Effin' NETFLIX just took "Road House" out of its streaming selection

[Miles Archer]

I just watched it yesterday. I was GOING to watch it again tonight. Now it's a "DVD only" flick. The effin' effers. Assuming that on the first of the month they make cuts. No idea what else is gone.

1. Yeah, but Bubba Ho-Tep just got added.

So, I'm happy.

2. But now you can stream Cockneys Vs. Zombies

AKA. Snatch with Zombies.

3. It will be back.......

Netflix seems to cycle things in and out steaming availability. I haven't figured out how long those cycles are. I had a bunch of James Bond movies in "My List" and suddenly they were gone. A few months later they were back. If you check the notes column of your "My List" they do give you warning when selections will expire. Then sometime down the road, they are back but they don't notify you. I check "My List" at least once a week.

4. That's gotta be a pain that does hurt n/t

5. Here it is in a nutshell..

6. Wow. Only 45 seconds!

7. One of the best worst movies ever made...

can't help myself: every time it is on, I confess I have to watch it. It is up there with Beastmaster.

8. Exactly!

Classic cheese. Even though I am a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000, I've deliberately avoided Mike Nelson's "RiffTrax" take on it (it was supposedly his first RiffTrax project). The jokes pretty much reveal themselves and don't need any outside assistance.

An interesting trivia tidbit for you:

Bill Murray Likes to Call Kelly Lynch’s Husband Every Time He Sees Patrick Swayze Having Sex With Her in Road House

The next time you instantly erase 114 minutes of your life by getting sucked, once again, into the vortex that is a cable viewing of Road House, rest assured that Bill Murray and his idiot brothers are out there somewhere, watching with you. At least that’s the story from Road House co-star Kelly Lynch, who, in a frankly awesome interview with The A.V. Club, says that Murray calls her husband, Mitch Glazer (co-writer of Murray’s 1988 Christmas Carol redux Scrooged), whenever the movie is on TV during one scene in particular:

Every time Road House is on and he or one of his idiot brothers are watching TV — and they’re always watching TV — one of them calls my husband and says [In a reasonable approximation of Carl Spackler], “Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. They’re doing it. He’s throwing her against the rocks.” [Away from the receiver.] What? Oh, my God. Mitch was just walking out the door to the set, and he said that Bill once called him from Russia.

To clarify, Bill Murray’s idiot brothers include fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Brian Doyle Murray and Mad Men star Joel Murray. Apparently, their sex-scene heckling is so reliable that Lynch has come to expect it every time — and she means every single time — Road House is on TV, which is a whole hell of a lot of times. “I dread it,” she says. “If I know it’s coming on — and I can tell when it’s coming on, because it blows up on Twitter when it is — I’m just like, ‘Oh, my God …’ And God help me when AMC’s doing their Road House marathon, because I know the phone is just going to keep ringing. It doesn’t matter if it’s 2 or 3 in morning. ‘Hi, Kelly’s having sex with Patrick Swayze right now …’”
