I wasn’t expecting greatness but, my God, this is horrendous. I owe an apology to Patrick Swayze’s memory for even having bothered to watch this.

I ordered the original Road House on Blu-ray. It should be here by next weekend.

Ensign, maybe you should remove the 2024 from the thread title so that this can serve as a catch all Road House thread.

The plot makes no sense yet, so far so good.

Bad modern "humor" writing.

Bad guy sucks.

Not a good sign.

I'll probably never watch this, so I'll just adopt your opinion, Burt. Don't let me down.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The Covenant was really good last year.

Nothing wrong with Gyllenhaal. He's having fun here, and I enjoy looking at his rippling muscles.
