getting hooked
I have clearly addressed my love and devotion to the movie Road House several times (or more) on this blog. How then, could I have not known about Road House 2? I’m ashamed of myself, really. And excited to order it from payperview as soon as possible. Like, maybe tonight even.
I don’t know if I talked about Walking Tall here yet - I think I did - but it’s fast becoming a Road House movie for me. Which basically means that I can watch it whenever it comes on, even if it’s every day, and can watch it from anyplace in the movie. Although one of my favorite scenes is when the Rock is watching the firewoman dance - his expressions are priceless. The husband said the film is not as good as the original, and I didn’t even know there was an original. So now I’m going to have to watch that too. Lots to do.
Oh, and Larissa got me hooked on Men In Trees, with Anne Heche. Loved it. Did anyone else catch it?

I never knew there was a Road House 2 either. Huh. I did know the latest Walking Tall was a remake. I’ve even seen the original. In fact, I think I saw it in a theater when it first came out. In retrospect, I’m amazed my parents let me go see something that violent without supervision.
Men in Trees. Haven’t seen the second episode yet (I recorded it), but I loved the premiere episode!

When the original Walking Tall came out, I was invited to a birthday party where we were going to see the movie. Unfortunately, it was rated PG, and my mom wouldn’t let me go, so I’ve never seen it.

I’m with ya. On Roadhouse and Walking Tall. Althoguh I have to say I saw Roadhouse 2 inteh video store the other day but didn’t feel the urge to rent it. LOL
I also caught MEn IN Trees, and thought it was great. It sucks fro me that it’s regular night is Fridays though because the timer is busted on my VCR and I work Friday nights :(

I missed Road House 2 as well. Who is even in it? Watched and loved Men as Trees. Appreciated the humor. With all the new shows added this week, so glad I have a DVR.

Sounds like Men in Trees is a hit around here :)
Tori - how did you think the films compared, or did you not see the new WT?
Sasha - you have to make someone tape it for you!!! And I have to check and make sure that it’s not on at the same time as the Unit - alhough they might be on the same channel…
Jean - that’s too funny!!! My mom wouldn’t let me go to Girl Scout Camp…because she was worried about ticks. But movies? I could see anything.
Cathy - I know what you mean about the DVR - I have way too many shows all of a sudden!!!

I could READ anything. Couldn’t see Walking Tall, but I could buy and READ Deliverance. Go figure.

I caught Men In Trees, and loved it also. Good acting, quirky storyline (lov’d the raccoon bit), good writing, good looking guys. I’m hooked.

I didn’t care for the new Walking Tall. It seemed more like a synopsis than a story, if that makes any sense. They just skimmed over what could have been great.
And I tried to watch part of Men in Trees. But as a devoted Northern Exposure fangirl, it made me a little ticked off, actually.
Maybe I’ll give it another try, though.

Re: Roadhouse and Roadhouse 2, Bryan says he’s lost all respect for you.
I know you live and breathe by what he thinks.

Men in Trees was pretty good…I would watch it again. It had just the right amount of quirkiness to hold my attention. The whole raccoon incident amused me way more than it should have! So did the bitchy agent and the snowblower.
Road House is one movie I will always watch…if only to hear Jeff Healy and catch a glimpse of Swayze’s nekkid butt! Haven’t had the “pleasure” of RH2, though!
I saw the original Walking Tall from the 70’s and the remake. The original was way more serious and intense IMO and the remake was a lot more fun…and we got to see Dewayne Johnson (as he now prefers to be called!) and Johnny Knoxville.

Oh, I never saw the new Walking Tall. Love the Rock, though. :)

There’s a Road House 2? And it’s on Pay Per View? Where was I when this came about?

I loved Roadhouse. IN a huge way! There’s a Roadhouse 2? Really?
And I adore Men in Trees! I think it’s a great show. Love the characters.

Looks like I’ll actually have to catch Men in Trees. Hadn’t heard about it until I visited here!
Loved Walking Tall, knew it was a remake, never saw the original. My husband talks about it, though.
I could watch The Rock (or whatever he prefers to be called) all day long.
