Is Road House a perfect movie?
>>
>>217427795
it's a silly movie
>>
>>217427795
It sucks like the majority of 70s and early 80s movies suck. They have "Idiot Plots" which is a official term not just my opinion.
>>
>>217427795
It's pretty much reddit meets netflix meets globohomo feminism. Basically it's feminism the movie made to hypnotise the viewer into thinking "white men bad" and "POC women good". There isn't really much more to this dreary film than that.
>>
>>217427944
It was really bad.
I don't know what the fuck was going on.
Too much booze?
Too much coke?
Were people just dumber?
>>
>>217427795
back then men stuffed socks down their pants

>we're her for a good time, not a long time
vietnam war and then the carter recession broke most of them, the boomers you seethe about now were a minority.

A lot of B movies of that era were made for drive-in theaters where people were only half paying attention to the movie. Similar to netflix's "two screen" policy today. Also the 70s followed the major studio crash of the 60s so a lot of lower budget exploitation movies were being made by smaller less experienced studios.

The drugs couldn't have hurt, Im a publish author (believe it or not) and alcohol is critical to my method of writing.

I can appreciate this.

Its basically Highplains Drifter, but in the 80's instead of the old west. It great.
>>
>>217428114
It turns off my internal critic. If I'm drinking i can write 15-25 pages per day and can go back and edit it sober. If I'm writing sober I can barely write 5 pages a day because I over think every line.

>>217427965
have you watched the movie ?

>when you know that you are in for kino
people enjoy/ed ultraviolent and unrealistic power fantasy movies. Just like you guys like toxic positivity capeshit.
Toxic Avenger was the capeshit back then.

>>217428165
People think Team America was a parody of American patriotism culture from that era, but that era was itself a parody of American patriotism from their parents era.
>>
>>217428165
Cannon did put out a lot of decent movies but they were just that, decent not great.
>>
>>217428051
>(believe it or not)
Im not going to ask you to dox yourself on 4chan but what genre do you write?
>>
>>217427795
its a great double feature with MacGruber as well
>>
>>217428160
Literally me and I just write Elite Dangerous fan fiction.
>>
>>217428228
the 90's only saw a resurgence of actual patriotism from liberals under the Bill Clinton era in the 90's because Bill Clinton sent Janet Reno to murder a bunch of rightwingers which resulted with the Oklahoma City Bombing in retaliation. The US has been a broken country since the end of World War 2.

I said I appreciate it because I've done the same thing. I think most everyone has.

And its still the best.

>>217428307
I write fantasy novels with homosexual romance subplots for single 30-50yo women. What can I say, its what get published.
>>
>>217427795
The real life story it was very loosely based off of was interesting but wouldn't have been as much fun (unless you're into child rape).
>>
>>217428395
we aren't even a country, and any attempt to reclaim our sovereignty is met with resistance from the entire world and clowns inside our country.

Is this muh ECONOMIC ZONE theory.
Not that I fucking recognize it as my country anymore.
>>
>>217428502
the whole world is an economic zone for a handful of the extremely wealthy.
>>
>>217428541
Yeah but some places have an intact identity.

>>217428661
and they want to destroy that and scatter you among a bunch of opposing tribes.

Its what sells with every major publisher. Purchasing editors are typically women between the ages of 30-50. If they don't like your novel it won't get bought. Deal with it.
>>
>>217427795
No. It's totally overrated. It shouldn't be on the list with actually 80's classics.
>>
>>217428857
that was their house.

>>217427795
killed off Sam Elliott, obviously a shit movie

>>217428968
There's been a lot of hostility lately towards anything from that era. Also towards people who grew up in that era. Based on other posts, it seems to be mostly twenty somethings raging at their parents for not buying them the right things for them when they were kids. Now they're trying to shit on what their parents liked as some weird sort of self therapy.
>>
>>217428968
An "idiot plot" means characters act stupider than they are otherwise depicted so the author can get out of the corner they wrote themselves into. Nothing tranny about it.
>>
Road House is awesome.
>>
>>217429142
Its shit and you have no taste.
>>
>>217429178
people with low test won't appreciate road house
>>
>>217428160
You are an alcoholic

For me it was that one random extra in the introductory scene for Sam Elliot, the one with the wet t-shirt event for the marines.
She had some fantastic jugs.
>>
I've never seen it but my older sister loves it because of Patrick Swayze.
>>
>>217429233
When compared to drinking quantities of preprohibition drinkers , I drink an average amount of alcohol. Deal with it.
>>
>>217429045
That makes sense. Caught up in the le boomers are bad stuff. Shame as that era produced insane kinos.

zoomers are too busy cutting each other’s dicks off to appreciate b-movies.

Literally sounds like what my wife will one day get published (shes a determined fantasy writer that writes more romance everytime)
>>
>>217427944
Such as?
>>
>>217427795
Probably the best “bad” movie of all time. Swayze is awesome, the one-liners are great, we see some nice tiddies etc. If you can’t enjoy watching Roadhouse you’re probably just a massive loser.
>>
>>217429780

If the character's communicated effectively , several of the scenes would never have happened.

"Romantacy" is what they are calling it. The minotaur milking farm falls into this category.

>>217427795
Jeff Healey band is in it, so its good

Earliest example I came think of is Porky's.

this is why giving women the right to vote and outlawing beating your children destroyed western society.
>>
>>217427795
It is quite literally the only perfect movie. Point Break comes close but it does have some flaws.
>>
>>217427795
i'm not sure the audience in the roadhouses is that stupid, though.
but it's an ok movie, yes.
>>
It's great. Ben Gazzara and Sam Elliot were perfect secondary characters.
>>
>>217427795
Is this the one about fucking guys in the ass in prison?
>>
>>217427980
Y-yeah, only back then, haha.
