It could be purchased in a series of collectible character cups, or a special-edition blue- backlit cup

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching COWBOYS & ALIENS and holy moley everybody’s in this movie. Even putting Craig and Ford aside—Paul Dano? Clancy Brown?? Walton Goggins???
neutral · AI labelView post →I like how the guy who directed a movie called "Cowboys & Aliens" also created "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett" and he could've been lazy and reused that title for either one of them but he didn't.
neutral · AI labelView post →To be fair, there aren't a lot of ancient honkaloid civilizations to point to. I seem to recall watching an episode where they tried to make the case that aliens visited the old west in the US (spurred on by the movie Cowboys&Aliens), so I think basically anything is fair game for these nuts.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched Cowboys & Aliens (2011) for the first time earlier today and really enjoyed it. Lots of famous faces in front of the camera and lots of well known names involved behind the scenes. Producers include Steven Spielberg, Jon Favreau, & Ron Howard. Actors include Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, & Olivia Wilde. Seems like a really stupid idea for a plot but I found myself about halfway through thinking "this isn't really that different from a Star Wars type movie... That's *basically*…

neutral · AI labelView post →Cowboys & Aliens was a movie that succeeded in being "It is what it says on the label". It has cowboys, it has aliens, that's pretty much all one needs to expect from it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I know, this really gets to be splitting hairs about genre definitions. I don't mind calling Cowboys & Aliens a Weird West movie because it takes place in the Wild West and then goes full-blown scifi. Something about upending a normal Western setting with scifi seems to work for me. Yet creating James Bond-esque gadgets using technology that technically existed in the era (steam-power, magnets) doesn't feel as scifi to me because while the devices are new to the residents, this isn't…

They are... not very good movies, but they are certainly fun with some popcorns and a beer at hand :D
neutral · AI labelView post →With its high production costs, Cowboys & Aliens was a financial disappointment. The Los Angeles Times listed the film in 2014 as one of the most expensive box office flops of all time.
neutral · AI labelView post →The first new Star Wars film since the terrible last one, you say? A spin-off from a mostly-shit TV series? By the director of Cowboys & Aliens? How can anyone resist?
neutral · AI labelView post →When this movie came out 7-11 had a limited edition Cowboys & Aliens flavored Slurpee and it was my favorite flavor but they never had it again. Haven’t seen the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →This took a few tries, so here is everything I found. I got Cowboys & Aliens, but technically that doesn't work for the xkcd rules because that movie came out the month before my 18th birthday. Very close though. And I guess it's kind of a case of so bad it's good, for most people, but for me, it's the James Bond / Indiana Jones crossover I always wanted and it's probably the closest thing I'll ever get. I enjoyed Aladdin (2019), Don't Look Up, and Don't Worry Darling but I wouldn't say they…
neutral · AI labelView post →Aliens in the past are a bridge too far for viewers (for whatever reason). “Cowboys & Aliens” should have ruled! I think it’s very hard to write a good movie that combines those two genres. The exceptions (that I can think of) are “The Fifth Element” and “Stargate,” which were sci-fi primarily.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cowboys & Aliens didn’t get the best reviews from rotten tomatoes, but this movie is a sleeper hit in my opinion. It’s campy, and the level of brutality is WILD for a PG-13 movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Tip for anyone thinking of doing this: Comics are their own artistic medium with a long history and not just a dumping ground for pilot scripts for "real stories" in TV/film. You can have the next Nimona or the next Cowboys&Aliens and that's up to you

Two curmudgeons making it clear they were forced to do this interview and weren't happy about it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cowboys & Aliens: A bland Western joins forces with a terrible alien invasion movie to prove two lames don't make a cool. I was hoping this would be awesome and redeem Jon Favreau for the terminal yawn which was Mandalorian & Grogu... it just proved his 3 good films were flukes. #FilmSky Verdict: ⭐️

Big me went to the cinema with hope in his heart to see a movie that would perhaps evoke that youthful sense of nostalgia and charm. Should have stayed at home and had fish fingers & chips.😃

negative · AI labelView post →Cowboys & Aliens 2011 Unassuming popcorn action flick that happens to be a decent western. I actually think this is an amazing premise with serious potential, so I’m a little disappointed this didn’t get more careful treatment. No fault with the casting though. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema

neutral · AI labelView post →One of the worst examples of genre-blending is Cowboys & Aliens. An overly serious western w campy elements of trite sci-fi. Two fantasy worlds collide. Bzzzt! A far better film is the supernatural cowboy film Ravenous (1999) which subverts audiences expectations of the genre. 1/
negative · AI labelView post →I’m pretty sure the first western I saw was “Rango”, which I thought was okay at best. Several years later, I saw “Cowboys & Aliens”, which I liked, then “Blazing Saddles”, “The Good, The Bad & The Ugly” and “Unforgiven”, which I loved. Which film(s) made you a Western fan?
