Road House Remake Discussion Thread Starring Conor McGregor

The only reason anybody remembers Brokeback Mountain at all is cause it's gay and cause of how retarded the Oscars were that year.

It's like saying people give a shit about The Shape of Water which is remembered for those exact same reasons.

Nah, Brokeback is a really well written movie with two superb lead performances and excellent character development.

I watched it earlier, it's absolutely woeful honestly.

Conor is actually one of the better things about it, at least he's entertaining. Everyone and everything else is just boring.

Oh, and stopping in the middle of a fight to make "funny" quips was lame.

The original is 10x better IMHO.

I agree, it was a letdown. Conor was the only entertaining villain, the rest were mostly horrible, except the rich guy who played the role fairly well. The original was so much better at getting you invested in the characters, and this movie didn't even have to establish the Sam Elliot mentor role at all, so you'd think it would have more time for other character development.

Take away the gayness and what's left of the movie. It's just two dudes camping.

Ask the average person to name the movie they remember most from 2005 and it's going to be Revenge of the Sith.

The original is a masterclass in filmmaking.

Where else can you hear lines like, "Pain don't hurt!" And "I used to fuck guys like you in prison."

We live in a generation that doesn't appreciate or watch Classic Films,
and when they do, they think they suck. No concept of depth, history, culture, none of it.

They fully ruined Roadhouse.

In this new A.D.D. generation ... Conor one-liners are "great" according to viewers.
Polish a turd enough, and people obsess that it LOOKS GOOD.

The fact Conor grabs a Wood (golf club) instead of Iron ... to smash up the road house,
was so insanely stupid. Woods (the shaft specifically) breaks easily. You cannot smash a table.
An IRON ... is a different shaft, AND a different (club) head.

To compare the critical thinking here ... an analogy is... instead of grabbing a baseball bat,
conor destroys the bar with a pool noodle. The line "i love going clubbing" (paraphrasing).

The crew stories are gold. Cannot wait till someone puts it all into a book in a few years.

Why didn't you use my actual example of a movie people cared about from that year of Revenge of the Sith?

You could take away tons of stuff from that movie and it would still be great. Anakin doesn't turn into Darth Vader? Cool, we instead get to see Palpatine overthrown and how that plays out. A whole new original series where Anakin becomes a Jedi Master and raises Luke and Leia himself. Maybe he even needs to betray the Jedi because they won't let him raise his children. Or Obi-Wan doesn't beat General Grevious and Anakin instead falls to the dark side because of Obi-Wan's death? Well then because Obi-Wan's not there to beat him at Mustafar we get a full powered Darth Vader for the original trilogy. You can change the story in countless ways cause it's got branching possibilities instead of focused entirely on one thing.

And if nothing else we got the lightsaber duels. Glorious, glorious, duels. The best sword fights in movie history, still unsurpassed after nearly 20 years. The story could be utterly shit and we'd still get awesome action that you can just turn your brain off and watch in awe at how well it's done.

Take away the gayness of Brokeback Mountain and it's literally just two dudes camping. That's the entire story. Jake and Heath could act the shit out of it, the two best friends camping their dicks off, not literally this time, and nobody would care.

The new Star Wars movies were dogshit. No depth whatsoever. I think we just have very different taste in movies.

We do not speak of the sequel trilogy. On that much we agree.

Star Wars great
Empire Strikes back great
Return of the jedi not as good as the previous two but still very good.
Episodes 1-3 shite
Force Awakens okayish

Haven't bothered with any of them since then.
 
I couldnt finish it. May as well be a cartoon.

Also, the bar keeps having fights cuz of all the terrible bands.
 
Roadhouse remake review (spoilers)

Where do I start with this… Doug Liman is an excellent director so I went into this expecting the visuals would be really good, which they were, but man, I was definitely let down by the fight scenes for the most part. Liman shot all the fights up close and shaky to hide the fact there were stunt doubles, so it was hard to watch. Jake Gyllenhaal gave an ok performance, nothing special really, but I just didn’t buy him as a badass ex ufc fighter. I’m surprised the ufc was okay with his character killing someone in the cage from extra shots. The train scene was inappropriate as well considering what happened to Matt Hughes. Anyways, Jake has a girly high pitched voice and he throws punches that look very weak. Meanwhile, Conor mcgregor shows up halfway through the movie and actually gives a pretty fun performance, though he’s basically just playing a criminal version of himself. The movie’s plot is nothing special, basically a spoiled rich criminal wants to buy the roadhouse bar so he can run drugs from it, but the owner doesn’t want to sell. She hires dalton (Jake G) as a bouncer to cleanup the place. Dalton gets involved in the criminal’s crimes and starts spoiling them. Conor is hired to takeout Dalton. They fight. The end.

6/10 for Liman’s visuals being good, and the boat sinking scene was admittedly pretty intense. I suggest skipping this and just rewatching the original instead. Also, Conor has a long nude scene (likely they used a butt double) that’s really gross, so be warned!

Want to see how much time "the stars" spent together,
how much research Conor did,
or the respect for his co-stars ... look no further:

5 minutes into the interview with Conor & Jake Gyllenhaal ...

Conor has no idea Jake made a film about being a fighter.
Talk about promotion.

Jake explained they are sitting in the gym where they filmed.
50 cent was in the movie... Conor still clueless about what Jake is saying.
Asks Jake.

Jake, bewildered, tells him the film name "Southpaw"

<WellThere>

He also says Jake made 75 movies and Conor has 75 bar fights.
Jake confused. This was never said prior, because Jake has 45 movies.
Jake looks bewildered at the bold face lie that "they joke".

Little insider trades:
(worked in the industry doing various rigging & medical work)
Heard Conor was a nightmare to work with about a year ago. Now that the film is out, the stories will slowly trickle out. Already heard some gold. Jake couldn't stand him. Crew couldn't stand him. Talked over people constantly. There is so much gold it is not even worth mentioning here. It will come out in time.

If Jake didn't like him he wouldn't have done a whole media tour with him. Jake is the main star of the movie. He could easily do it by himself. Insider trade lol.

Buddy, that is not how promotions work, nor red carpet, nor interviews.

You're an actual idiot to assume you know what Jake thinks.

The ego on you, is hilarious

Merged my thread with this low effort garbage… and the mods repost threads half a day after someone like that Strickland thread. One rule for us!
