Why a new thread for recently watched movies?
The different colors are also a bad idea.
āDamn it, you Dutch suck!.. Always complaining, geez louise.ā >:(
Ok, hereās the reason for the new thread . I was too lazy to post the movies on their respectful thread and it made sense for me at that time. But if thereās a problem, have Seb delete it.
Merged here now.
And no anti Dutch ranting please. Their football team is making them suffer enough currently.

Yes, but whereās the difference to the ālast movie you have watchedā thread?
Very true.
One consolation: we wonāt be eliminated in a penalty shootout next summer
I watched Once Upon a Time in the West last night. I hadnāt forgotten its brilliance but it was even better than I remembered it. Most spaghetti westerns pale in comparison.
Ooops!.. so sorry. 
Well, not much really. My way of thinking was that to make it easier for me, i would put āall genre recently seen moviesā on the same thread, thatās why i had them in color. As you can see, i watched 2 Italian Crime, 2 Euro spy action, 1 Giallo/Thriller and 1 American Western. But itās ok, no worries amigos.
[size=10pt]Bone Tomahawk [2015][/size]
Well, itās not exactly "The Searchesā and itās not going to win any awardsā¦however, this graphic cannibal western turned out to be better than I expected. Good turn out from Kurt Russell and Richard Jenkins in their roles, but manā¦this was a long film and it got off to a bit of a slow start. Regardless, the second half things really picked up and it went out with a bang. Overall a decent watchā¦ and incredibly violent with one particular scene towards the end in a cave that you will soon not forget.
Ahh yesā¦ exactly - thatās because OUTW isnāt really a spag as āit trancends the genreā. This is something that Stanton needs to understandā¦ 
Yes but isnāt the genre defined (technically) by production origins (i.e. Italian involvement) than by whatās on-screen? Anyway you slice it, [I]it is[/I] a Spaghetti Western, no matter how unlike it is compared to many other examples within the genre.
I actually understand everything and everyone. Hope this doesnāt come as too big of a surprise ā¦
Transcending the genre keeps the transcendender still inside the genre. Which makes this humble film the one and real Spagie (unless one prefers Tagliatelle from his favourite Italian)
@ Transcending the genre keeps the transcendender still inside the genre.
Iām not sure that is true, Stanton.
transcend
[tran-send]
verb (used with object)
to rise above or go beyond; overpass; exceed:
to transcend the limits of thought; kindness transcends courtesy.
to outdo or exceed in excellence, elevation, extent, degree, etc.; surpass; excel.
Theology. (of the Deity) to be above and independent of (the universe, time, etc.).
A genre film is a genre film is a genre film ā¦
Yes, but if you say movie transcends the genre (rises above, goes beyond, etc.) it would be logical to conclude that itās no longer part of it. Moreover the spaghetti western is technically not a genre, but a subgenre. So itās imaginable that a move is still called a western (Once Upon is no doubt one) but no longer a spaghetti western.
Oddly enough I think the movie transcends the subgenre, but I still consider it a spaghetti western, so maybe thereās something wrong with the term, or my conception of it.
I just too drunk to any philosophical discussion, I do like women itās my kind of favourite genre, among western spaghettis and war movies of course-
I watched Bone Tomahawk (Zahler, 2015) this evening, my dribblings on the matter HERE[url]http://letterboxd.com/lastcaress1972/film/bone-tomahawk/[/url].
My take on it is when a genre film transcends the genre, it means it ābreaks outā or crosses over into the bigger budget films genre whatever that is. it still remains a part of its original genre however. After all, a film can be more than one genre cant it? as in a comedy-horror etcā¦
I donāt think that a film which transcends a genre, which is a highly subjective impression anyway, is then somewhere outside the genre, it simply brings the genre to a new level.
2001 is still a SF film, but it made things with the genre nobody had expected before. OUTW had a similar impact on the SW as well as on the western as a whole. But there is more in these films than being innovative to justify the term. Others would call these films highly pretentious, and there is only a small gap between these diametral assessments.
Other Spags for which the term could be used are Il mercenario and Se sei vivo spara.
