Roadhouse 2: Last CallFollow

I too, am among the select few who have been blessed with the opportunity to experience this cinimatic masterpiece. I had the good fortune to screen it at the Cannes Film Festival where it won the prestigous Palme de Swayze. I hesitate to even use the word 'screen' as Roadhouse 2 is so much more than a mere visual or audiatoru experience. It caresses all of your senses like the subtlest and most caring of prison lovers.

Really, where to begin? The raw putrid stench of pure genius emminated from the very first frame, a stunning vista of Lousiana swampland clearly and cunningly symbolizing the plught of the working class man in todays capitalist world. While the characters may have been named "Nate" and "Bo" and "Wild Bill" the clearl subtext of "Christ" and "Mary" and "Mohammed" is all to gripping. Busey's subtle, nuanced approach to the cahracter of "Wild Bill" lays bare the moddern struggle of the West to grapple with the dual nature of Islam. He is at once peacefull yet violent. Chaste and yet lecherous. Beset on all sides by thos jealous of his grace, he struggles mightily to prevail, but alas, this is no fairy tale. The chilling ever powerfull reach of the entrenched selfishness of society reaches out and grabs even the mighty Bill by the balls.

When did the tears start for me? It's hard to say. Was it when I learned that Bill warned his cousin Bo of coming danger to protect her in an act of sheer selfless benevolence, or was it perhaps later, when that self same cousin betrayed him, without even the conpensation offered by 40 pieces of gold? It was then, I think. When all it took to buy her love was the sengorged member of a shirtless man whose confused brooding look could be resisted by none. Women litterally hruled themselves at the screen in the showing I was at whenver his forehead showed the slightest crinkle of thought. I belive many died, and I know for certain that all of the pre-menopausal women in the theater were immediately impregnated. Such power such force. I frankkly find myslef overwhelmed. I would continue, but honestly untill you've experienced it for yourself, there will be no way you could understand. Language fails. All I can say is hat those who know Roadhouse 2 have seen the path to heaven and are better for it.

Thumbs up.

Wow, the price of betrayal really has gone through the roof hasn't it?

Were there Mullets in this version?

How is the soundtrack?

I bet it can't beat the first one,

1.Roadhouse Blues - Jeff Healey Band : Blind guy with a Mullet who plays a steel lap pedal guitar.

2. Blue Monday - Bob Seger: Drunk, and from Detroit, you may remember his song "Like a Rock" which he let Chevy use to sell SUV's. Also he sports a Mullet and a acid washed full length denim coat.

3. I'm Tore Down - Jeff Healey Band: Hey it's the blind Canadian dude again, hey he's playing the guitar and he's blind, amazing!

4. These Arms Of Mine - Otis Reading: Awesome song, and it really gave the P.R. guy a hard-on, since Otis had been dead for twenty years and the studio owned the rights to the song, which is a soundtrack guys wetdream.

5. When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky - Jeff Healey Band: Hey we could use another song from that blind Canadian guy, and did you see he wears a Mullet.

6. Red Gumbo - Little Feat :At this point in their career, this critically acclaimed band is so desperate for a hit and some cash flow, they decide let this movie about Mullets and fighting in bars use their music.

7. Raising Heaven (In Hell Tonight) - Patrick Swayze : He FUcking owns Hasselhoff. Do click the player, provided in link, and see what I mean.

8. A Good Heart - Kris McKay : Giving the director blowjobs, so she gets a song on the soundtrack. Really though, very talented.

9. Hoochie Coochie Man - Jeff Healey Band: Ha, so we got this blind guy from Canada, who plays a mean steal pedal guitar, and best of all he has a Mullet.

10. Cliff's Edge - Patrick Swayze :Which is exactly, what you want to drive off of, when you listen to it.

This is really Nexa flashing her metaphorical leg in hopes that someone will buy her cable. Hang on, little soldier!

I actually saw him at a bar in Grand Rapids a couple years ago. He was indeed drunk, and he was also wearing a Bob Seger concert T-Shirt. Made him easy enough to identify at the least.

That thing actually got a lot of hype a few months ago and I saw some interviews with SS where she actually seemed to be taking it seriously

Don't get me wrong. I'd still hit it.

I just wouldn't pay to see her movie.

If you want a cinematic masterpiece, you must watch Pursued with Christian Slater. That movie has it all. The bad guy in Christian Slater spewing eloquent phrases with underlying animosity. The good guy fighting an internal battle between making money and keeping his virtuous ethics while protecting his family. It perhaps even surpassed Waterworld and The Postman for in your face serious life themes.

Walken has never been in a bad movie. Walken makes all movies glorious just by his brilliance.

If you really wanted people to watch this you shouldn't have included Waterworld or Postman.

Good point. As soon as someone tells me a movie could have more serious life themes than either Waterworld or Postman, they lose all credibility.
