The Shoutbox
I thought it was entertaining, but would probably never watch it again. As for Jake performances, gotta love Nightcrawler and Prisoners.
The change of location was also an absolutely marvellous idea
it’s more of a homage than a reboot/remake. there were some key scenes that i wondered “how ya gonna top that” and thankfully they didn’t try. they worked within the framework of the original. subtle wink and nod sorta thing.

as a huge fan of the original i can say, other than the weird CGI choices, it was good.

Please, please, please forgive me 😭

I always get that one confused
with The Dark Crystal.

That must be from SNL
Patrick Swayze is so much more talented than Jake Gyllenhaal.

And no one can replace Sam Elliott.

I will stick with the original. You all can watch the secondhand remake.

Not even in Donnie Darko? or Brokeback Mountain?
Donnie Darko was decent. I am a Heath Ledger fan so I did see Brokeback in the theatre.
Original Road House is original.
