it a great film one of the best he as doine i think it relly says some thing

[edit] Homoeroticism

Someone should address this with an in-depth analysis. No movie where the villain says "I used to fuck guys like you in prison" when he has the protagonist in a headlock from behind can be considered straight. People say Top Gun is gay, but Road House is right up there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rick Rossovich (talk • contribs).

First of all, Wikipedia editors are not supposed to write in-depth analyses. They are supposed to write material that summarizes already published information. Second, one scene in which one character says one line that is likely a taunt capitalizing on a social expectation of prison behavior, hardly makes homoeroticism (note the correct spelling) a theme worth discussing in this article. Perhaps the article you are looking for is Prison sexuality. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

First off, way to be the stereotypical pompous Wikipedia guy. Maybe if you have actually seen this movie and understand it, you would realize that while I picked one scene there are many other scenes that make the movie homoerotic. There are plenty of Wikipedia entries on movies that examine themes, social impact, etc., all of which go beyond summaries. Secondly, I was joking. If someone seriously wrote an in-depth analysis of homoeroticism in Road House I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Rick Rossovich 20:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Some people watch films like Road House for the moral issues, or the conflict between classes. Some enjoy a good set of barroom brawls. Some see homoeroticism. Some watch them to laugh at the corny dialog. As the saying goes, what one brings to a work of art is an important element in how one views the work. I apologize for missing your joke, but I what I bring to talk pages that ask for "analyses" is a tired familiarity with others' desires to turn Wikipedia articles into blogs about their subjects. I'm sorry for getting a bit tchetchy about it. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
