The Worst Is Yet To Come

Last night we made it to Central Cinema for a sold-out showing of Roadhouse, which we're imagining is the one and only time Roadhouse has sold out anywhere. It was part of "From BAD to WORSE: Cinematic Terribleness in 6 easy pieces," hosted by David "I'm in ur Showgirls DVD, commentating" Schmader. Schmader gave us an introduction, we set into a pitcher of beer and a personal pizza, and the carnage began. Our previous experience with Roadhouse came from seeing excerpts from it on Saturday afternoon TV, and we were a little unprepared for lines like "Pain don't hurt," and "I used to fuck guys like you in prison!" From the back, Schmader chimed in via microphone and rewound key plot points (or their absence) in super slo-mo. Whoever was costuming Swayze outdid themselves. Still to come are the Dolly/Stallone-tastic Rhinestone and the Affleck/J-Lo implosion Gigli. *shudder*

as one of the 7 people worldwide who own the Road House DVD, i am sad i was unaware of this screening. i hope that the line "knife boot" wasn't ignored?

i quoted the following line at a friend's wedding when asked to talk about love (or something):

all you need to do is follow these 3 simple rules: 1) never underestimate your opponent, expect the unexpected. 2) take it outside. never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. and 3) be nice.

I know I can't forget the beauty of his sweaty martial arts exercising on the lawn. The camera loves that man!

"I used to fuck guys like you in prison" Is actually a helluva pick up line.

I use it as often as possible. People want to diss Swayze's Genius but they can't forget the beauty of his work.

Try quoting "Crash", you can't because it's boring, pretentious crap- AKA the opposite of Swayze, now tell me who should have won the Oscar.
