Maybe The Favourite got close, but it was a terrible year otherwise. A mediocre Coen Bros flick ended up being the most enjoyable thing I saw in 2018. Well acted, great soundtrack, made with an earnest respect for the subject matter (hollywood westerns AND real pioneers) and a true love of Americana.
Let me tell you buddy...
>best movie of 2018
That's like being the fastest person in the special olympics desu senpai.
Buster Scruggs was the only good part. The rest was ass.
A mediocre Coen Bros flick is still better than a lot of director's magnum opus.
what did he mean by this?
Not even Tom Waits kino or DOGHOLE?
Ain't that the truth
He meant that real women are like ferrets
when I saw who directed it
PANSHOT YAHOO

>If they catch you, it won’t be so good. After they take off every stitch of your clothes and have their way with you, they’ll stretch you out with a rawhide, and then they’ll drive a stake through the middle of your body into the ground, and then they’ll do some other things, and we can’t have that. Now, we ain’t licked yet. But if we are, you know what to do
What other things were they gonna do to her Yea Forums?
SURLY JOE!
>SURLY JOE!
CURLY JOE
I love how the color temperature changes with each of their stories.

Take your pick of any savage red skin torture story you've heard.
Indians used to brutally torture settlers they caught, so there was a general consensus among people back then that suicide was better than being caught. So mothers would often kill their children and then themselves if they were caught. the things I read about were stuff like cutting off the soles of peoples fee, feeding babies to dogs, removing organs while people were still alive, etc..Basically a more exaggerated version of cartel/Mexican videos today.
There was a reason we called Indians savages.
Refreshing to see a movie not just show "noble" injuns for once.
A lot of it has been memed up. But can you really blame them? They were being invaded and displaced by a seeming endless stream of technologically superior pale faces shooting up all the buffalo and claiming your clay as fast as they fucking can without any real provision for your people who have been there forever.
The ones who tried to fight did their best to use psychological terror to their advantage.
I'm a pretty gentile dude that doesn't have a problem with anyone, but if china decided to invade you'd better believe I'd be down for scalping some chink bastards before cutting off their ricedicks and shoving them down their throats.
>Pretty gentile....
>But can you really blame them?
Yes, I can. They should've assimilated to the superior culture when given the chance. Even if that new place in society was below the white man. Now look at them, a bunch of useless drunks on a postage stamp of land in the middle of nowhere. Serves them right. Savage fuckers.
imagined tendency
from last of the mohicans to hostiles... showing nuanced injuns is the norm. Some are vicious and some are noble. Even pocahontas and the disney horse movie have it.
And.. who the fuck cares if injuns get some slack cuts. They were essentially exterminated and now exist as alcoholics and casino owners.
Dumb cuntfaggot
This guy is a kino actor. Why doesn't he get more roles?
You might enjoy every single Western made before 1968, then.
I legit didn't notice the change the first time I watched. I was invested in the dialogue just as the other characters. Pretty kino if you ask me.

Remember you said that when the West inevitably falls and genetically engineered chink supersoldiers eliminate your way of life and replace it with their "superior" bug culture
Wait, is that the same guy in the stagecoach?
Probably when Buster Scruggs kicked the table and put an end to Surly Joe. It was very enjoyable in a year full of bad films. Didn't care much for the second vignette though.
Why did they pick such a jarring name and character to represent the film? Why not start it off with another story?
No you faceblind autist.
My fav one was the one with the old dude and his gold nuggets, all other stories were meh.
The last one with the woman, the poacher and the frenchman going to heaven was pretty enjoyable
Westward expansion was pretty shit in general. Everyone was killing the shit out of everyone in the most pointlessly brutal ways, often for money.
No. Getting shot in the guts and just walking it off is stupid. As is riding into a gopher colony, but then a second later it's too dangerous to do that so you need to fight 20 indians alone.
Who the fuck was Mr. Pocket and what was his god damn problem?
I mean I've personally benefited from the products of it, so I can't be too disparaging about it, but I lived in south dakota, and went to a college there that was doing tall grass prairie reclamation on a bunch of land the school owned. When you got out into the middle of it you couldn't see or hear any trace of man except for planes flying over head. makes you feel fucking tiny.
Hard not to think about when the middle of the continent was just an ocean of man high grass and what it must have been like to be one of the plains tribes way back when.
I think he was originally supposed to be the same guy. I remember reading something along those lines in a thread back when it came out.
It's got very little basis in facts, but I believe it.
It was just speculation because they both talked about playing cards.

I'll have you know Climax was released in 2018
