awesome and features a weird but great Bogart performance.

I don't see any way to argue it isn't one, really

Tbh I don’t think of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford as a western. Only the coda is set in the west (Missouri is technically west of the Mississippi but no one would call it the West) and it doesn’t really share any particular thematic qualities with most westerns. It’s a neo noir set in the 19th century. It’s got a lot more blood from Thieves Like Us, Heat, or The Friends of Eddie Coyle than any western

Yeah I always thought that was pretty funny, and Django is way more of a western than Jesse James

I like Duck You Sucker way more than the Dollar Trilogy.

Yeah i strongly disagree, Duck You Sucker is my favorite Leone and the most interesting by far. It's maybe not as accomplished as TGTBATU, I guess
