Ronda Rousey. Roadhouse Remake. Sigh.

Sacrilege. IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE!? I'm not annoyed by most remakes, but as far as I'm concerned, No Swayze = No roadhouse.

UFC fighter Ronda Rousey is starring in MGM’s reboot of the 1980s cult classic “Road House.” Rousey will step into the role Patrick Swayze made famous.

Sources say MGM is currently meeting with screenwriters, with production set to begin in 2016.

Released in 1989, the original film starred Swayze as a bouncer hired to clean up one of the rowdiest, loudest bars in Missouri, The Double Deuce. Swayze’s character is put to the test when he needs to protect the town from a corrupt businessman.

The movie became a breakout hit and still has reached cult status today. This follows MGM’s reboot of another classic; the “Rocky” spinoff “Creed” hits theaters in November.

Rousey embraced the idea of starring in a remake, but wanted to be respectful when pursuing the project. Sources say Rousey recently reached out to Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi, to ask for her blessing, which Niemi gladly gave.

The project would mark Rousey’s biggest acting gig to date. This will be the fourth project being specifically developed for Rousey to star in, following her biopic “My Fight/Your Fight” at Paramount, “The Athena Project” at Warner Bros. and the STX action pic “Mile 22,” which has Pete Berg on board to direct. Production for the latter is set to start in February, following Rousey’s next fight against Holly Holm on Nov. 14.

Rousey has already had a busy year at the cinema, appearing in “Furious 7” and the “Entourage” movie after a cameo in last year’s “The Expendables 3.”

How much longer do we have to deal with this Ronda-Rousey-Is-So-Hot-You-Guys thing? Longer than the media tried pushing the idea that Danica Patrick and Serena Williams were hot?

Serena Williams has more testosterone in her veins that Ferrigno and Arnold did combined in 1978.And while some of theirs was natural, none of hers is natural. Do they test tennis players at all?

I can walk down any street in Elizabeth and walk past 10 black brick sh*thouses built exactly like Serena that are not using hgh/steroids. In fact tennis has a quite extensive testing process. Top 50 players must always declare their location to be randomly tested at any time. Serena was tested 11 times last year.

She's built exactly like her father. And given how he's raised those girls I can all but assure he'd be livid if he found either cheated. I hate to tell you but she's just built, and unlike most girls her size she can also move fast which makes her a deadly combo in tennis.

Thank you.  I honestly have no clue why everyone is so obsession with this chick.  

And this is a horrible idea.  Sounds stupid as sh*t.

Chemistry will always be way ahead of testing.With this much money in endorsements and prizes, you discount too quickly this likelihood she is doing something extra.

I agree on the chemistry aspect, however it's a heck of a jump just to conclude she must be based on her size. If you really want to get to the nitty gritty of it, if she were really dosed up on roofs/hgh/test as you imply it would be very unlikely she'd be walking around with an enormous rack. All the female body builders have no breasts or fake breasts for a reason, high levels of testosterone inhibits breast growth substantially.

I'm not gonna get into a debate back and forth on drug use. I just think it's a bit sexist to look at a large strong woman who happens to be the best ever at her sport and discount all her achievements because she's big. She's always been big, it's not like Barry Bonds being skinny at 34 and looking like a woolly mammoth at 35.

Why are they taking classic films from the 80's and making lame PG-13 remakes?  Is it really all about the money?

Because all the creative writers and great actors are starting to realize they can really make a masterpiece out of a series or miniseries without major network restrictions through Netflix, Amazon, HBO, showtime, etc.

movie attendance is down big time and rental chains like Blockbuster going down had to have hurt the film industry

 

the great thing about blockbuster was walking around browsing movies you never heard of and watching.  You can't really do that on redbox or Netflix but hey nobody wants to actually pay for anything anymore

That's funny, I find it to be just the opposite personally. Going into BB was really just a beeline to the just released section most of the time. I find with Netflix I am much more inclined to browse and watch something I otherwise would never have given a chance.

I think the difference is, on Netflix I will browse and watch something and then stop and start of give up.  Once you picked that sh*tty movie up at Video Vault you were stuck with it and you were going to watch it to the end even if it sucked.  With Netflix there is stuff that I like that I just don't pay that much attention to because I can go back to it later.  Long Way Round and Idiot Abroad are perfect examples.  I watched, I liked, and I stopped.  I keep forgeting to go back to them.

the problem with Netflix is you pull up the menu and 2,000 different mockbusters and God awful tv shows come up and you just dismiss it all and type in the movie you really want to see in the search field
