In a way i sort of agree. However the remakes of
3:10 to Yuma and
True Grit were both in my opinion better than the originals so i'd be open to the idea.
I also think Hollywood still makes very good westerns -
The Missing, The Assassination of Jesse James, Open Range, Appaloosa and most of
Seraphim Falls - are just a few examples.
