Tombstone. I’ll never understand why this movie is so lauded. My cousin can watch it on repeat, I think it’s derivative, cheesy fluff. And I love Kurt Russell.

Oh, interesting. Has your cousin ever tried to convince you otherwise?

Lol. Repeatedly. So has most of the Internet. I actually tried watching it about a month ago after reading yet another post about how great it was. Years since I’d seen it and thought maybe I’d misjudged it. 40 minutes in and I could takes no more. It still sucks.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm a hundred percent with you. I thought I'd give it a try because is generally well considered, but I had to turn it off like 10 minutes in, just something about it doesn't sit well with me. And I also love Kurt Russell and John Ford and Henry Fonda's version of the story.

You must not be a fan of westerns then.. Some people aren’t. Have you ever seen Open Range?? That one is a little more realistic and super good. But tombstone is my favorite

Meh. Kind of presumptive. Fucking love a well done western. Some examples of my faves in no particular order. Unforgiven, true grit (Bridges/Damon), 3:10 to Yuma (Bale/Crowe) The hateful eight of course. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. Outlaw Josey Wales is a sentimental fav, doesn’t hold up as well as some. Django. That’s off the top, my ocd is activating cuz im prob leaving one out… I actually have an old dvd of open range, never got around to it. A good one you might not have seen and I highly recommend is Appaloosa. Ed Harris passion project with his buddy Viggo. Low budget but it’s hard to tell. Sorry for the formatting. Phone
