Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

Sam Elliott is in Road House. That makes it a great movie.

I love Sam Elliott, but Ben Gazzara would have been a better choice here.

I don't think Sam Elliott has a Harry Dean Stanton Rule. He's in a lot of dreck that he can't save.

Ghost Rider.

And that's what i mean. The people who made Road House thought they were actually making a legitimate, serious piece of work. The same with Rock of Ages.

The thing that makes Eurotrip and Ski School so great is that they have no pretensions that what they're doing has any artistic merit to it, they know they're just dumb comedies, and they embrace it, and go with it.

Gotcha. I see your viewpoint now.

Road House begins and ends the discussion of great bad movies. The only difference is that it tried to be serious.

Top Secret! is HOF material, IMO.

I sh-t you not. I read this and my immediate thought was Ski School. Which, BTW, I have not watched or thought about in 20 years.

We each had about 20,000 terrible movies to choose from and we both picked the same one. That has to mean something.

My other choice would be Top Secret!

That's cause Ski School rules.

The best way to watch Road House is to be channel surfing and run across it. It is perpetually on TNT, TBS, and Spike.

It's the new version of the Caine-Hackman Theory: He's finishing his senior thesis. Pigman is trying to prove the Caine-Hackman theory. No matter what time it is, 24 hours a day, you can find a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie playing on TV.

Road House or Shawshank Redemption are on tv, at any given time, on some channel, somewhere.

Being called a ********** isn't personal?

- No. It's two nouns combined to elicit a prescribed response.

What if somebody calls my mama a whore?

- Is she?

And dont forget the classic:

"A bear fell on me!"

And you dont MST3K Road House (or Point Break) you watch them and marvel in their glory!

"Be nice until it's time not to be nice."

"Well how are we gonna know when that is?"

"You won't. You are the bouncer. I am the cooler."

Fun stat from Wikipedia:

In the United States, civil liability and court costs related to the use of force by bouncers are "the highest preventable loss found within the [bar] industry"

ewe: you need to not only watch Road House, you need to OWN a copy.

Re: Movies: New Ideas Welcome II Prequel Reboot

THAT'S THE POINT. It is an awesomely horrible movie. I mean, come on. "I used to f* guys like you in jail" is supposed to be intimidating? "Pain don't hurt." "No one wins a fight." Turrible.
