Full disclosure: I have not watched Lonesome Dove, but I'm going to. Are the sequels also worth watching?

Finally went back and started to watch it again. Anyone else still watching them or enjoyed them? I find myself going and researching the characters based on actual history. It’s a great series if you haven’t followed it.

Hiya! I'm looking for fiction set in the Old West with love between Latinas and American cowboys (white or black). Like “A Border Affair” (aka “Spanish is the Loving Tongue”). Novels, stories, and movies are all welcome. Thanks!

Lmk if you guys have seen it on Tubi!!

Just watched this excellent western for the first time in years. Released 48 years ago this month. KEOMA, staring Franco Nero, is a siblime shoot-em-up that is generally regarded as among the best in the genre. Glad I chose to be reminded why.

I was thinking about checking out this series that was on AMC, The American West. Has anyone seen it? What did you think?

2hr stereotypical, predictable western with an okay final shootout. The actors who played brothers, (not listed on poster), were good. Maybe it was the Jim Beam I consumed, but Lou Diamond Phillips seemed to channel Lee Van Cleef! Anyone else see this?

Check out side by side comparisons of actors making fast draws. Here is Glenn Ford vs Ben Cooper. https://youtu.be/ryZ3Qnbbrfc?si=PtKnZKUeMqiI4MRd

As Dr. Jones would say: this belongs in a museum.

These are mine:

1. Colonel Kirby Yorke (Río Grande)
2. Ethan Edwards (The Searchers)
3. Sheriff John T. Chance (Rio Bravo)

I don't use masterpiece very often, but damn this is one of them. Brennan winning the Oscar was well deserved.

I’d like to recommend a manhwa (Korean comic) called Wild West Murim. If you’re not familiar, manhwa is like manga (Japanese comics) but from Korea, and “Murim” refers to a world or setting centred around traditional martial arts, often featuring secretive martial arts societies and epic battles.

Wild West Murim blends this martial arts concept with a Western frontier setting, creating a fresh take on both genres.

The story is set in an empire ruled by politics and power enforced through martial arts. Over a thousand years, only the martial arts used by the Imperial Army have remained strong, while classic martial arts have nearly disappeared.

Enter our protagonist, Jang Geon, a passionate fan of traditional martial arts stories in his previous life. After being reincarnated into this world, he finds himself on the western frontier, where he sets out to bring back the classic martial arts he admires so much.

This manhwa is packed with action, character growth, and an exciting blend of martial arts and Western tropes. Think of it as Kung Fu meets a classic Western movie, but with a uniquely Korean twist.

It’s a great mix of duels, dusty landscapes, and a hero who travels around, encountering adventure and danger along the way.

I’m talking about the lounge singer who is still around and has been frequently associated with Las Vegas. He was on Bonanza in the 60s and he was singing with his guitar. I believe he’s originally from Virginia. I think he has jet black dyed here and he claims to be part Cherokee Indian. He’s very popular and he has a large following so I’m not talking about someone small time.

What do you think of the film "The Dead Don't Hurt"? Has anyone seen it? It only premieres today in Portugal.

I’m looking for a pdf of the above essay. The only websites that seem to host it look scammy and want a cc number.

So I’m hanging up a wanted poster and hoping has put eyes on it.

Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) and his iconic "mare's leg," a customized Winchester Model 1892 carbine.

What other weapons or gear stand out as memorable props in western movies and television shows? They may be associated with a specific character, movie/show, or perhaps just notable for their originality or significance to a storyline.

What are your expectations for Netflix's new western series, American Primeval? Have you heard of it?

Sure, the film isn't as rooted in fact as the likes of Tombstone or even Wyatt Earp but in neither of those films are the Clantons - or indeed the Cow Boys - depicted as menacing as the Clantons in My Darling Clementine.

From Old Man and Ike Clanton's first appearance in the film their intentions are clear. The auld fella piles on the charm when he meets Wyatt, but Ike's silent stare down of the marshal-turned-cowboy makes the scene feel uneven and uncomfortable. Old Man Clanton's cold-hearted, quotable line "When ya pull a gun, kill a man," as well as his beating his adult sons, emphasises his brutality.

They're polar opposites, and perfect foils, for the film's version of the Earps who - while capable and resolute - retain an affable persona that Clanton and his ape-like sons try and fail to conjure.
