The Spaghetti West (not documentary)

[quote=“Lindberg, post:18, topic:1350”]I didn’t say “forgive me” to you, I know you don’t like Leone’s films, you’ve already said so :wink:

But there are many admirers of OUATITW here, have to be gentle with them or they’ll be upset :smiley:

I don’t like that film either, but I like the major part of the rest of Leone’s work, and he was the one who founded the SW genre.

But yes his films are many times theatrical so to speak when it comes to acting, and his scripts don’t have much story.

We already know that, and nobody thinks this aspect of Leone’s films had anything to do with the real historical wild west :D[/quote]

I know you werent asking for my forgiveness obviously. My point was that theres no reason to ask of anyones forgiveness when it comes to personal opinion. You were probably just messing around though, as was I, so thats not really important.

And as for the “historical” aspects of Leones work, that still has nothing to do with my issues when it comes to his vision of the west. Again, by “artificial” I mean “unbelievable”. Plenty of spags have an unaccurate portrayl of the west, yet it still feels real.

I knew you were gonna question my post Goodfella

I wasn’t messing around and I understand what you mean

We are no idiots at this site

Seems you are the one who doesn’t understand, or just has to have the last word everytime

I didnt question anything first of all. I dont even know where you were trying to go with that. You said you werent apologizing to me, which was obvious, so I tried explained were I was coming from.

Ill try again. By “messing” around, I meant that I didnt actually think your were seriously asking for “forgiveness” but were just joking around in a “Oh Ill get in trouble for insulting Leone lol” type of way. Maybe I was wrong and you really felt the need to ask for it, which wouldnt show much faith in the boards members, but anyway I didnt take it seriously so I simply replied in a jokeing manner.

Also no one ever called anyone and idiot(nor implied it). I dont know were the hell that came from and in fact your “last word” comment is the closest thing to an insult Ive ever seen anyone post on this site. And to be honest its quite disappointing.

This is a message board when someone addressess an individual, said idividual tends to reply. Thats kind of how these forum things work buddy. And yes now I am being a bit condescending simply because Ive been enjoying this board and its members a whole lot and your uncalled for attitude is just that, uncalled for. It seems to me youre simply trying to start something and if that the case its pathetic. A 1000+ post member acting as you are is really disappointing.

Anyway To the other members. Sorry for taking this board off topic and the rest of you have been nothing but cool.

Problems? Problems!

Hope you will stop this now, as from now on it won’t get you anywhere

@ Goodfella

If you think good old Lindberg, the nicest man around here except for … for …

Anyway, if you think he is rude, you should read the “The Wild Bunch Thread” , some posts might surprise you …

Yes, and try to be a little cool yourself aswell

Me ;).

Sartana Django seemed like a jackass from what I’ve seen. Lets be civil and have fun with these discussions not get into it with each other. It just seems to me like these threads will not be any fun with arguements so lets all be civil. :slight_smile:

Seconded! :wink: :smiley:

Thanks :D.

No, it was not that easy.

He was/is a strange guy, but he was not an idiot, a fool maybe, and surely for many a pain in the ass, but not an idiot.

Sometimes he seemed to have humour, more often absolutely not.

He was … special, very special …

Well, he seemed rude. Especially to Reverend in the Christmas Kid thread.

You know, i kind of miss SD…being a fellow PLL fan :smiley: Still i am surprised he has not tried to get back on the forum in some way…

Depends on what you mean by idiot. I remember him thrashing a lot of the members in here pretty badly. So if not an idiot per se then having idiotic tendencies at least :slight_smile:

But no he was strange, all that number fixation and VERY clear definitions of what/who was good and bad. Nearly autistic.

Im sorry if I offended anyone but I felt Linds “last word” comment in regards to me doing nothing other than staying on topic was rather immature and ignorant. I agree 100% with having fun and not getting into it. Ive been having fun on this site and thats all I was trying to do in this thread by discussing the topic on hand.

Again I apoligize… Anyway heres some examples of my favortie visions of the west.

Keoma
Django
The Great Silence

The Great Silence probably being my favorite.

@ Goodfella

It wasn’t just this thread, and it wasn’t just towards me

Obviously you’re not aware of it yourself, but you have this besserwisser or smart alec attitude many times

I don’t like this, I find it annoying

This is my final post in this thread, I’ll be moving on :smiley:

And Im the one needing to get in the last word? Sure buddy.

I go and try to get back on subject and you start up yet again. You know whats annoying? Sad little trouble makers trying to stir something up on the internet for one pathetic reason or another.

Then on top of it you try to bring other threads and other people into it. Well, guess what? Youre full of shit. Plain full of it. Its as simple as that., I honestly dont believe anyone here would agree with you in regards to me giving anyone an attitude or being a “smart alec” whatsoever. I’ve had nothing but enjoyable conversation with every member here that Ive delt with.

Either youre an ignorant prick that cannot except and discuss opinions that do not agree with yours or youre simply just a prick in general. Then again based on a pompous ass of a coment like " I don’t like this, I find it annoying", it could very well be both. IMO you deserve nothing less than a perma bann. This site is to damn good for BS like yours.

Reagrdless Im not going to let someone like you ruin it and if youll excuse me Im going to discuss spags with mature individual actually capable of intelligent conversation.

Sorry Goodfella, but that kind of personal insult is not acceptable here. Whatever your disagreement with Lindberg name calling is out of order. People don’t always agree with each other here. That’s fine and no one elses business. But we draw the line at personal insults. It achieves nothing and creates an atmosphere that we don’t want.

You have mentioned in a related thread that you have decided to just not interact with Lindberg in future and I think that is a sensible solution. It’s easy and harms no one. At the end of the day, we don’t all have to be friends here but we can’t have abusive name calling.

Now I suggest everyone involved just moves on and enjoys the films. It’s what we come here for.

This is one of the best threads on this forum in a few weeks I think… Lots of interesting point of views.

As creater of this thread I’d like to thank you but I am sad ithas created such contempt among our members. :frowning:
