Profound questions about "Roadhouse"

[LynneSin]

Seriously, how can these backwood towns have enough population to support a club that has a 'Studio 54' type crowd?

And think about it, if someone was shaking you down for money, at what point do you ask yourself "Perhaps I should call the state police or the feds". Brad Wesley isn't that big of a shit that he controls the state or the US Government. If he was you'd think he'd live someplace nicer than Jasper.

Could I attend NYU and get a degree in being a Cooler?

And seriously, your best friend had the shit beat out of him and you know you are going to the hospital, wouldn't you take him along instead of leaving him at the one place where the bad guys would show up to finish the job.

And if you're gonna use a car as a decoy to get into Brad Wesley's place wouldn't you use the old beater and leave the Mercedes someplace safe. I mean that old beater was a fricking tank classic detroit bomb. Would cause way more damage and wasn't worth shit.

BTW Blueray shows off Patrick Swayze's bad skin and makes Kelly Lynch look more orange than John Boehner. But Sam Elliot gets hotter.

3. he gets way hotter

:D

[shugah]

11. sam elliott has the distinction of being the only guy with facial hair

that i have ever considered hot.

ETA: just about everything in that movie requires you to suspend disbelief THAT CANNOT BE SUSPENDED. it's about the eye candy :-)

[LynneSin]

2. And btw if a Polar Bear was slowly falling towards me I'd do something other than shoot at it

Perhaps run or put my hands out in hopes of slowing the fall.

[RandomThoughts]

4. What?

[LynneSin]

8. Obviously you are not in tune with the philosophical musings of Dalton

:rofl:

[RandomThoughts]

17. What?

Side note, Dalton and Eliot were the two sides in some philosophies. It misses on a few points.

5. "I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead."

10. It may be weeks, months, before this place seems normal again to me.

[kentauros]

9. I think this calls for a

"Patrick Swayze Christmas" :D

[LynneSin]

12. That's more disturbing then the movie

seriously

[kentauros]

13. It is MST:3K

so what did you expect? :P

[Amerigo Vespucci]

22. Mike Nelson also did a Roadhouse-based "RiffTrax"...

...and while some of his "solo bits" had their moments, they seldom equal what he calls the "3 Riffer Editions" (Nelson with MST3K's Kevin Murphy & Bill Corbett).

Road House

This is it – the best movie ever made about a world-famous bouncer and his epic struggle with the evil owner of the local J.C. Penney. Patrick Swayze is at his most shirtless as Dalton, a bouncer who is as comfortable quoting Zen aphorisms as he is kicking drunken men in the head.

The incomparable Sam Elliot is hilarious as Swayze's grizzled but lovable mentor, growling out lines like "I'll sleep when I'm dead," and running his weathered hand through his long, gray, greasy hair. And Kevin Tighe (of Lost) as the owner of the titular roadhouse delivers one of the strangest performances ever committed to film.

Road House is the comic mother lode and Mike takes advantage of every smashed beer bottle, throat kick, and monster car smash-up in his hilarious running commentary.

14. I have no idea what you are talking about

It was English, but it was as if I was reading an entirely different language.

Providing, once again, I am clueless. sigh.

[LynneSin]

15. Pain don't hurt

Just once in your lifetime you have to sit thru watching Road House.

Just once.

Your life will change forever

[Haole Girl]

19. Oh

I once dated a guy who looked like Patrick Swayze (a young Patrick Swayze), does that count?

(he was a heart-breaker, too)

18. Alls I know is them varmints needed a lesson for smashing a case of Drambuie.

[LynneSin]

20. Trust me if I was on a booze bottle smashing bender...

the Drambuie would be the second to go, right after the Jagarmeister.

23. And Tiny Ron

I danced with him one night in West Hollywood after our company party. He's 7' tall.
