3:10 to Yuma (2007)

[The Peacemaker]

On the contrary Firecracker, I think 3:10 to Yuma will be a big success.

Like I said in another thread, it's getting a huge amount of publicity. I saw the poster for it in every subway station around the New York area. Plus, it's rated R so we won't get the usual "PG-13 tomfoolery" that you mentioned.

How is Deadwood doing on HBO? I hear it's good.

Maybe the Western is making a come back. Who knows whether or not if this is a good thing, because I agree with The Firecracker here, if we get a string of shitty westerns as a result of the success of 3:10 to Yuma.

But who knows, Unforgiven won Oscars and the Western genre wasn't as popular as ever, we've had some good ones and some shitty ones.

We'll just have to wait and see. We first have to see the movie in order to see if it's actually a good western. All this advertising to me means they want to make money on  a Western, but is it going to be good quality Western like Open Range and the Propsition? Or just shit like American Outlaws (IMO)?

Deadwood ended a year ago. They're going to make two TV movies and then finish.

I just read recently that they're not doing the TV movies now because the actor's are busy doing other work. This was on darkhorizon's a few weeks ago. I'm extremely pissed about this!

It has nothing to do with that. The show was canceled because it was way too expensive and HBO felt that the show wasn't pulling in enough viewers to justify the high cost.

Back to the original topic, here's the poster that is posted in all the subway stations:

A critic calls 3:10 to Yuma "The best Western since Unforgiven"

Erm. . . it doesn't really have much competition does it?

Not really, excluding Open Range.

Haven't seen that, so I can't comment.

 For selfish reasons.


Right now the western is in the anal of the world.
Nobody will make one for fear of it being a failure.

This is good.

Fear makes people cautious.
When somebody is cautious of what their doing, more often than not, they will triumph.


If this is a mega hit the studious will make more in a hurry. They'll churn as much crap (watered down, pg-13 tom foolery) as they can to make a quick buck.

Plus, the remakes score will suck.

I'd rather have 1 great western every ten years than have ten shitty one's every two.

Your logic makes no sense. You don't have to go to see the crappy movies, do you? Some people make better movies when they're cautious, but I think more often they are more afraid to take risks. And I'd say it's a law of nature that if there are a lot of films produced most of them are bad or mediocre but there are always great ones among.

Agreed. Firecracker, you're not Satan, but this is an extraordinarily dumb and incomprehensible argument driven only by cynicism. I could eat a box of Alpha-Bits and crap a better argument.

I read in a review that this film has a great FILM SCORE. How come I can't find it for sale anywhere? If I watch the film tonight and I love the film's music, and I can't buy it, I will be pissed!!!!

[Tucumcari Bound]

I've just seen it!!!!!!!!

I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say it's a pretty darn good western with great acting, outstanding cinematograhy, and great action. There's many nods to the original film, but it's a bit different in a lot of ways. This contains one of the best villain performances in recent years by the way of Ben Foster. He was something to watch. Of course, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale were stellar as usual.

Go see it ASAP, especially if you're a western film fan, as all of us are here. I rank it ahead of recent westerns "Tombstone", "The Proposition", and "Seraphem Falls". However, it's not better than the masterpiece "Unforgiven", and "Open Range" in my opinion. James Mangold has directed three great films already as is a director you should take notice.
