That is not what I was saying.

I'm just talking about how the quote has been repeated so much that the quote itself has kind of become a cliched response.

Never saw Rango. Didn't appeal to me. Not big into westerns y'see

I just meant that there really isn't much else that one can say. Unless there are any other suitably poignient quotes about the subject

Bu.. bu.. bwuh?! Not into Westerns?! That's one of the problems with young people these days. No taste at all.

Braeburn would like you to know how deeply disappointed he is, and that you are no longer welcome in AAAAAAPALOSA.

I cant take the accents of westerns myself.

#65908 gingerninja 666 Fri, 6th Jan '12 8:39:54 PM from Aboard The Damocles

I'm into planning and highly intelligent villains and magic, and sci-fi and fantasy and shit.

There's just nothing in westerns that appeal to me

With certain exceptions of course. (Damn you sexy Braeburn!)

Fair enough, but what about sci-fi westerns like Firefly?

#65910 Drenius Fri, 6th Jan '12 8:41:13 PM from Northern Virginia

Hey now, not all westerns have that John Wayne bullshit. For every John Wayne, you've got opuses like Stage Coach, High Noon, Lonesome Dove, or Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

Planning and vicious, intelligent, manipulative villains? Just look at A Touch of Evil, or Shane, or hell, Pale Rider!

Sorry, sorry. I'm not trying to force westerns down your throat and I understand it might not be your cup of tea, but there are plenty of westerns that aren't just cowboys and indians as it were.

You could just tell people you are actually watching something interesting on TV rather then police procedural #47J, or wacky cynical sitcom #19H (seriously I don't think there has ever been so little to watch on TV).

re: Ginger

Have you ever heard of A Game Of Thrones/A Song Of Ice And Fire?

My parents won't stop going on about it -_-

She is a western THEMED character in a NON western setting. Big difference. Besides, I like to think there's more to her than that

And now I've sidetracked us from ponies. My apologies.

#65918 Crowfall Fri, 6th Jan '12 8:47:40 PM

You really should read/watch it. It's really good.

This thread, sidetracked? Madness!

Give it a go (or read the books) it sound like it would be just up your alley. (Super awesome villains, magic (sort of of), characters you love to hate, character you hate to love, incest, homosexuality, aranged marrigages, regicides, affairs, bastard children all wraped up in a nice medivle context with tons of Black and Grey Morality)

I think it would appeal to your love of leather pantsing.

Tonight, I dine in Equestria! Gonna watch the stream then download the episode later before it gets c&d'd off the yootoob.

I don't just leatherpants (this show provokes a lot of behaviour in me that is NOT indicitive of how I act around other shows). The villain has to be suitably Magnificent/Competent too.

but of course, I've quickly learned that I'm the only one who cares about stuff like that

A good villain makes the conflict more interesting.

#65925 L Mage Fri, 6th Jan '12 8:56:07 PM from The Moon

Let me put it this way: if there is one thing this that show lacks not for it is inresting and ingaging conflict. Everyone is running a Batman Gambit of their own, and the only actual heroes are treading water to just survive admits all the cunning to varying results...
