Looking forward to it, even though I heard some negative things about it
This problem with dialogue is becoming a recurring thing. I thought for a while it had something to do with those surround tracks people were very fond of (a bleeb here and an explosion there), but this 5.1 or 7.1 madness seems to be over its peak and we still get tracks with dialogue that is virtually incompehensible.
And some more news about that Netflix show
Pierce Brosnan to star in AMC 10-part series The Son, scheduled to air in 2017:
Promising. Based on the novel The Son by Philipp Meyer. Brosnan gives a fine performance in Seraphim Falls; haven’t seen Grey Owl.
Absolutely (I haven’t seen Grey Owl either). In fact I struggle to think of a Brosnan performance I didn’t like. Up until last year I’d never seen a single Bond movie and, in committing to doing so, I was informed by all and sundry that the Brosnan-era Bond films were, by and large, utter sh*t. And you know what? They were. 
BUT. Pierce Brosnan himself was good throughout, imo. To paraphrase Ice-T: His films had 99 problems, but James Bond wasn’t one.
EDIT: Oh hang on, just thought of a Brosnan performance I didn’t like: Mamma Mia!. Ooh, I fcking HATED that movie, and everyone in it. And why in shtting crikey did anybody let Pierce sing? He sounded profoundly disturbed. I know I was after I heard him.
I’ll probably watch anything with him in it, ever since seeing him in The Matador… at least his hilarious singing is the only thing worth watching in Mamma Mia
Outlaws and Angels seems to be the feature-length film debut of director JT Mollner. According to Variety, the movie is “a Grand Guignol nod to spaghetti Westerns.”
Here is the trailer

Could be a good one. Trailer looks more promising than usual
Horror specialist Ti West (The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers, The Sacrament) brings us In a Valley of Violence, starring Ethan Hawke and John Travolta. Due in September according to the IMDb, but there are some reviews knocking about already from the festival screenings. Looks interesting.

Another couple:
A Kris Kristofferson picture which came out at the start of last month called Traded (Timothy Woodward, Jr.)…
…And a Dutch movie still in post-production called Brimstone (Martin Koolhoven), featuring Guy Pierce, Dakota Fanning and Game of Thrones duo Carice “Melisandre” van Houten and Kit “Jon Snow” Harington.

I don’t know if it’s on its way back to its former glories, but there are surely some titles that I enjoyed as much as some of the classics. Stuff like APPALOOSA, HATFIELDS & MCCOYS, BONE TOMAHAWK, THE SALVATION or OPEN RANGE may even find a spot in a top-list of mine.

Stretching the parameters of the term “western” now since it looks like more of a Buffy-lite, but whatever it takes to get “tha kidz” into the genre, and with that in mind… Wynonna Earp, anyone?
has anybody seen this?
