    Yeah it really is. I'd rather they did these as contained stories rather than trying to build up a load of backstory and lore. Just pick a new setting where you can do different stuff with it.

    I found Avatar on blu ray in a charity shop the other day and decided to add it to my collection for posterity, as it was the 'go to' disc prior to the advent of 4K.

    It is just so long, it is hard to stay invested in such a long film (or should I say a long film with a narrative stretched too far). The visuals are great but it definitely reeks of James Cameron at his worst, god knows what these sequels are going to look like.

    It's long and when you're not watching it on a big IMAX screen the spectacle of the thing, which is basically all it ever had going for it, is gone.

    Cameron is so weird about the film too.

    https://www.empireonline.com/movies/...-up-exclusive/

    “The trolls will have it that nobody gives a shit and they can’t remember the characters’ names or one damn thing that happened in the movie,” he says. “Then they see the movie again and go, ‘Oh, okay, excuse me, let me just shut the fuck up right now.’ So I’m not worried about that.”

    “I don’t want anybody whining about length when they sit and binge-watch [television] for eight hours,” he says. “I can almost write this part of the review. ‘The agonisingly long three-hour movie…’ It’s like, give me a fucking break. I’ve watched my kids sit and do five one-hour episodes in a row. Here’s the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it’s okay to get up and go pee."

    I've entered a bit of a "Clint Eastwood Westerns" phase recently, some of which I have seen before and some of which I haven't.

    High Plains Drifter is quite a fucking dark film, not exactly what I was expecting! Pale Rider is like a "nicer" version of it. The Outlaw Josey Wales is great but it's a bit long and he has a bit too much plot armour in it. Unforgiven is, like, basically perfect.

    I randomly started yearnin some good Western action. Ain't been exposed to it since I was about 10, have fond memories that I hope don't get tarnished. Unforgiven is a good starting point probs.

    I rewatched The Revenant yesterday which is sort of a western, beautiful film and I forgot how good Tom Hardy is in it.

    I watched The Revenant on Christmas Day 2016 when my entire family (including me) was ill with flu and we hadn't eaten or drunk a morsel for days. It seemed to last for about fifteen hours, and by the time it finished I was in about as good a condition as he was.

    Never gone back as I'm convinced I had the perfect experience with it.

    The Hateful 8 gets a lot of stick, but I think it's ace.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is obviously the king.

    I probably should give Hateful 8 another go at some point, but I thought it was pretty wank the first time round.

    The Hateful 8 is great but it is hard to follow Django and the gallons of blood.

    Unforgiven probably the best modern western but Bone Tomahawk is a great twist on the genre.

    The Revenant is good.

    Which one is the one with Russell Crowe? That one was good too. True Grit was not bad either.

    I know what he means though. It's modern in the way that it approaches the genre. Not to say "revisionist Westerns" didn't exist before that film came out, they did. But maybe not to that extent.

    I'm on with the "Man With No Name" trilogy at the moment. A Fistful of Dollars is great. Lot's of close ups of Clint squinting menacingly. Mugging people off for laughing at his horse. Generally being a proper hard case.

    For a Few Dollars More I still really loved (Lee Van Cleef is a great addition) but I was slightly less enamoured with (I felt like it was dragging a bit, or something) until the last ten minutes pulled it right back up. The final stand off in that film is maybe the most quintessentially Western thing I've seen yet, in all the right ways. You can see why people worship Morricone for the scores.

    Although bear in mind I haven't seen The Good, The Bad and The Ugly yet, which I know is generally considered the pinnacle. If it tops those two it will be quite something.

    I love all 3 of them, but The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is just awesome. The finale manages to even surpass Dollars More.

    Everyone has a guilty pleasure film right?

    For me it’s frequency. My friend mocks me about it highlighting it was once available as a free dvd with the sun.

    I rewatched it recently though and still bloody love it.

    Tell me your own.

    Forgot that film existed. Watched it ages ago with my dad and remember enjoying it. I vividly remember the bit where he carves the desk.

    Yeah more modern as in not the golden age of westerns. High Noon is great though apparently the remake someone made because they were angry the sheriff in High Noon is a beta cuck soy boy is alright too.

    A classic. It’s complete nonsense with no real explanation of why what’s happening is happening, but it’s absolutely great.

    Wrestling Ernest Hemingway for me. I’m not even embarrassed to admit it’s the only film to make me cry. Two relatively big leads in Robert Duvall and Richard Harris, a personal favourite of mine in Sandra Bullock, it having WRESTLING in the title, and not really that much happens - what’s not to enjoy. It’s like a long episode of a filler episode of Home and Away, and it’s great.

    I fucking love High Fidelity.

    I suppose it is a bit of a guilty pleasure though, in that all three characters who work in the record shop are undoubtedly "music snob" wankers and I identify with them all on at least some level.

    My guilty pleasure is The Gamechangers. The BBC thing about GTA with Daniel Radcliffe as one of the Houser's and Bill Paxton as Jack Thompson. I don't think it's seen the light of day since 2015. Rockstar called it 'random, made up bollocks' which, when you base it off a book where access to the studio was incredibly limited, is the best you can hope for.

    It's so shite.
