Ballad of Buster Scruggs is the best 2018 flick i seen so far (still aint caught up, tho). Lonesome Dove is arguably the best TV show ever. I love the West, everything about frontiers, and believe that dawns are better-seen atop a horse than beside a beautiful woman.@wikkidpissah what is the last high quality western in your opinion? Is it releveant anymore?
But i never liked Westerns, by & large. They're not so much a genre as a trope, some weird kind of ethical tract, a confirmation of values that either bore or trouble me. I got nothing against the form on its own, but people who want things just so and miss no chance to declare that really like Westerns and i don't like people who like things just so. And i am so disconnected to the Power of the Gun that i don't really know what folks get from it. But I do know i don't like it.
All in all, i'd say there's plenty of life in the form (because there are few things more compelling than frontiers) but i wouldn't mourn its passing at all.
