A hilarious article reminded me all about this quintessential piece of cinema art. It truly is the straight man's SHOWGIRLS. Lets put aside Obama's sellouts and the hatefulness of smelly Rastafarians for a moment and truly bond over something special.
Anyone else looooooove ROAD HOUSE??
Why "pain don't hurt"
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

LOVE IT!
I came to it late, like last year. Everyone always mentions it in their guilty pleasures so I figured I'd check it out.
Swayze is the SH*T!
And Roadhouse II is pretty good for a straight to video feature.

Posted: 7/10/08 at 11:29amSwayze's entire body is pored over like Michelangelo's David or something...I think the director had a bit of a thing going on, there. I also love the waitresses near-orgasmic reaction when she's confronted with the holy force of Swayze's chiseled globes.

"hurts, don't it?"
how can you not love a movie that had ben gazzara holding his own in a fight scene with patrick swayze?
that's almost as good as the patrick swayze/tex cobb fight scene in uncommon valor.

Posted: 7/10/08 at 11:35amPapa, Swayze was no problem for Gazzara. After all, Gazzara lived with Stritch for a couple of years.
