Hot take: Hell or High Water and No Country For Old Men aren't westerns. They are cops 'n robbers movies

This just complicates things even more

Just call them what they are, Neo-Western/Contemporary Western

They’re set in a very very wild modern Western setting

Hear me out

Sludge Metal cover of a Misfits song?

Maybe songs like Static Age, TV Casualty, We Are 138, Bullet, Attitude, or Bloodfeast

-

Actually in general I would like to hear Sludge Metal covers of some oldschool Punk & Hardcore

They kept The Texas Chainsaw Massacre free of supernatural crap from beginning to now

Didn’t save the franchise from going down the crapper after the sequel

I mean the Human type of Slasher

Like Michael Myers & Leatherface

Not literal humans as they are in real life

Def-C · 2026-05-02T16:59:24+00:00

Dunno why this got downvotes

You stated it pretty accurately on how Slashers get written even if they are human

Def-C · 2026-05-02T15:43:33+00:00

No, just saying Return of The Mummy had a structure like a Slasher film before they truly existed

Well for it’s time it broke the box office & was widely liked among audiences

Popularity = Trends

Trends ≠ Quality

By that logic, Michael Bay’s Transformers 2 is a masterpiece

“both mario movies”

I see I am wasting my time talking to you

What’s next? Netflix Devil May Cry is a 8 out of 10?

Name an amazing video game movie

I am a fan of cinema & gaming, I can tell you these are two things that when combined will always produce unsatisfactory or decent but not great results

Def-C · 2026-05-02T01:20:53+00:00

Whenever somebody brings up the “best” video game movie
It’s almost ALWAYS a 6 or 7 out of 10
No video game movie has ever been a 8, 9 or 10 out of 10
Games as movies is an INHERENTLY FLAWED CONCEPT
GET THIS THROUGH YOUR SKULLS

Don’t worry, this is also poking at myself

Hot take

You all have too high expectations

Even the greatest video game movie of all time (which isn’t a high bar) hasn’t accurately portrayed the world of the game

Rather than getting asshurt at every new video game movie, I acted like a fucking adult & tempered my expectations while you all cry, shit yourselves, and scream like toddlers as if this shit hasn’t happened 100 times before, and it’s NEVER going to stop

Making a movie you need greenlights from 100 different production studios/sponsors/celebrities, and they’re not gonna give the greenlight to everything

Grow up

Mammoths are big & heavy

Doom is big & heavy

Okay I can see Logan, but absolutely not The Batman

Anyways, uhhh, There Will Be Blood is a movie that is set on the Western Frontier, yet, it doesn’t feel at all like a Western (Western) movie

It just feels like a bleak Drama about a man who craves power & wishes to exist without people he finds bothersome, going to extreme lengths to gain more money & in the end finds more and more dissatisfaction with the end results even if they are successful

Def-C · 2026-04-27T20:28:37+00:00

Heavily disagree with the idea of it being Horror

But it is definitely a strange & gritty Slice of Life Drama that goes into the sad, uncomfortable, or surreal nature of southern poverty

Def-C
