Roadhouse 2024

I enjoyed the K-rap out of this movie. I never pass up the Swayze version over the years. The setting was great (Florida Keys but filmed in Dominican Rep.). Most of the actors were believable but some of the plot fell short.

I have seen half of the movie yesterday. Solid B class.

Second half is a C class - mostly because of unnecessary and shitty CGI. And Knox player by McGregor is too cartoonish.

Road House movie review & film summary (2024) | Roger Ebert

“Road House” likes to explicitly reference that it thinks it’s a Western. It’s more like a cartoon.

Nascar isn’t my thing, but I enjoy F1, Indy car and stuff like that.

I like 1/8th and 1/4th mile straight tracks. Especially the bikes.

Can't stand 1/8th, but I do a fair bit of 1/4 mile drag racing (heads up, no bracket racing) and road racing. Do you race, or watch?

Just watch anymore. Me and three friends kept a Comp class going for 8-seasons. Good times.
There is a local track that still does the "run what you bring" brackets which are good laughs to watch.

There was a plot?

Yes I agree. I should have left out the words "some of".

I don't like bracket racing, because the best car for bracket racing isn't a quick car. It's one that will never break the tires loose.
Our local tracks has the Friday Night Drags. Run what you brung, heads up racing. The same place also has a 2.2 mile, 10 turn road course. Fun stuff.
We watched Roadhouse last night. It wasn't bad, given the genre. Connor MacGregor was terrible, but that's to be expected.

Plots are WAY overrated.

I just watched the reboot of Roadhouse last night. I didn't have high expectations going into it and I was very underwhelmed. From the opening "fight scene" that looked like he was punching a CGI bad guy (don't know if it was or not, but that is how it looked) to the lack of any real plot, it just didn't do it for me.

While I can rewatch the original over and over with its cheesiness, this was a one and done for me.
