Road House Remake Discussion Thread Starring Conor McGregor

[markg171]

I feel bad for Jake. He is such a good actor to get a bad rap for co starring in a great 80's movie remake with a terrible fighter/actor/coke head/ drunk.

Tell me you haven't paid attention to Jake's career without telling me.

He's been a 50/50 actor his entire career.

 

[Jin Akutsu]

Conor was one of the better parts, actually watch the movie and report back.

 

[SamuraiBro]

I just watched it. Was honestly really boring and stale. Phony looking fights. Conor was actually pretty funny to watch.

The only movie i didn't like was the only movie i didn't watch and that was Broke back Mountain.

I bet that was the only movie of his you liked.

 

[blaseblase]

Conor stans must be jizzing themselves with all the ass he showed in this movie.

He's better in non-action roles for the most part. Stronger. End of Watch. Brothers. He's exceptional in Nightcrawler. He reminds me of a younger Christian Bale in that role. I thought he was solid in Southpaw but was moping through most of the film.

Conor did a great job for his first roll!! Holy shit!! Conor will get more parts because of his performance! Haters will continue to hate because he didn’t Robert de Niro this shit hahahahhahs

All Hollyweird remakes these days are done with race swapping, it's the agenda, along with ensuring almost every single movie and tv show has gay or trans representation, shit if all one did is sit at home watching American movies and TV one would think every second person on the planet is black along with being a homosexual or has gone through gender reassignment surgery.

You know it's bad when immediately all of the horrible cirticisms about the new Star Wars Acolyte trailer were being pre-emptively attributed to the fact that there wasn't a single white male in the trailer.

Which yes, true. There literally isn't any. Everybody's some kind of minority. There's not a single white male Anakin Skywalker or Obi-Wan Kenobi in sight. But that's not the problem, as any Star Wars fan could tell you. People loved Mace, Lando, and wished Finn had been the protagonist of the sequels. Let alone actual aliens like Yoda. Star Wars fans are among the least racist you could name, but that was the immediate response to all the backlash.

Couldn't possibly have been due to the utterly incoherent plot from the start considering the entire point of The Phantom Menace was that Darth Maul was the first Sith in 1000 years to reveal themselves and this was utterly retconning that by having the Sith reveal themselves 100 years prior to Darth Maul.

Must've been an anti DEI push instead of a shit writing push.

Just watched it. As a mindless action flick it was pretty entertaining. If you're expecting a piece of cinematic art you're going to be disappointed, but it was more enjoyable than I anticipated.

Jake's career is like:

Day After Tomorrow - Shit
Brokeback Mountain - Depends on your sexualitiy/political persuasion
Jarhead - Shit
Zodiac - Good
Prince of Persia - Good but needed way better writing and directing
Source Code - Shit
Prisoners - Good
Nightcrawlers - Good
Southpaw - Good
Spider-Man - Shit

He's always been a mixed bag. He's never been some straight A actor who never misses, either performance or movie choice.

Which as someone about halfway through Road House, seems to be holding steady so far.

 

[Neck&Neck]

MEGA THREAD !!!

 

[Ornife]

It was ok. Maybe 5 out of 10.

Source Code is good. I mean, I like it, but objectively it has a 92 % rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5 on IMDB, so calling it "shit" is a bit silly if we're judging Gyllenhaal's carreer from a (somewhat) objective point of view. Also you can't really fault Brokeback Mountain as a movie based on it being politically divisive.

Also Enemy is good, and Velvet Buzzsaw is good (I love Jake in that movie, great job!). And Donnie Darko.

I'm not arguing that Jake Gyllenhaal does everything right, but he's definitely not a hit or miss kinda actor. He's done too much quality work to be labelled as such.

Gonna watch the film now, will let you guys know how it goes in few hours

 

[TITS]

For those haven't seen it yet, Conor doesn't show up until 54 minutes into the movie. The whole film just reeks of forced Hollywood "diversity" with all the other characters from the original movie replaced with completely different types of gender/race/body-type roles. I actually fell asleep around 90 minutes in, so I don't know the ending yet.

Best supporting actor is locked up for next year's Oscars

There's literally nothing woke about this movie lol. The bar owner's a black woman. Nothing about her being a black or a woman is forced into the actual story.

Watched it last night.

Bland and soulless. No charm whatsoever.

The only redeeming feature was Conor. And even then, his character was way too goofy.

You don't have to be gay to appreciate that movie, one of his best.
Another one he is really good in is End of watch,

 

[JustforBROCK]

Terrible movie.
