TV/Movies Megathread

[celedhring]

You know, you made me look it up, and certainly horror westerns are a nonexistent genre. I guess it isn't surprising, given that the intersection between horror audiences and the (meagre) western audiences must be around 2-3 people.

The film comes out in April on DVD over here, will see if it gets added somewhere for rental.

There was an HBO movie, James Earl Jones was in it.  Came out years ago. Western Horror.  Ghosts and such.  Maybe it was Showtime.

Priest (2011/12?) was kinda of a post apocalyptic horror western IIRC.

[The Larch]

What about Ravenous?

[Zanza]

WINNER! Best original score: Ennio Morricone for The Hateful Eight

I read that it's his first Oscar, which is really surprising as he is one of the very few composers of film music that I actually know.

His work for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or Once Upon A Time in the West wasn't even nominated.

Why no Shameless this week?

Watched Bone Tomahawk last night on Amazon Prime.  Now there's a genre I wasn't aware existed--a Horror Western.  Great film.

8 bone neck-whistles out of 10.

There's a Tremor movie set in the old West as well as a vampire flick From Dusk 'til Dawn.

Those aren't Westerns.

(meagre) western audiences

Westerns are still great, it's just modern audiences like variety in our adventure movie settings.

His work for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly or Once Upon A Time in the West wasn't even nominated. 

He had received a honorific one a few years ago, this is the first one he receives from a nomination. Regarding his lack of awards, bear in mind that Spaghetti Westerns were considered B-movies and not prestigious back in their day, the critical re-evaluation that made them the classics that they are now took place later than their time.

It was said that his work for Once Upon a Time in America was a shoe-in for the award back in 1984, but the producer didn't file the paperwork on time for it to be considered.

I like westerns, but very few get made every year.

Heh, I just learnt that a friend of mine actually has the Spanish rights to Bone Tomahawk. He's handling the release over here.

I'll ask for a review BR 

[The Brain]

Not into ethnic porn.

bah.  They have six shooters, horses and they dress like cowboys.  Close 'nuff for me!

that's why the studios have 600 super heroes movies lined up for the next 5 years

[Eddie Teach]

They don't have nearly that many.

And of course, superhero stuff doesn't all use the same setting. For instance, Guardians of the Galaxy is set on other planets. Captain America & Agent Carter are set in the 1940s. The Wolverine movies are set at various times in the past. Even the modern day superhero movies are all over the globe. As are the not-quite-superhero fare like Mission Impossible and Die Hard sequels.
