    I’ll tell you what fundamentally bothers me about this new Road House movie. I know they made Dalton an ex-MMA fighter because they were like, “it doesn’t make sense a bouncer would be famous.” And the moment they said “it doesn’t make sense” they had NO BUSINESS making a Road House movie.

    I think some people are confused about ROAD HOUSE (1989). It's a good movie that is also very dumb, not a "so-bad-it's good" bad movie.

    ROAD HOUSE (1989) is closer to like PREDATOR (1987) which is another incredibly stupid but well-made mid-budget 80's movie than it is to like, a MST3k incompetent schlock-fest that can only be enjoyed ironically. The movie works for the reasons the filmmakers were trying to make it work.

    you know what would be a good bit is to set an otherwise unrelated movie in the Road House (original) universe, which is to say one that's just like normal reality except "famous bouncers" are a concept everyone knows of and thinks is normal

    Watched the Patrick Swayze cult classic Road House last night for the first time. Baffling. Swayze was in a violent martial arts movie, the baddie was in a Bond film, and everyone else was in a feature length episode of The A Team.

    It is not possible to make a movie as stupid as the original Road House, in the way it was stupid, on purpose in 2024, and these are purposeful filmmakers, so you do lose that element. But turns out you can make an *odd* movie on purpose in 2024, and that's what the new Road House is.

    Texas Paul, you are calling it like it is with gerrymandering and the righteous democrats who would like to resist it. Long preached we are too kind, turn the other cheek, apologizing a lot. Like Patrick Swayze said in the movie Road House “ Be nice until it’s time to not be nice”. 😎

    i mean, you know I'm gonna say Road House, if you haven't seen it. There's no other movie like it, because as silly as it is, the editors and cinematographer worked on basically every major genre film of the 80s and 90s, from The Fog to Back to the Future to Die Hard to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

    Anyway not hugely surprised to discover the Odyssey expert did not get enough of compensatory value to overlook the holes in Nolan's approach to the material. How could she, of anyone? It'd have to be the greatest film ever made. On the other hand I liked the Road House remake fine, so who knows.

    Blackthorne: Tell him that while the re-imagining of the source material is brilliant, the visceral nature of the action is undercut by the use of computer-generated effects, resulting in an ultimately gutless imitation of the original film.
