This movie was made and released between Dirty Dancing and Ghost and yet is somehow more true to that which is Swayze in the end. As it were.

There is no way THAT commentary track will top David Schmader's celebration/vivisection on the fancy schmantz Showgirls DVD.

"Roadhouse" vs "Dirty Dancing"
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link
(...vs. "Ghost")
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
IT'S A SWAYZ-OFF
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Dirty Dancing wins because it was years before I figured out that anyone in it was Jewish. I mean, huh? This is what happens when you grow up in Whitehall. But the point is that when I realized it was rly about religion & class it suddenly seemed so much DEEPR, MAN. Therefore win.
― Laurel, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link
"Dirty Dancing" would win if Jennifer Grey tore out someone's throat at a pivotal moment.
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link
These are the bullet items under "Subjects" in the NY Public Library online catalog for the Road House DVD:
Bouncers -- Drama. Bars (Drinking establishments) -- Drama. Crime -- Drama. Male friendship -- Drama. Man-woman relationships -- Drama. Feature films. Video recordings for the hearing impaired.
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
The best part is when you click on "Bouncers -- Drama," RH is the only title that comes up.
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
lolololol
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link
"Cocktail" beats both movies.
― snoball, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:31 (sixteen years ago) link
it's really sad that films like these can't get made nowadays.

I HAVE seen the good Road House, tho:

I'm addicted to Roadhouse. I've watched it about once a week for the last month.
Also, Michelob is better than a lot of overpriced, overhoppy bullshit microbrew stuff (the brown bottle regular michelob not MGD)
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 March 2008 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link
ugh no
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
roadhouse or michelob??? they are both great!!!!
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Roadhouse is awesome! Michelob... is not.
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:52 (sixteen years ago) link
BULLROAR DAN!!! okay....I've converted many to the Michelob...when --- BE HONEST --- was the last time you had some brown bottle michelob????
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:56 (sixteen years ago) link
1994. It was cheap and I wanted beer. I later decided that, for the price point, Meister Brau has better flavor per cent.
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:57 (sixteen years ago) link
(Then again I really genuinely like overly-hoppy microbrews, usually the hoppier the better.)
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Dude, Michelob has really come into it's own! : )
also, you must have been in heaven given how much SUMMIT flows around here.
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:59 (sixteen years ago) link
That was also the period of time when I drank tons and tons of malt liquor by choice, even when I could afford more expensive booze.
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 23:01 (sixteen years ago) link
Dan and his Mickey's Big Mouths, I'm telling ya.
Ever since Phil/unperson observed that Road House is as much of a fantasy film as The Lord of the Rings my appreciation for its inanities has grown stronger. But even I still can't answer the exact question I originally posed.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 25 March 2008 01:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Watching RH for a nth time again right now. So good. Just coming up to the big love scene.

roadhouse is amazing i could watch it everyday

"IS she?"

"I used to fuck men like you in prison"
But, more importantly, at the end when our hero jumps (nude?) into the lake he runs past someone sitting by the side of the lake. Who is that supposed to be?
