Appaloosa

[Jessooker]

I think it looks like it could be good. The cast is great, Harris, Mortensen and Irons. Let's forget about Zellweger. It's also directed by Harris. Also, where has Jeremy Irons been lately?

in jail for killing Mufasa?

[Ailite]

I've been looking forward to this for awhile and the trailer looks great. Viggo's going to have a good year.

[jwelborn]

So did this just get released, i've been looking for it a lot recently?

edit: the trailer

[drudo182]

Not sure I can watch any previews you put up anymore after that Death Race thread popped up last week (by you).

hahaha i need my horrible jason statham adrenaline fix.

[drudo182]

The Statham makes people do the craziest things.

[Ailite]

like whatever the fuck happened in Crank made him do in Crank

but hey, THe Bank Job was great.

[ToastedHedgehog]

hahaha i need my horrible jason statham adrenaline fix.
haha. He should have just watched a bunch of his own movies in Crank.

[drudo182]

like whatever the fuck happened in Crank made him do in Crank

He has an appeal for sure. It's not him I don't like but rather some of the horrid movies he's in.

Plus I really can't stand that Paul W.S. Anderson boof.

[drudo182]

I haven't seen Crank yet either... It's in my queue.

[Ailite]

Yeah I like the guy but he does a lot of really bad movies.

[drudo182]

Looking over his movies, Cellular is my favorite. That's not counting Collateral because I don't remember him at all in that one.

Not Snatch or Lock, Stock? :-0

[jwelborn]

The Italian Job and The Bank Job are probably my favorites of his.

[drudo182]

Not Snatch or Lock, Stock? :-0

Whoah. Totally didn't scroll down enough.

Well, that changes my pick to Snatch. Lock, Stock is great as well. How could I forget when Guy Ritchie was good...?

[ToastedHedgehog]

Whoah. Totally didn't scroll down enough.

Well, that changes my pick to Snatch. Lock, Stock is great as well. How could I forget when Guy Ritchie was good...?
Hahaha. I'm still excited for RocknRolla.

[Jessooker]

He needs to drop Madonna.

[drudo182]

Hahaha. I'm still excited for RocknRolla.

Me too. I still see all of his movies but I get more upset every time. What was the deal with Revolver?

He needs to drop Madonna.

Truth. For a number of reasons. Big, big, big mistake.

[ToastedHedgehog]

He needs to drop Madonna.
oh god, yes. She's so freakishly muscular and gross.

[drudo182]

oh god, yes. She's so freakishly muscular and gross.

Not to mention a huge whore.

[coryatlarge]

wow this looks good.... i love me some westerns

[drudo182]

Ouch, I completely forgot that this was a thread for something other than Jason Statham/The fall of Guy Ritchie.

[ToastedHedgehog]

Ouch, I completely forgot that this was a thread for something other than Jason Statham/The fall (and possible redemption) of Guy Ritchie.
fixed with optimism.

[drudo182]

fixed with optimism.

We can only hope. I watched the short film he did for BMW Films a week or so again. I love it.

That DVD is great. I think his short is the best one.

Actually, the one with Clive Owen is probably the best but this one is still good.

[CTMarshall]

haha this thread turned into a Madonna basher pretty quick...which is awesome!

i still need to see that.

[drudo182]

i still need to see that.

Well, I said my favorite was the Clive Owen one but he's in all of them. I meant my favorite was the one directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

[Jessooker]

oh thank you!

[drudo182]

oh thank you!

No problem.

Here is the one Guy Ritchie did. My second favorite one.

[Jessooker]

the clive owen one was great.

[drudo182]

the clive owen one was great.

Well, he's in all of them. He's The Driver.

[Jessooker]

Well, he's in all of them. He's The Driver.

ohhh i see.

[coryatlarge]

Ouch, I completely forgot that this was a thread for something other than Jason Statham/The fall of Guy Ritchie.
the truth hurts

[IAmNietzche]

Because for some inexplicable reason the other thread turned into a conversation about Jason Statham's best film.

This looks to continue the trend of great Westerns released in the past few years (The Proposition, 3:10 to Yuma).

As stated in the other thread, great cast and, though Harris has only directed one film before, it was fantastic and undoubtedly his finest performance. The book is great too. Alot of reasons to be excited about this one.

[Adeniz19]

this looks pretty good. this is shaping up to be a really good fall for movies.

[poppa Q]

Don't forget The Assassination of Jesse James, too. Looking forward to this though...I think the reason why these westerns are succeeding is because of the perfect casting and subsequently the quality acting that comes from it.

[poppa Q]

this looks pretty good. this is shaping up to be a really good fall for movies.

Agreed.

[Ailite]

I love Westerns, I hope their resurgence keeps up.

[CstSnow]

I love Westerns, I hope their resurgence keeps up.

Same here, The Searchers is in my top 5 of all time.
And this looks like it will be pretty good.

That's almos my favorite Westen, it gets beaten by The Good The Bad and The Ugly

[a speedo model]

God, I love Tombstone.

I just wanted to add that.

[coryatlarge]

God, I love Tombstone.

I just wanted to add that.
a good add it was

open range anyone?

[Ailite]

a good add it was

open range anyone?
Open Range is great, though I think it should have a little more action

Val Kilmer is so good in Tombstone

[Adeniz19]

val kilmer was the only decent thing in tombstone and i usually can't stand val kilmer

[coryatlarge]

Open Range is great, though I think it should have a little more action

Val Kilmer is so good in Tombstone
i agree with both parts of your post.... i loved the start of the shoot out in open range though.... something like "you the one who shot our friend?" "yeah." BLAM!!
so realistic ya know? no everybody shooting like crazy and no bullets hitting anybody.
val kilmer was the only decent thing in tombstone and i usually can't stand val kilmer
i liked sam elliot too :shrug:

Yeah even though its a long Western with only one gunfight in it, that one gunfight is so well done that it works pretty well.

[coryatlarge]

Yeah even though its a long Western with only one gunfight in it, that one gunfight is so well done that it works pretty well.
yeah i liked that it was like that though.... i mean it makes it more like i think it really was ya know? like there wasnt always a gunfight everyother day for the most part but when that shit went down it was for reals!

[IAmNietzche]

Unforgiven
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Once Upon a Time in the West
Wild Bunch

[Ailite]

yeah i liked that it was like that though.... i mean it makes it more like i think it really was ya know? like there wasnt always a gunfight everyother day for the most part but when that shit went down it was for reals!
Indeed. Pulling off a western with lots of action is hard but 3:10 To Yuma nailed it.

[coryatlarge]

Unforgiven
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Once Upon a Time in the West
Wild Bunch
haha this is the official western thread

well its not hard per sey.... its just that sometimes its nice to see a movie that pays homeage to how the west was and not how hollywood has made it all actiony

[Bob Payne]

Looks awesome. Top notch actors, and I'm willing to forgive the casting of Renee Zellweger.

[Ailite]

haha this is the official western thread

well its not hard per sey.... its just that sometimes its nice to see a movie that pays homeage to how the west was and not how hollywood has made it all actiony
Well said

[coryatlarge]

Well said
hahahahaha did you like my new word? actiony?

[IAmNietzche]

In my opinion, Unforgiven is the best Western (haha) ever made.

[coryatlarge]

In my opinion, Unforgiven is the best Western (haha) ever made.
you mean haha like its not a western?

[poppa Q]

He's LOLing at "best western." But to answer your question, it is indeed a western, just the revisionist of its genre.

[coryatlarge]

[gusta0117]

this looks so good.

i love the actors.

after 3:10 to yuma i went western crazy and watched more recent films/tv like three burials, proposition, assassination of jesse james and deadwood.'


this better be playing around me. i hate that its a limited release

[gusta0117]

Not the biggest fan of Viggo but maybe I will be after Appaloosa and The Road.



history of violence and eastern promises werent enough?

and hell, i love lord of the rings.


and hidalgo was alright too

[IAmNietzche]

Saw this at the Boston Film Festival a few days ago. It was AWESOME! Viggo and Ed were very very good. Definitely go see this. I liked it better than 3:10.

[dissident]

ed harris is such a badass.

[mht]

Open Range is great, though I think it should have a little more action

Val Kilmer is so good in Tombstone


did you uhh, close your fucking eyes and cover your ears at the end of the movie or...?

[Adrian Villagomez]

This looks so cool. It's A History of Violence reunion!

[gusta0117]

better than 3:10? ahh

3:10 suprised the shit out of me.
it was too excellent.


im going to end up driving over an hour to see this

[AshesAshes]

Cant wait to see this movie, I love westerns and this looks like quality.

[Adeniz19]

need to see this

[Jared Kaufman]

I find Viggo to be incredibly overrated, but I really want to see this for some reason. And I'm not even really a Western fan (before someone jumps on me, I do love 3:10 and Jesse James).

[domotime2]

okay okay....im goin to play dumb here.

i need to know what makes this movie stand out, over other westerns?

[Adeniz19]

okay okay....im goin to play dumb here.

i need to know what makes this movie stand out, over other westerns?hard to answer that until someone here actually sees it. but so far it has a good cast, i like the visuals from the trailer and looks like an interesting story

[IAmNietzche]

I didn't like Viggo before I saw this movie. He is sooo good.

[IAmNietzche]

okay okay....im goin to play dumb here.

It is very character driven. It has two male leads with a bond that really hasn't been seen in a western before. I'd characterize it as totally heterosexual, badass guy love.

Really good film.

[domotime2]

all right because im really not into this genre...but i do love ed harris...
is it compelling? great story line, that keeps you engaged until the end?

[dissident]

i do love me some hetero badass bro love.

[Jared Kaufman]

Seeing this in 30 minutes, stoked.

[jusscali]

I want to see this so fucking badly.

[gusta0117]

i might go see this tonight.

i would have to drive an hour. it seems worth it.

[jusscali]

Had anyone else seen it that has some good insight - I'm always down for people's opinions.

[jwelborn]

I'll be seeing this, blindness and nick and norah this weekend. Honestly im most excited for Blindness even though its getting ripped apart.

[Ailite]

I can't wait to see this, even though my theater didn't get it which I don't understand

[chokeychicken]

i think kaufman went to go see this today. interested to see what he thinks.

[gusta0117]

yeahh kaufman tells us what you think

our lives depend on you


edit: its too late now. i dont want to rush to the 720 showing that is over an hour away.
im just gonna see 2 shitty movies tonight instead.

[Bob Payne]

This was hilariously (maybe purposely) melodramatic.

[SLADE775]

Nothing like a well made modern-western.

[airik625]

why can't you post in the "appaloosa" thread?

[Roboman]

Because he is SLADE. He doesn't have to follow the rules, he made them!

[TJ Wells]

Except a "meh" made modern western, like this one.

[colorlesscliche]

Well that's good; considering I don't care what you think.

[TJ Wells]

[TJ Wells]

Slade. You know I wouldn't say that to you.
Yeah. Speaking of Slade, when did he return?

[itsmesean0630]

lol, was this all just moved into here?
I came in here and saw the same thread I saw earlier. Totally confused me.

When did Slade gain permission to join AP.net again?

[popdisaster00]

As far as I'm concerned, it was a well-executed film.

[jwelborn]

Finally saw this, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Appaloosa is definitely one of my favorites of this year.
