Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the ultimate in theatrical review and literary theory.

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I need to see this.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, is anyone else wondering why Eisbar was initially searching for a "patrick swayze statue"?

― A Nairn (moretap), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Why the fuck wouldn't you be searching for that??

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

This looks AWESOME. Count me in.

― B61 (calstars), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

WHY DID I LEAVE NEW YORK?!??!

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Not the 17th!!! That is the night of Mission Of Burma.

Go on without me.

― Carey (Carey), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you notice to get the discount tickets you have to type in the discount code: MULLET.

― Carey (Carey), Friday, 9 January 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Can someone videotape and upload this?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 January 2004 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure, if you pay for our tickets.

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Time for me to rob that bank.

I love this review snippet:

"Guarriello's fight choreography is impressively complex. In any given sequence, up to ten actors in harnesses and bungee cords are ricocheting off trampolines or making athletic head kicks at each other while breakaway tables shatter and fake vomit flies. It's like watching Jerry Bruckheimer go Off-Off Broadway. "

It is, indeed, my way or the highway.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 9 January 2004 01:15 (twenty-two years ago)

What?

― TOMBOT, Friday, 9 January 2004 02:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh sweet Lord that sounds fantastic.

― Matt (Matt), Friday, 9 January 2004 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

you will come, yes tombot?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 9 January 2004 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Who is bringing the mezcal?

― TOMBOT, Friday, 9 January 2004 03:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do you hate fun all the damn time?

― Allyzay, Friday, 9 January 2004 04:07 (twenty-two years ago)

let's decide upon a mutually acceptable date on which to go to this!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

My god.

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, I want to come too! I don't know who the actor dude is but I love mullet wigs!!

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

omg this might actually get me out of the house

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll go. maybe someone will turn this musical back into a movie, just like the producers. we will get to witness magic

― maura (maura), Friday, 9 January 2004 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

So are we actually going to do this? I guess it will take some planning if we all want to sit in the same section. What day are people leaning towards?

― o. nate (onate), Sunday, 11 January 2004 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I AM GOING TO TURN GREEN WITH ENVY WHEN YOU ALL GO. *cries*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 11 January 2004 19:16 (twenty-two years ago)

you know in Last Dragon Leroy's little brother called him a "chocolate covered yellow peril." Now he's a chocolate covered yellow-haired peril. I'm totally jealous of all y'all big city folks for having this.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 11 January 2004 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

so when will we pull this bitch off? i can wait till the 24th (so carey can go, if she wants to). lemme know, so i can begin planning, making calls, etc.!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:26 (twenty-two years ago)

if only nicholars could come in from michigan ... :-(

Seriously, if I had the time and money to go right now I'd be there in a heartbeat! This sounds fantastic.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 12 January 2004 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I finally watched Roadhouse on tv over Xmas break. I suspect it was highly edited. I didn't even hear the "it's my way or the highway" line that, for obvious reasons, I was hoping for. So. This means I have to watch it again at some point, I guess.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 12 January 2004 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

The 24th sounds good to me.

― o. nate (onate), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 01:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't not go this weekend on my account.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 13 January 2004 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

23rd or 24th sounds good - who's organizing?

― B61 (calstars), Friday, 16 January 2004 02:47 (twenty-two years ago)

if everyone's OK wr2 this, the tentative date is next saturday, jan 24th. i will call the box-office this weekend re: availability of tix, etc., and will post details re same here.

also, anyone interested please e-mail me and/or post here so that i have an idea of how many folks will be coming. don't overdo it though, i'm not yer secretary :-o

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 16 January 2004 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

bump

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 19 January 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I sat next to the guy who's playing Swayze's character in the Pink Teacup on Saturday night. The hair is real.

― hstencil, Monday, 19 January 2004 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you tug on it gently?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

no, I didn't want to take part in further health violations in an already roach-infested restaurant.

― hstencil, Monday, 19 January 2004 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Wise, really.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 January 2004 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 23 January 2004 04:01 (twenty-one years ago)

If you bastards don't go I renounce you forever.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 January 2004 04:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I will go to this. But I can't this weekend.

― Otis D. Wheeler, Friday, 23 January 2004 04:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I found this comment on the IMDB for the original:

(kevdoggy@hotmail.com)
Portland, OR

Date: 27 November 2003
Summary: Waitress, there's a tooth in my glass

Swazee makee me crazee with his philosophee punching wayzies! Dalton, do yer punchin' whilst bleach blonde Kelly Lynch cottons bunchin'. Sam Elliot says grizzled and grisled beef that's what's for dinner. Hey Kevin Tighe! No more career Emergency! for you! (for now!) Blues twanger Jeff Healy turn yer Angel Eyes away from the hate in Brad Wesley's Gazarrified heart! The polar bear on wheels may have put in the best performance here. John Doe, X marks the spot where you touched me as Pat McGurn, Wesley's nephew. Carrie Ann, Barmaid/Singer at Double Deuce, you better knock, knock on wooden acting. See the sex scene that launched the against-the-wall coitus craze of the 90s! If there were an Oscar for mullet count, and there should be, it would be Rowdy Herrington to the stage please.

― TOMBOT, Friday, 23 January 2004 04:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i hope the musical has a polar bear on wheels, too/

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 23 January 2004 04:19 (twenty-one years ago)

OTIS FUCKING WHEELER. Uh just had to do that.

How's this weekend for anyone/everyone?

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm fine w/ it.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Can't make it to the East Coast this weekend, but I will try to go to an actual roadhouse and get into some sh*t with the yokels.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

with a blond mullet wig?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

THIS isn't a wig! k?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Spencer if you bring a chimp you could be Clint Eastwood!

Any day better this weekend than others? People are also discussing some sort of BBQ thingy on another thread.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:19 (twenty-one years ago)

i think that saturday is the only weekend day on which this show plays.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 02:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I might can go, still. If I can, I will try to refrain from cutting my hair, in honor of the baby mullet that I'm sporting. And if I go to this BBQ, I will try to bring some buffalo.

― Otis Fucking Wheeler, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 04:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Check yr email my love.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 04:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I will be away away away this weekend. But, someone try to touch the mullet for me.

― Carey (Carey), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

anyone who's in, please e-mail me

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 29 January 2004 02:54 (twenty-one years ago)
