Martin Scorsese made a Western.
Reviews are strong. I knew watching nothing but Westerns for months was leading up to something, I just didn’t know what. |

It looks damned good, and Leo will probably win another Oscar for doing another Western. Hollywood needs to bring the great American Western back, spending months only watching Westerns gave me a real insight into how badly that genre is missed nowadays.

Just saw it. It’s great. Everyone is really good. Best Deniro performance since I couldn’t tell you when.

Jesse Plemons shouldve been the lead.

I think it worked out pretty well.
I got in the book he is the main character. |

The way everyone decries the superhero genre currently, I'm pretty sure Westerns "ran their course" as Hollywood humped that well dry for features and television until the spy craze took dominance. Then, the gritty cop films and police procedural TV. Blockbuster science fiction. Fairly faithful Young Adult novel and classic literary adaptations (as opposed to being butchered to hell for time and/or content... before the Peter Jackson "Lord of the Rings", high fantasy was considered a dead end, those books in particular were considered not lucrative, and it was "conventional wisdom" that nobody would sit in a theater for longer than about 120min tops.) I'm pretty sure Westerns will make a comeback, but when they do in full force, it will be to the detriment of anything else. Sure, you'll get occasional good shit like Hell or High Water or the umpteenth retelling of The Magnificent Seven/Seven Samuari, but it'll eventually get oversaturated with Johnny-come-lately schlock from the places that initially said it would never work. They'll just retool movies already in the works, but make the protagonist wear shit kickers and a hat. |

He may have a point but when I read “Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai” as if the former wasn’t a remake of the latter it put paid to any notion of me caring.
