TS: SHOWGIRLS vs. ROAD HOUSE

I think I read an interview where she said she only realized it when she saw the film?

Keeping the sound on interfered with my enjoyment of the film.

Pervert.

hah, I read your dvd review, and I'm the pervert!?

What kind of career did the Mama Bear whose tits popped go on to have?

Career?

Mitch was just walking out the door to the set, and he said that Bill once called him from Russia.

hahahahahahahahaha

Overdubbed with Russian grunts.

The actual full section on Road House from the AV Club interview is great:

I love Bill Murray.

Well, there you go. I mean, what can you say? I got a call from my agent, and I had just done Drugstore Cowboy, which was a little different, but he said, “There’s this other movie.”

The actress who’d been cast first to play against Patrick Swayze was Annette Bening, but she was fired.

The might-have-beens!

And more on Bill Murray:

AVC: Sorry, not to dwell on this, but you said that Bill Murray “or one of his idiot brothers” will call. Which brothers are we talking about?

KL: All of them! Joel has called; Brian Doyle has called. They will all call! Any and all of them!

AVC: This was already an awesome story, but now it’s even better.

KL: I know, right? I dread it. If I know it’s coming on—and I can tell when it’s coming on, because it blows up on Twitter when it is—I’m just like, “Oh, my God…” And God help me when AMC’s doing their Road House marathon, because I know the phone is just going to keep ringing. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 or 3 in morning. “Hi, Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now…”

okay so Murray brothers > Baldwin brothers

Without doubt.

Her description of Roadhouse is A+

“Okay, I don’t understand what this is. There’s a big-wheel truck, there’s a bad guy, there’s a doctor in a mini-dress, and there are bouncers.”

and this

It’s pretty girls, guys fighting, good guys and bad guys… and mullets! We all had a mullet, for God’s sake! [Laughs.] I remember saying, “How are you getting my hair to do that?” Because my hair’s really straight. But they put stuff in it and made it happen. It was amazing.

love her

dying @ the repeated "Pain don't hurt" invocations itt

not to harp on about her but damn she's a great interview, huh? the virtuosity behind the scenes stuff was p interesting!

I took a phil course at NYU and ya learn that the first day

xp

this too! god she's a goldmine

If you look at Michael’s movies, especially with Mickey Rourke, there’s always a girl who is the designated… what I call the drag queen, someone who has too much makeup and hair, who’s usually a reporter or, as in my case, a lawyer. But it’s always, like, “slash supermodel.” And I didn’t know at the time that Michael was kind of… interested in dressing like a woman. That’s the Michael Cimino we know today, but at the time I didn’t know what his issues were with femininity and all those things. And during Desperate Hours, we started to see him wearing higher heels and fixing his hair like a woman and doing different things, and I said, “Michael, I don’t really want to wear this makeup, I don’t want this hairdo, and I know you’re having me thrust my leg out in this scene like I’m doing a pantyhose commercial, but I’m just a lawyer!” And he would get angry and say, “I don’t want to look at you until you get your hair and makeup on in that trailer. You look like a 12-year-old boy!” And me, in my mid-20s… I did not look like a 12-year-old boy. I thought I looked pretty good! [Laughs.] But I was like, “Okay…”

And then I came to the scene with Mickey in the hallway, where I’m springing him and we’re running out of the courthouse, and there was an exchange between the two of us. We asked each other if we loved each other and need each other and that sort of thing, and we kind of nod and get out of there, a one last look because we could be shot, we don’t know what we’re doing. And Michael came in and took the “love” part out of it. He said, “It’s not about love.” And I looked at him and I said, “A woman in my position would not gamble on losing everything for any other reason. She loves this guy.” And he says, “No, you just want to get laid.” I said, “Well, how long do you think it would take a girl like me, who looks like I do here, to have sex with a guy like this?” I mean, it was Mickey. I’m like, “How long do you think it would take, Michael? A second…?” Probably you’re right. Probably it’s a lustful kind of thing that she’s mistaking for love, but that’s something I don’t want to even be conscious of. I want to feel like I’m in love with this man.” And he looked at me and shook his head and said, “No.” And I said, “Okay, here’s the thing: This will be your performance. Because I disagree with you on everything about who this person is. She’s an intellectual. She’s a very wealthy, very successful attorney, and she knows she can get laid. She’s in love with this man. Or she’s confused and she thinks she’s in love with this man, but she’s in a crisis.” And he said, “Actually, the real truth of the story is that you’re really hot, and you just really want to get laid.” [Laughs.] So I said, “Well, then this will be your performance. I will leave my name on the movie, but I can’t take credit. I’ll even ask for line readings.”

And, basically, that’s how I did the rest of the film. I can’t really take credit for any of it. I thought it was beautiful, as far as the scenery, and there were pieces of it that I believed in and thought were amazing. But it’s all the director’s movie, not mine. A lot of it didn’t make any sense to me. But I loved working with Sir Anthony Hopkins. We’d sit together at lunch and talk about things. And Mickey and I became great friends. We’ve worked together many times, and I’m one of his favorite actors, oddly enough. He wanted me to do The Wrestler with him, which I couldn’t, because I was working on something else, but he’s one of those actors I adore. But, yeah, it was a very weird experience working on Desperate Hours. But I’d just started dating Mitch at the time, too, so I’ve got those memories in there. He kind of rescued me. [Laughs.]

okay I'll stop now

Our own Alfred has seen and believed:

god it's uncanny

really hate it when people say that showgirls is one of their favorite movies and I go "me too!" and try to talk to them all enthusiastically about it like that scene where nomi just eats a cheeseburger but then it turns out they only like it 'ironically'

CANT YOU PEOPLE LIVE WITHOUT IRONY FOR ONCE

"Different PLACES!!"

I didn't know that!

Yeah Buzzfeed but anyway

who wants to run a Kickstarter so we can create an actual "SHOWGIRLS vs ROADHOUSE" movie (a la "Alien vs Predator")

SHOWHOUSE

ROADGIRLS

ROADSHOWHOUSEGIRLS

I guess SHOWHOUSE would star Elizabeth Berkley as a realtor? Showing the house of the deceased Patrick Swayze? idk, help me out here

a tourbus full of showgirls breaks down in a small sleepy town; these tough young ladies end up patronizing the local bar, where one of them discovers that she and the taciturn bouncer share a sordid past that could leave them both dead
