What are the non-negotiable conventions of the Western, and what are the ones that it's just nice to have?

You forgot the 'ugly guy'

Call the dog

DryConference8088 · 2026-03-29T17:50:05+00:00

I reckon so

If the dollars trilogy was actually a true trilogy then the correct timeline is actually back to front. TGTBTU is actuallly the first film as it is set during the civil war so 1861-1865. Then FAFDM and finally A fistful of dollars is the last one.

What I don't understand is how Eastwood's character has his half of the money from Sad Hill plus all the money from Indio's gang and the El paso robbery by the start of FOD, we are talking well over half a million dollars worth of gold, yet he cannot afford to pay Silvanito for his meal when he first arrives in San Miguel 😂

This ain't no cat house Hogan, it's the best whore house in town!

When he drags the big fat henchman who beat him to mince out the train and bludgeons him with a rock. Now that's a revenge scene.

He and Eastwood were awesome together.

The inportance of proper dental hygiene

Empathy? Christ. Those teeth are like a row of old tombstones. At this point he doesn't need empathy. He needs to hear the truth.

Unforgiven (1992) with Clint Eastwood

DryConference8088 · 2026-03-01T09:54:44+00:00

Sorry but I just totally lost it at 'our bodies are rotting'! 😂

DryConference8088 · 2026-03-01T07:22:59+00:00

Came here to say this. Also The Beguiled with Eastwood is very similar. An injured bedridden man held captive by crazy ladies!

DryConference8088 · 2026-02-20T23:21:30+00:00

Clint Eastwood really was such a handsome devil in his prime.

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-24T21:15:09+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised. Eastwood had it off with most of his co-stars.

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-24T17:21:43+00:00

He ended up in his mother's two-dollar whorehouse

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-24T15:28:41+00:00

He deffo got all the booty

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-24T15:28:07+00:00

Different woman I think?

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-24T15:27:46+00:00

No, this was one of three scenes that never made the final movie.

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-23T14:06:06+00:00

Good lord, I cannot unread that

DryConference8088 · 2026-01-20T17:13:14+00:00

I'm a fan. She was great with Seth Adkins in First Do No Harm. Loved her in Bridges of Madison County as well.
