Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

If you're looking for suggestions, I really liked "My Name is Nobody".
With obvious exceptions like "Blazing Saddles", I had figured that most of the old Westerns were the same sort of tense, action-fests. While those are great, I was surprised to find "My Name is Nobody" to be a legitimately funny comedy and also intriguing.
If you just stick with Clint Eastwood flicks for a while, you're in for a treat.
"Two Mules for Sister Sara" was another great one.
There have also been some more contemporary westerns that "get it".
I think the opening to "The Harder They Fall' is an homage of sorts to Van Cleef's introduction as Angle Eyes in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".
"The Old Way" is a Nicholas Cage romp that's also interesting.
Two Mules is such a great movie. Saw it as a kid, and many times since. Each time I pickup some new nuance, as I've learned more about life and the history of Mexico.
If you like My Name Is Nobody, you may also enjoy They Call Me Trinity. I haven't seen My Name Is Nobody, so I can't compare them, but they are both Western comedies co-starring Terence Hill, so it wouldn't surprise me if they have some similarities. Trinity also has a sequel, but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
