Road House with Ronda Rousey

(Anonymous) 2015-09-10 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
They're remaking Road House with Ronda Rousey in the Patrick Swayze part

http://variety.com/2015/film/news/ronda-rousey-road-house-reboot-1201567956/

One, I'm really excited, as a fan of everyone and everything involved in this, oh my god it's going to rule

Two, I thought it was an interesting case study in reference to the conversation recently about gender-swapped versions of characters and recasts and that kind of thing.

So.... thoughts?

I love Ronda Rousey, but she cannot act.

But does she look like she can rip a motherfucker's throat out?

I mean, this is Road House, it's not fucking Shakespeare.

Yeah, she's kind of bad. But I'll see it anyway, which is probably what the moviemakers are counting on.

Oooh. Let us pray there is no stupid romance.

I actually am praying for stupid romance that involves pegging.

A stupid romance wouldn't bother me as long as it's similar tonally and plot-wise to the romance plot in the original Road House. I mean, that is a really god-damn stupid romance plot. But I wouldn't object to a romance plot that put Rousey in the Swayze position and let her have the same attitude and the same agency that he had in the original film vis-a-vis romance.

But I agree that if they do some cookie-cutter type bullshit, it would be infuriating.

It's doubtful it will be that good.

I can't keep myself back from hoping, though.

She is a terrible, terrible actress.

About time she became the next female action star, I say.

I have never seen Ronda Rousey in anything. I'm not sure that Roadhouse needs a fighter instead of a dancer/stage fighter, but I am really into this kind of gender-switching, and I like a lot of the original movie, so this is an idea I am on board with.

OMG, the crybabis in the comments of that article. You'd think the master of RH was going to be burned and all copies melted down so that *only* this reboot existed. Jayzus.

Whaaaaat that's amazing. I'm glad she's such a star, she's a real badass, beasty fighter. I almost had to face her during a junior national tournament for judo when I was a kid and I'm so glad I didn't because she and her mom terrified me, lol. She is the real deal. I never imagined she'd become a movie star though.
