"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
There have been a ton of westerns I’ve enjoyed in the last fifteen years or so. Just off the top of my head: True Grit remake, 3:10 to Yuma remake, Appaloosa, Bone Tomahawk, Godless, Deadwood, Hostiles, Hell on Wheels. I’m sure I’m forgetting a couple.

That's how I felt about the Longmire books after the first few. (It just got silly and I so wanted to buy into it because I love that part of the country and am pretty familiar with it.)
Never started the Yellowstone tv series because I was scared off it before making an attempt.

There's nothing civil about this war.
I watched multiple seasons of the EXPANSE - started slow but got better.
I can continue to enjoy stuff like Longmire even after it gets/got silly, just like I could get past the goofy stuff in Wind River, and I will probably watch Yellowstone and will probably enjoy it. Perhaps I got my mind right growing up watching Efrem Zimbalist Jr. shoot down helicopters with snub nose revolvers (ETA: From the hip!!!).
But I draw a line when the car chasing Charlie's Angles would flip over and blow up because it hit a crate of lettuce. That is just unrealistic...

Rocketman was pretty good.
But then there was this trailer:
Some of the latter Terminator movies drew a significant vacuum. But I'm curious.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
The last season of Veep got a little dark, although I guess that was the only way the show could have conceivably ended. Still though, easily one of the best comedies ever, and I will be re-watching it for many years to come.
We have a whole thread about that movie.
